Ghost Circus

About Me

A chance meeting of artists in 2004 on an internet message board brought together Ronald Wahle of the Netherlands with Chris Brown of Tennessee. What spawned from that meeting is the highly evolved progressive rock duo, Ghost Circus. While the artists reside on different continents with an ocean between them, their collective artistic spirit transcends the distance. Mixing cultural differences and artistic influences with their talent, Ghost Circus creates music that is intrinsically universal, gracefully intimate, and instantly endearing.
Cycles
Parallel life experience within different cultures results in an exploration into the human condition for this ambitious duo. The album Cycles provides a detailed look at modern society as well as personal introspective struggles while maintaining an intricate, detailed composition that is thoroughly enjoyable. Heres what reviewers are saying:
This is a band that plays with full devotion/dedication. You can simply hear they're having fun making music together, despite the fact that theres an ocean between them. We hope they keep on going for many years creating this kind of attractive progressive rock. Way to go!

Time for an update! Yes, it's been a bit quiet but that's because we're in the middle of recording album No 2. I know this still sounds a bit vague because some artists take 5 year to reco...
