***Oracle*** is an EP by American [drone metal](/source/Drone_metal) band [Sunn O)))](/source/Sunn_O)))). The track "Orakalum" was recorded as part of a collaboration between the band and sculptor/installation artist [Banks Violette](/source/Banks_Violette) for an exhibit at London's [Maureen Paley](/source/Maureen_Paley) gallery. The exhibit took place in two rooms: one with a black stage where the band recorded "Orakulum" with Attila Csihar locked inside a white coffin, and one with a white replica of the band's stage set up (including amps and guitars) cast out of salt and resin with a destroyed black coffin. The audience was locked outside for the performance and let inside after the band left "to generate a feeling of absence, loss and a phantom of what was."[2][3][4]
