**Stuart Wheeler** (b. 1991) and **Jesse Quebbeman-Turley** (b. 1991) present their renditions of the fictional ballades composed by Guillaume De Machaut (c. 1300-1377) and experimentally translated from medieval French into English by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). Their interpretations remind that the past is not a place, but a question: who makes this music? Not in the form of an icon, but of a phantasm.
