Phill Niblock
Ghosts And Others

Album US 1999 on Sedimental label
Electronic (Field Recording)

This sound piece (sound collage, sound art work, found sound work) uses materials recorded in Stanley Bay, Hong Kong in 1978; Hungary in 1985; and on various trains - to and from Hartford Connecticut, and from Stockholm to Copenhagen. The piece was constructed in the ProTools environment using a Macintosh computer. It's not microtonal. It's not music, it's certainly not "my" music, it has noting to do with the music talked about in this interview, or the rather monolithic body of music which is my historic (hysterical?) work. Why include it as a CD to accompagny this article? Well, it xas ready when we did the interview. It is made up of material that I always had the intention to use. It was a good use of ProTools computer sound editing software. It sounds good. It's 59 minutes long. It should be played very LOUD, with a mite of extra bass. If the neighbors complain, and they live two miles away, it's about the right level. - Phill Niblock Published with N D 22 in association with Sedimental PO Box 4144, Austin, Texas 78765 http://www.nd.org "Ghosts And Others" was originally intended to be packaged with issue #22 of N D magazine to coincide with an interview with Phill Niblock conducted in 1998. Some copies were available separately as the magazine didn't come out. The CD and (updated) interview were eventually included and published in issue no. 4 of FO A RM magazine in 2005.
