The Secret Music of Lily Dale
***UPDATE: April 2019***
I have been in the hospital ICU, and spent March recovering from quite a harrowing medical ordeal. Read the full tale in UPDATE #17. Due to this fact, I have decided to extend this fundraiser to MAY 5.
Your support means the world to me right now. I am eager to get things back in action.
So please donate now to get onboard and reserve your collectors copy of "The Secret Music of Lily Dale!"***
Now that I am nearing manufacturing stages, and have more of an idea of budget, I am happy to say that everyone who has donated $40 or more to this campaign will be receiving a gorgeous physical "The Secret Music of Lily Dale " hard-back book (autographed) with music CD of the album, plus my unreleased audio commentary and interviews! (This includes US shipping. Overseas donors will be responsible for shipping costs.)
If you donated less than $40, you will receive the full digital version of the album and full color PDF of the book.
And all of you will be named in the album as my “Guardian Spirits.” (You can add to a previous donation to reach $40 or more if you prefer the physical goods.)
***And everyone will be entered to win one-of-a-kind Lily Dale spirit collectibles. There will be two final random winners when the campaign ends.
NOTE: If you'd rather donate to me directly and bypass a fundraiser site that takes a cut of the money, please email me at: suspect (at) jilltracy dot com and I will arrange that for you. Thank You! xox

Composer and sonic archeologist Jill Tracy has begun an unprecedented project—a musical excavation of mysterious Lily Dale, the famed private town of mediums and Spiritualists in upstate New York. She is recording her singular piano music channeled at night inside the original 1883 auditorium, site of séances and spirit communication services for over a century. She has captured field recordings from the mystical Leolyn Woods to chilling nighttime rainstorms to create an authentic, never-before-heard sonic journey. Donate and get a rare glimpse into this strange, little town that talks to the dead...
“Jill Tracy is utterly intriguing. She transports you into a magical world solely of her creation.”

***UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2019***
The recordings are all finished! I have been in the San Francisco studio of renowned mastering engineer Gary Hobish to assemble the album from the hours of piano music and field recordings I captured in Lily Dale. This has been a long process as there is so much of it I love—making the final selections for the album is difficult. This music has cast a profound spell over me and I cannot stop listening to it.
Of course, as a donor you will get ALL the bonus music that does not make it on the album too! Plus your name in the credits as a Guardian Spirit.
So, it's still a perfect time for you to donate to support my work finishing the album, (which will come in a gorgeous storybook form) and of course you'll be the first to receive it!
During my most recent trip in August 2018, I did a really fun video interview at the site of the legendary Fox Sisters Cottage with Lily Dale Medium Celeste Elliot. Watch it at THIS LINK!
Thank YOU immensely for helping fund my initial trips and materials, enabling this project to even exist. I am honored by your level of trust in my work—and to the Lily Dale Assembly for inviting me to make this project happen. Such a rare opportunity!
I received a beautiful letter from the President of Lily Dale, and love having the enthusiasm and support of the community. Plus some donations from members of the Board.
Read the recent interview "A Glimpse Beyond the Veil: Jill Tracy Reveals The Secret Music of Lily Dale" in Haute Macabre! I discuss many behind-the -scenes tales and stories for the first time, hidden frequencies, spirit phenomena, my beliefs, and process unearthing music in unusual locations. This piece will give you much new insight on the project. So proud of how it came out. Excited for you to read it! Here is the LINK.
BIG NEWS! I have partnered with Lily Dale’s Marion H. Skidmore Library (which houses the largest collection of Spiritualist books in the world) to offer you a chance to win unique historical Lily Dale items drawn from their collections— awarded in random drawings to my campaign backers! A portion of proceeds from album sales will go to help the Marion H. Skidmore Library, and to preserve and house these rare books for years to come.
Every donation makes you automatically eligible for a chance to win.

What's it like inside this peculiar place called Lily Dale?
I have been fascinated with Lily Dale for years, and beyond thrilled to have been invited to research, live amongst the mediums, and compose music on the piano inside the 1883 grand auditorium (pictured below)— the site of many poignant spiritualist gatherings, spirit communication services, and lectures. Susan B. Anthony spoke during the Women's Suffrage Movement. Harry Houdini walked these grounds. (Did you know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a devoted Spiritualist? Mae West too.)
