Music for Séances (a nod to Brian Eno) is a series of ambient music releases by different artists which are meant to envoke feelings of mystery, discovery, and ceremony. Each package is decorated to look like a vintage Ouija-style Talking Board. Some are gothic and dark, others are light-hearted and silly. The project, along with the music selected, is meant to encompass all aspects of the diverse nature of the boards, and can be taken as "seriously" or not as the artist and listener desire.

If you are having problems playing your Talking Board CDR, please read this page for more information. If your board and artwork are clear (invisible), you have found a one-of-a-kind Magic Box that you can read about here.

If you would like to receive infrequent announcements when a new edition is released, you can subscribe to the MFS Announcement Mailing List. An archive of announcements is also available.

The main edition of 50 copies are distributed through Art*O*Mat vending machines. These are vintage cigarette machines that have been converted, restored, and decorated in various art styles or themes. A person buys tokens and can then purchase a piece of art (or in this case, a music box.) There are currently a couple dozen machines active, mostly on the east coast, and more are being installed every month. Please visit Art*O*Mat Locations to see examples of these lovely machines and a list of places where they are installed, including:

There are four different versions of each release. Please note: in the event that a CDR does not play properly, it will be replaced for free with a 3" CDR version.
