"Ghost System" is a homage to Earle Brown's 1954 masterpiece "Folio And Four Systems". It was recored while Simon Balestrazzi (T.A.C., Candor Chasma, Daimon, Hidden Reverse, Dream Weapon Ritual, Sarang and more) was stuck in his old and empty family house in the foggy surroundings of Parma. He planned work on a series of background compositions related to time and memories, when Brown's preface to the score sprang to mind.

This new album presents Balestrazzi's own heretical take on indeterminacy, bringing to an extreme the process in a twisted and eccentric way. Instead of following the graphic score, this was used as a blueprint to obtain random selections, values, frequency ranges, etc. Some sections from existing recordings of "Four Systems" were excerpted and processed; from extreme time stretching to the convolution of the samples with a random selection of his own sounds (tsymbaly, gongs, amplified objects). The final 7-part composition is enriched by a 15-year collection of field recordings; its haunted atmospheres and foggy droning soundscapes resonating as if coming from a well-hidden otherworldly universe.

Mastered by Yvan Battaglia (Carnera, LCHM). Ltd x 200 copies in a gatefold cardboard sleeve with booklet.