It's an honor and inspiration to be blessed with this opportunity, but I need your help! Plus the thought of taking you along on the journey makes it even more alluring.
Come with me for a backstage pass beyond the veil.
Rare and strange discoveries await us both...
My invitation came unexpectedly (like most magical things do) so I am scrambling to prepare. I want to inhabit Lily Dale during its off-season, with no visitors, to experience the town authentically. And be able to work at the piano alone in the auditorium, wander and conduct field recordings in the mystical Leolyn Woods (a sight of supposed strong spirit activity.)
I will be living in the home of an actual medium on the lake!
I cannot bring a crew with me, so I must be completely self-contained with video, recording gear, software, and accessories. I must buy things. I have travel expenses. This is why I need your support! To show my appreciation, I'll send you secret behind-the-scenes photos, odd historical tales from the archives, videos, interviews, updates, recordings, and musical works in progress.
You'll peer into the entire process and accompany me on my explorations...
Details:
What is Lily Dale?
Lily Dale is a private village on small, placid Cassadaga Lake founded when the Spiritualist movement, began in 1848 in central New York State.
In the middle of nowhere, mediums, some of them fourth or fifth generation, live in quaint clapboard houses. The village, on 167 wooded acres, has about 100 year-round residents— ALL of them Mediums and Spiritualists. This means a belief that spirits are able to communicate with the living by agency of a medium. ... Adherents of spiritualistic movements believe that the spirits of the dead survive mortal life, and that sentient beings from spiritual worlds can and do communicate with the living.
Definitions from the National Spiritualist Association of Churches:
A Medium is one whose organism is sensitive to vibrations from the spirit world and through whose instrumentality, intelligences in that world are able to convey messages and produce the phenomena of Spiritualism. (1914)
Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy and Religion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated fact of communication, by means of mediumship, with those who live in the Spirit World. (1919)
What will you do there? And why?
My work has always been about honoring the Mystery, the hidden worlds that lurk all around us. My piano is my portal. Frequencies, resonant tones, music, and sound have long been used in psychic communication. Music (which is merely a collection of selected frequencies) is a bridge to realms we may never fully comprehend or master— but they surround us. I’m fascinated with what I call “sonic residue,” echoes, and impressions that remain in environments, buildings and objects. Much like a ghost. For me, uncovering the hidden music within these spaces is the closest thing to time travel or channeling. The thought of being alone at the grand piano in the 1883 Lily Dale auditorium at night, unearthing music on the instrument played during actual spiritualism services and séances is chilling. I plan to set up a series of microphones to capture the ambience, the room— the aural energy of being inside this place is as intense as the music I uncover.
And I will share it all with you for donating!
I will be working with the great folks at Lily Dale’s Marion H. Skidmore Library, which houses the largest collection of Spiritualist books in the world. They have been saving rare 1800s Spiritualist sheet music and audio-related materials for me for over a year! Much never-before-seen. So I will be spending a lot of time in the stacks.I plan to conduct interviews with historians and those who communicate with the dead—and even experience readings myself from the mediums, and attend mediumship workshops.
I approach this project as neither a believer nor non-believer, but open in expanding my mind to possibility. I do believe in other realms and energies far beyond human comprehension. There is so much we don't know.
Why should I donate?
Your donations make this project exist. The closer I can get to the goal and beyond means I get more accomplished during my stays in Lily Dale to create new art, music, and content I am proud to share with you.
NOTE: I am paid NO money for these research trips, make no other income during the time invested — and still responsible for my monthly bills and living expenses during my travels. It’s a tough constant slog for artists and researchers— countless hours unpaid, but the process is the most vital part of the creation!
Knowing you value my work and efforts means the world to me.
Budget includes separate 2017 and 2018 trips to Lily Dale —airfare, transportation, lodging, workshop fees, meetings, food, daily expenses.
Cost of audio/video gear, microphones, cases, accessories, hard drives, SD cards, batteries, etc. Post-production: audio/video editing software, plug-ins, computer upgrades, monitors, lighting, additional mastering, etc.
