Ghost Ensemble

Ghost Ensemble dedicates itself to long-term study of experimental music with a focus on new perceptual perspectives that explore the experience of listening. The musicians of Ghost Ensemble “use sound to seek an altered consciousness, from a meditative awareness to a look, perhaps, into a different dimension” (George Grella, The New York Classical Review). Since its inception in 2012, the group has performed in concert halls, churches, galleries, and chamber music venues across New York City, and explored outdoor soundscapes from the courtyards of Wall Street to the caves at Inwood Hill Park. In 2013 and 2014, Ghost Ensemble inaugurated the release of Pauline Oliveros’s Anthology of Text Scores with the composer at Eyebeam and was featured in the East Bank Music Series and Queens New Music Festival; the 2015-2016 season began with a double-header at Pioneer Works in Red Hook with the experimental gamelan group Lightbulb Ensemble. Ghost Ensemble has frequently collaborated with record label and concert producers Indexical, including a 2016 commissioning project culminating in an evening of premiere performances at Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center.
