Album description

‘Ghosts’ is an album about distance and loss. 

‘Ghosts’ was written while I was away from home, working in a foreign country. A great distance separated me from the two people who matter the most and inevitably that sense of loss is felt throughout the album.

This album is a song cycle that begins with ‘Shoreline’, a song about remaining hopeful while watching all that matters fade into the distance and ends with ‘Without Strings’, about reuniting and trying to recapture the past.

While I was away I spent what little free time I had playing guitar or one of the pianos that were available and  documenting my thoughts, feelings, and emotions.  Eventually, I amassed a large collection of ideas and song snippets and using my laptop began to form the ideas in to songs.

Upon my return home I had completed writing and had 12 songs that were ready to move to the next phase of the process.  After deciding which tracks best told the story I wanted to tell, I began to work on finalizing arrangements and instrumentation.

I wanted this album to feel more 'raw' than my previous albums.  I only wanted to use 'real' instruments, guitars, piano, organs, strings etc.  However, as the songs evolved, more electronic bits crept in to help fill out the sound.

Enjoy!

Das Album vermittelt eine sehr nachdenkliche, bisweilen melancholische Stimmung. Leider sind die Melodien oft sehr einfach gehalten, dafür aber gut arrangiert. Man hört auch, daß viele Instrumente echt eingespielt sind und nicht dem Computer entstammen. Allerdings könnte die Aufnahme gelegentlich besser sein. Insgesamt ist nur wenig Dynamik vorhanden, was (trotz häufiger Variationen) ein etwas monotones Klangbild hinterläßt.

Das Album eignet sich wohl hervorragend für einen depressiven Tag im Bett, nachdem man jemanden liebes verloren hat. Dies wird vom Cover auch noch sehr passend illustriert.