Please remember that this equipment is not "one-use only," but an investment enabling me to continue and expand my work ongoing. My future goal would be to use this material to finally launch my web series of strange, sonic explorations, which could also be edited into a podcast with interviews and stories, as well as releasing the Lily Dale music! This experience could also become a memoir, lecture/ live concert event. Ahhh, think of all the spellbinding possibilities!
Your contribution is the launchpad.
I am driven to do this project now, and celebrate these enchanting, hidden gems while they still exist. Lily Dale is such a place. There is belief and beauty here, a welcome respite from the current state of much of the world. It’s important to acknowledge this.
I embark on this project with the utmost respect.
I hope you will come with me...

What an unbelievable month. Straight from the hospital ICU—to playing with Bauhaus!
Yes—I have been in critical condition in the hospital. Almost died, but now feel like a Phoenix risen from the ashes— and was able to return to playing my final dates in the Peter Murphy residency, as well as the Bauhaus tour. It is complete bliss on a level I have never known. I guess it takes truly escaping death to appreciate the fragile privilege of being alive.
Working on the Lily Dale project now has an even deeper meaning for me!! Intense to say the least.
Here’s the shocking story of why I was mysteriously absent for my initial Mar 10 show with Peter Murphy (as well as being MIA from the internet.) I ended up being taken away in an ambulance, and spent most of the week semi-conscious in the hospital Intensive Care Unit. This all happened so suddenly and horribly— and had to do with my near-fatal reaction to a medicine completely misprescribed to me weeks ago. I had NO idea or symptoms until the very end, when the medicine was causing my body to shut down.
My dear friend arrived at my apartment March 10 at 5pm to help me load my gear to The Chapel, and found me collapsed and convulsing on the floor (in black sequins, no less.) The ICU doctors said if she had not found me in time, I would have gone into a coma, and quite possibly died.
So in an odd way, I feel like Peter Murphy helped save my life.
If the show had not been planned for that night, and Michele did not arrive at 5pm, I would have not survived. The timing was truly a blessing.
I woke up that morning feeling fine, excited for the show, and later as I was getting dressed, I suddenly felt dizzy, which progressed into vertigo, I suddenly felt my limbs twitching and fell to the floor.
The ambulance drivers whisked me off in black sequins, slipping out of consciousness at the time, it was a total Joan Crawford— and I daresay THIS will forever be my quintessential Goth Diva moment.
Please read the entire story on my Facebook page (Jill Tracy Music Official) starting with my March 21 entry. I go into much more detail, and I must say this tale is fascinating, and parts of it rather comical. (Joan would be proud!)
It has been so healing to reconnect with my dear friend David J (Bauhaus) and hear him play bass on those classic tunes! Performing with Peter Murphy, and his amazing band has been the best medicine of all!
And there’s MORE!! please join me with Bauhaus in SANTA ANA, CA April 2!
In the midst of all THIS, I thank you for your ongoing support and donations, I am behind in sending some of you personal thank-you notes, which I will get to very soon!
I have decided to EXTEND the fundraiser until MAY 5th. I had been planning to share many more Lily Dale tales, contest, and photos, and gear up for a fun, final countdown— but that could not happen due to my being unconscious in the hospital, and later recovery.
Your donations have especially been helpful now, since I have lost much income and in a difficult financial situation after being in the hospital and having to cancel all shows and work. You support is helping me immensely, and I would rather give you my new music and creations, instead of just asking for money to help me stay afloat.
I am eager to return to the studio with engineer Gary Hobish— we are SO CLOSE now to being completely finished with “The Secret Music of Lily Dale!” My next mission will be to finish writing and designing the accompanying hard back book.
NOTE: If you have donated $40, you will automatically getting the physical CD and book. (This includes U.S. shipping only. International shipping will be extra.)
You are always welcome to increase your original donation to equal $40.
Any donation under $40 will receive the digital version of the music album and pdf book.
All donors names will be credited as my “Guardian Spirits.”
I am so blessed to be feeling well again, and know for a fact that my OWN Guardian Spirit was definitely watching over me….
Peter Murphy even said to me that "Miracles are the threads that hold the Universe."
