Last week I got the wonderful Ghost Trance Septet together again at Werkplaats Walter in Brussels to record a wide array of Anthony Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music! Diving deep into this music with such a group of players, each showing great dedication, openness and curiosity to explore Braxton's vast and beautifully complex musical universe is an incredibly rewarding experience. Thanks also to Nicolas Rombouts for the very skilful recording and general positive vibes during this intense recording process!
To lift the veil on what will be on the album, we recorded:
Composition 193 (1st species GTM)
Composition 255 (2nd species GTM)
Composition 264 (3rd species GTM)
Composition 358 (accelerator whip GTM)
The album will be released as a double LP on El Negocito Records, more details on the release will follow.
