Band Members: This Ghost is - Ant.....he likes to think of himself as a sound artist/manipulator/musician....what he really is.....is unclear=================================================Ant still uses fairly poor quality programming tools, a Microkorg, an old Casiotone, an Organ, tons of VST’s, Effects pedals, Field Recordings and more and more frequently a Guitar.=================================================Ant is slowly building a better set-up......Stray Ghost rarely performs live, this is due in equal parts to the difficulty in transporting equipment, the lack of promoters offering me gigs and the difficulty in reproducing my stuff live on my own.=================================================If I do perform live it will either be alone as Stray GhostorWith two of my close friends under the name "Nephila"Jacob Brant - Bass Lord Jamie "G" aka- G-sus - Lord of the Drums================================================ Nephila is slowly going to become its own thing, with its own myspace and releases etc....Nephila is FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR heavier than Stray Ghost.

Sounds Like: Your Days. Your Nights. Your silences, Your sounds, Your pauses and gaps. Your time ASLEEP. Possibly even your time awake, Maybe your somber switch turned ON. Maybe your lights turned OFF. Laying UP, standing DOWN, settling for the place that you know wouldnt be necessary to anyone else. The HOPES you know are HOPELESS Stray Ghost sounds like GHOSTS. GHOSTS at your windows and doors, GHOSTS laying on your floors. GHOSTS of STATIC.
