Backstory

Nobody believed the scratched metal disc could sing until Ingrid placed it on her great-aunt's peculiar phonograph, unleashing the haunting voice of a Civil War soldier recording his final message home in 1863. Her great-aunt Astrid, a reclusive sound archivist who collected "voices from the void," had spent decades hunting these impossible recordings—audio captured on experimental devices that shouldn't have existed yet. That first ghostly message sparked Ingrid's obsession with finding the human stories hidden between the lines of official history, leading her to discover an entire collection of these phantom recordings scattered across forgotten estates and basement collections. She now brings that same sense of discovery to her classroom, her voice carrying the rhythm of those long-lost voices as she reveals the secret symphonies of the past.
