With this completion of the second movement of The Haunted Mansion trilogy, Canadian writer Matt Neufeld has added a mysterious work which can be played as a movement of the trilogy or as an evocative stand-alone piece.  In this work, the listener is taken to a musical space reminiscent of a long, dark hallway hung with ornately framed portraits in which images flicker in and out.  Unusual instrumentation including optional bowed vibraphone, high-register baritone saxophone, and a fair amount of dissonance help create the mood of mystery present in “Empty Portraits”.
