In 2019, an unmarked box was discovered containing 35mm slides and a series of cassette tapes attributed to Rev. LV. The recordings consist of spoken reflections, fragments of hymns, and extended passages of piano tape loops, a body of work existing somewhere between devotional practice and private sound study. Alongside them, a red binder containing colour slides documented unknown subjects, at once intimate and estranged.

A GUIDE TO INNER LIGHT brings these materials together for the first time. The cassettes have been digitized and lightly restored, sequenced into a continuous listening experience. The accompanying book gathers selections of the photographs, printed in risograph to echo their fading hues.

Edited and assembled by artist Mark Templeton, this release is part archival, part interpretive – a document that blurs devotion, memory, and listening practice.
