Halloween, my favorite holiday, seems like the perfect day to introduce the brand new Ghostwalk album, Archive. We just released it this month and put considerable time in to perfecting every last detail. Enjoy!
My favorite track:
This weekend we released a song called Transcendence. This song is a particular favorite of mine as a cellist. Because of the quiet nature of the first half of the song, I was able to pull in a lot of fun techniques, such as ponticello (playing close to the bridge) and some orchestral style atmospheric parts. These techniques, which are staples of classical playing, are normally difficult to impossible to use in rock songs because they get lost in the mix. They rely on small details to give their full effect, which generally isn't the focus of rock music. I took my opportunity in this particular song to explore how these techniques could add to the genre of music we are creating in Don't Panic.
