Pitchblack Playback edit
Gomori founded Pitchblack Playback in 2016.[9] In an interview with AOL.com, he said of the events origins and ethos: “I want to change the way people listen to albums and get back to the way people used to -- revere them and get inside them, obsessed with them. People grow up listening to crappy Bluetooth speakers and headphones, and I want to show them there’s something better to strive for.”
He cites the inspirations for the event as a combination of attending a press preview of Amon Tobin's album ISAM[10] and Samuel Beckett's play Endgame[11], the first act of which is held in the dark.
