THE GHOSTS OF HANTON VILLAGE
Richard Bone
Sept. 15, 2009
*** Sold Out ***

Richard Bone's The Ghosts Of Hanton Village represents his 25th release on the Quirkworks label. It contains 10 ambient works inspired by the folklore surrounding Hanton Village, a mysterious commune in the northwest hills of Rhode Island. It was settled by a group of unknown travelers in 1790..........who vanished without a trace in 1890. Like the stories themselves, the music ranges from dark, chilling excursions to music filled with hope and promise.

Here's a bit more information about the mysterious HANTON VILLAGE . . .

Hanton Village was a late 1700's settlement just down the road from Richard's home. No one knows why this community was settled so far from the larger village of Smithfield, Rhode Island. Some historians think they were banished for either being witches, diseased or even runaway slaves. More mysterious yet is that the villagers vanished without a trace. Pots were still sitting on the hearths. They simply disappeared!


THE GHOST OF HANTON VILLAGE is often available to download
in its entirety or by single tracks through
