Ghostigital


Cannibal in Tuxedo (internal/external), 2010



Multi-channel audio work encoded for 47 channel The Morning Line Sound System

Commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary

For those new to the sonic world of Ghostigital, you should know that there doesn’t seem to be any floor plan to the music, even though there is architecture. It’s best you just relax, release preconception, don’t think or analyze too much. Here’s an idea: let us do the analyzing so the thoughts don’t get in the way of your listening experience. Know the music will come to you the way it wants to; you are not in control.


Ghostitigal, founded 2003, is the musical work of Einar Örn Benediktsson (*1962 in Reykjavík) and Curver (*1976). The duo is notorious for its genre-mix of abstract hip-hop, industrial, noise-electronica and jazz.
