About Slightly Out Of Frame
Slightly Out Of Frame explores the profound connection between the in between and the creative spark. Artists, writers and musicians are essentially translators of the unseen. They are always reaching into the shadows, the quiet thresholds, and the unexplainable to pull out something tangible. This podcast explores how a strange occurrence or an encounter with the liminal actually infiltrates a piece of music, a chapter of a book or a visual artwork.

Tonight on Slightly Out of Frame, we open our shift high in the hills above the Italian Riviera exploring the tragic history, ghost stories and artistic rebirth of Bussana Vecchia.

The Sacred Pause: Egeskov Castle, Titania’s Palace and Liminality.
The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights.

Sun, Shadow and the Watchful Bush: Exploring Australian Gothic
The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights. Tonight on Slightly Out of Frame, we turn our eyes inland away from the coast to step directly into the sunbaked, haunting frequency of Australian Gothic. Unlike European gothic narratives defined by crumbling castles and foggy cobblestones, Australian Gothic finds its terror in the crushing sun, hypnotic heat haze, and the uncanny, indifferent silence of an ancient bushland. Stepping into her author alter ego, Raven Starfenne, host Sylvana explores how the landscape itself becomes an antagonist, distorting human psychology and reminding us how fragile our architecture remains against the vastness of the continent of Australia.

We open the shift exploring the heavy history, dark tunnel rumors, and lingering hauntings of the Hoover Dam and examine how massive, industrial structures contain and radiate human friction. We then step across the threshold into the dark avant garde industrial black metal universe of Antania. Joining us on the shift are Kali and Doc Luna, the driving forces behind Antania. Blending brooding synthesizers, haunting vocal melodies, raw industrial textures, and a striking visual aesthetic, their music explores the shadowy, liminal spaces between machine, emotion, and magic.

Secrets in the Surf: Coastal Gothic, Megalophobia and Maritime Ghosts

Stepping into her author alter ego, Raven Starfenne, she takes us on a dark voyage along Western Australia’s treacherous "Shipwreck Coast." Beyond the postcard summer beaches and blinding sunshine lies a cold, wintery coastal gothic landscape, a world of ink black waters, isolated seaside towns and ancient maritime tragedy.

The Ancient Hollows: Ozark Superstition and Mountain Magic with Matt Ankney
The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights. Tonight on Slightly Out of Frame, we step across the threshold into an ancient, watchful landscape steeped in memory. We are joined by photographer, writer, digital creator, and wilderness guide Matt Ankney for a journey into the deep hollows of the Ozarks. Together, we explore the thin, blurry line where mountain superstitions, old-world religion, and traditional hill magic bleed into one another. Matt shares his perspective as both a storyteller and a guide—looking closely at how rugged topography holding centuries of secrets acts as a literal pipeline for creative inspiration, and how the unseen entities lurking in isolated woods infiltrate the very structure of a story.

The Eternal Threshold: The Flame and the Alchemy of Margot Day
The shift is open. Pour yourself something warm and dim the lights. Tonight on Slightly Out of Frame, we travel across geographic and spiritual boundaries to explore the thin lines between historical tragedy, transformation and modern audio magic. We begin the shift in Switzerland, journeying to the Alpine town of Glarus to look into the heartbreaking history of Anna Göldi, wrongfully executed in 1782 as the last "witch" in Europe. We trace her story from the abuse of patriarchal power to the eternal, symbolic memorial flame that still burns continuously outside the Glarus courthouse today. Then, we cross the threshold into a deep conversation with the legendary Margot Day, front person of the iconic 80s goth band Plague and the driving force behind Metamorph. We explore what it means to craft multi-layered musical incantations and whether a song can function as a literal spell thrown out into the world.
