bettoghuser The Album Dancing Ghosts is a wonderful mysterious Synth experience!

Each Track has its own interesting Soundscape with a fantastic story hidden
in it, that is waiting to be explored!

It's Awesome! :)

Favorite track: Red Giant.

Iker GS If I had to choose music for a science documentary, this album would be there.
There's something intellectually stimulating here, as if the sounds were a representation of maths.
With some influences from prog-rock, this electronic work is a very satisfying journey.

about

DANCING GHOSTS, cosmic jets shaped by intergalactic winds, or playful spirits? DANCING GHOSTS by ACTIVE DARK FILAMENT features nine original electronic compositions which move from mellow to metallic, and everything in-between.

DANCING GHOSTS PART I starts with a circular sequence seemingly asking a question, and matched with funky, percussive sounds. Overlain by a sonorous melody and discordant long tones, it eventually morphs into the Dancing Ghost “theme”.

LAKE OF THE SPIDERS is an austere, meditative impression of Spider Lake on Vancouver Island. Created using emulations of the Buchla Easel and Solina string synthesizer.

TWILIGHT IN THE BORDERLANDS. A “call to arms” leads into a haunting, orchestral piece with a variety of solo timbres, some influenced by Zawinul. Are the Borderlands physical or illusions of the mind? You decide.

CONJUNCTION OF THE SPIRITS. Here the meaning of conjunction is “occurrence together in time or space”. Far-off sounds and sonorities build to a final climax and are resolved by a reverberant final guitar solo.

DANCING GHOSTS PART II revisits the Dancing Ghosts “theme” but is immediately followed by a frantic-sounding melody and solo eventually devolving into a chromatic series of chords over a crazed arpeggiator pattern.

BENEATH THE SURFACE liquid-sounding patterns come and go in this extended, translucent piece. The “plucking” sounds were an attempt to emulate sounds found in the piece “Georg Trakl” by Klaus Schulze. Not wholly successful, but that’s the way it goes…

I, J, and K. A composition written for the mathematical entities “i”, “j” and “k”, the “basic quaternions”. Hey, why not? Inspired originally by Bach’s “Contrapunctus I”

RED GIANT Plaintive, textured patterns wind their way to a interlude before crashing back to a bombastic conclusion.

DANCING GHOSTS PART III A jazz-tinged solo over an unusual time signature, with a return to the final Dancing Ghosts “theme”.

Active Dark Filament Vancouver, British Columbia

Active dark filament: Immense streams of plasma suspended above the sun slowly evolving and undergoing cycles of destruction and rebirth. From Earth, they appear as regions of metamorphosis on the otherwise placid surface of the sun.
The music of Active Dark Filament is in the same spirit, exploring melodies and themes which coalesce gradually and evolve over a bed of electronic rhythms. ... more

Always glad to find stuff like this -- new takes on classic kraut/kosmische vibes -- out here in the Ether. I'd be happy to have this one accompany any psychonautic jaunt I took. Fav track of the moment is "Back to Autobahn" which is more like the precocious nephew of Neu! than Kraftwerk and is all the better for it. Ether Diver
