Static Apparitions- Ghost Dog

Here is another album write up.

Ghost Dog is the fourth Static Apparitions album.

The cover is a painting by DNA Girl that she collaged with some other art.

1. Euphoric Electrons - Guitar and tone explorations with tinkling percussion.

2. Ghost Dog - The opening sound is an Aztec Death Whistle being blown out into the expanse of Echo Bridge. To me it is a glorious haunting sound.

The dog samples come from a public domain horror movie. There is a dialogue sample from a different public domain horror movie, The House on Haunted Hill. 

We can never have enough Vincent Price in our wall of sound.

3. Transdimensional Conversation - Ever find yourself on a virtual meeting where the audio goes wrong? We thought why not explore that idea. We caused a virtual meeting to feedback. Also featuring some distorted guitar crazed sounds. 

4. Enigma Beach - The bulk of this track was recorded on a winter night on Revere Beach in MA. Beaches save their greatest magic for winter nights.

5. Darling, the Only Ghoul in the House is You - Includes a sample from the incredibly fun spooky flick House on Haunted Hill. The original version of course. There's no topping Vincent Price.

6. Mia’s Lament - Featuring a guest appearance by Mia the cat on vocals. Cats will always cat and comment on what they want.

In this instance Mia complained that she wanted food & attention, thus her lament.

Static Apparitions is (Astro Al under another name):

Madame Inconnue (AKA DNA Girl): vocals, voice, guitar, percussion, mandolin, FX, reel to reel tape recorder, Woodrow 

Baron Vincent Von Lugosi (AKA Count Robot): Aztec death whistle, voice, weird sound generator, FX, microphones, monotron, samples, reel to reel tape recorder, waterphone, genometer

Guest appearance by Mia the cat

Recorded in Edinburgh Scotland, London England, Echo Bridge MA, Revere Beach MA, and Weirdfield MA 

Yes a few bits and pieces were recorded over seas while DNA Girl and I were traveling. I always try to capture interesting moments while we're traveling.

Improvised, edited, produced, and mastered by Static Apparitions 

So what's the difference between Astro Al and Static Apparitions?

Besides the name, there is a big difference. Do you hear it?

Perhaps not.

The difference comes from this, Static Apparitions features no lyrics and no understandable spoken word pieces. Yes, samples pop up and spoken word segments appear but only in distorted, soundscape format, were the spoken word bits are just sound forms with no meaning.
