Ghost Voltage album release day
Download from Bandcamp
The Ghost Voltage album is released today.
I'm proud of this work and grateful to my collaborators for their intense commitment to the material. At times the experience felt less like a recording session than a five-day seance. I've lived with these recordings for six months now and am relieved and excited to finally share them. We look forward to performing the work for you, as well as presenting the exhibition and accompanying book on October 4th at Wexford Arts Centre.
