FRIEDRICH JÜRGENSON (1903 – 1987) Though he worked as a painter and film director, Friedrich Jürgenson is best known as the pioneer of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). An initial field recording of local birdsongs, fueled by a passion for ornithology, led him to a 28-year study of what he believed were spirits communicating with us through sound recording technologies. He continued his work searching the origins of his voices that he believed to be deriven from the hypothetical afterlife until his death in Sweden in 1987.
