Yan White: Sound

ghOst produced a couple of 6-minute tracks for Otaku magazine’s ‘Kaidan’ issue. These are entitled ‘jitenshi-kaze’ (bicycle/wind) and ‘amatsu-kaidan’ (celestial ghost).

Otaku magazine is really beautifully presented and researched, and follows a different theme for each issue, in this case ‘kaidan’, japanese traditional ghost stories. Otaku manages a great balance between genre history, artist contributions and manga comic book content (not to mention the awesome cover cd). I recommend getting hold of a copy quick!

ghOst

ghOst is a vehicle for experimental electronic music in the ambient/drone/noise/subsonic field. Influenced by themes of the celestial and ethereal, other-worldly soundscapes are explored within a narrative framework.

The dvd was produced for use as a projection backdrop at ghOst laptop sets I was doing at The Pool Bar and for a slot at Immersion experimental electronica festival at The Flea Pit.

Most of the video was shot on a 2mp camera phone (at 320×240) and edited in Premiere. The footage is closeups of various random tv programmes with scanlines and interference forming part of the final image.
