The Lost Past Society was incepted by Edinburgh based musician and producer John Ritchie. The Sound of the Lost Past Society is a maelstrom of Soundscapes and melodies designed to create a sense and feeling of Melancholy and Nostalgia.
The music, created with a blend of modular synthesis, tape loops, obsolete media and prepared samples, is inspired by the sounds pioneered at the BBC radiophonic workshop and takes influenced from vintage public information films and 70's folk horror.
