Album Notes

"I am very impressed with the music as they are wonderful tracks and composures!"
-Todd M. Bates (Haunted Voices Radio)
President/Director/Radio Host

"A collection of atmospheric haunted house soundscapes that would make John Tesh's gonads retract..."Sceptre" assembles beautiful and unsettling minor-key melodies using synth swells, timpani rumbles and crunch organ, while laboured breathing pulses in the periphery. It's creepy stuff to be sure...Good writers will obten advise to write what you know-I don't think I want to know what old Sceptre's got stashed in his tackle trunk."
-From TT in "Audio Drome"

You are invited to Dark Halls where the mysterious and threatening become eerily real. This is your soundtrack to the dark realms of evolving terror. This world of ominous music is perfect for any haunted attraction or for some midnight listening alone. Each fully developed track creates a total of sixty-nine minutes of alluring and evolving sounds to entice your dark side.

Dark Halls consists of nine areas where our creatures lie.

I.Within the Dark Halls at Nightfall
The grounds of Dark Halls where all paths lead to the front door.

II. Passages in the Dark
Where you will find yourself in the twisting ever-changing hallways.

III. Carnival Noir
Please come in and meet our fun-loving nightmare clowns and undead performers.

IV. Becoming a Shadow
Ah, yes, look around, you have already started to lose yourself to us.

V. Under the House
You try to run and hide, but soon you will meet the horrors under our home.

VI. When the Walls Whisper Your Name
You are beginning to hear darkness call to you to join us.

VII. The Keeper of Nightmare
Allow the keeper to share with you the haunting nightmares within.

VIII. The Shapeshifter
It comes as you stand in the long empty hallway, slowly morphing towards you.

IX. Dark Halls
Now, you have made your way to our master chambers where the true terror is revealed.

Sceptre is the dark alter-ego of A.C. Sharp who reaches into the dark, mysterious reaches of the human psyche. Sceptre was created when A.C. was working in his studio to create various forms of music. Finally, he reached inside and found the dark soundscapes which explore haunting and frightening images.

With Blue Hush Dark, the darker side of Blue Hush Productions, Sceptre utilized various processors and instruments to create the moods filled within Dark Halls. He has created music for theatre productions as well as produced various other works with a much lighter tone, but Dark Halls is the exploration of the darker reaches of ourselves which we find while watching horror movies or during Halloween.

You are invited to the Dark Halls.
