The 2nd Imaginary Symphony For Cloudmaking is a story album by The Music Tapes, consisting of the story of a boy named Nigh (seemingly named after Jeff Nigh Mangum), who lives with his blind grandmother.
The album also features instrumentation by Julian Koster to back the spoken word recording by Brian Dewan. It is yet to be mass released [1] but has actually been finished and put through two self-released CD-R circulations, and played on WNYC's Spinning on Air. The last copy to sell on Ebay went for over $125. Julian has said that "an official release shall be arranged for, but it's not yet as, in truth, I've been too wrapped up in making new things."
Koster's podcast The Orbiting Human Circus of the Air announced in May 2017 that they would be releasing a four-part special beginning on May 10, 2017 titled "The 2nd Imaginary Symphony," which has been described as "A story about one who disappeared, one who ran away, and the secret of how clouds are born." Whether this is related to the album, or is perhaps the album itself finally seeing wide release, remains unclear.
Note: On most versions of the album available on the internet the whole album is a single track.
