The Ghosts Project

About Me

Our CDs are now available on CDBaby! Just cut and paste http://cdbaby.com/cd/ghostsproject2 into your browser because I'm a little too incompetent to make links!
The Ghosts Project is an improvised music ensemble featuring vocal sensation Minka Wiltz, composer/violinist Paul Mercer (of The Changelings, Brass Knuckle Surfer, Dp3 and The Sweet Meat Love and Holy Cult,) percussionist Davis Petterson (of Dp3, Strezo, Khat and Smoking Section) and bassist and programmer Matt Mansfield (of KingRat, Piper St Sound and Dp3). It is an effort to evoke emotional atmospheres through improvisation on a wide variety of instruments. The style of music combines elements of western classical music, hindustani, various folk styles, dub and other influences. The debut recording, a live radio broadcast recorded June 30, 2006, is available for purchase, along with an instrumental EP titled "Flaming Golden Boar". Their new album, "Undergrowth" (excerpts featured above) is also soon to be available on i tunes and many other places online. Check out the tracks above!
