Ghost#039: Ghostdrome - Brød og Cirkus
Runtime: 40 minutes 27 seconds
DOWNLOAD
In 2011, three men got together and drank a lot, smoked a lot, and played a lot of music, for the duration of a weekend. This album contains 40 of those minutes.
The music is improvisational, dreamy, at times loud, confused, at ease, stoned and a bit ritualistic. Best enjoyed under the influence.

The third in a series of improvisational jams, performed by Johan Heinsen, Frederik Højlund, and Christopher Aaby.
This release consists of two sessions, the first four tracks being more electronic in nature, and the last five being more electro-acoustic. It is very much a chill-out album, inviting the listener to relax and become lost in the music, forgetting the troubling realities of everyday life for 50 minutes or so.
Played and recorded in the Playgood studios.

Ghost#034: Kontrolorgan - Kingfisher Exile cdr
Runtime: 32 minutes 37 seconds
DOWNLOAD
This one took forever to finish and the result is a rich soundscape from a lurid suburban utopia. Resonance of satanic worship and ornothological static remembrance. Rapid wings. Guitar repetition and flickery vocal shards among swampy murmurs. Broken family escapism. Midnight bug hunting. Hidden spaces.

The second in a series of improvisational jams, performed by Johan Heinsen, Frederik Højlund, and Christopher Aaby.

Ghost#027: Grand Magnus and the II - Amorphopallus
Runtime: 67 minutes 33 seconds
DOWNLOAD
A rare coincidence of the world. Of beautiful places and strange places. Takes a little time to tune the radio in to Amorphophallus, but in the end it's there. As a journey through possible resemblance, airports, wild life, somewhere in Paris, the kebab store you pay a visit on your way home late at nite. The sun rising to remind you that you've turned everything upside down. Your body pretends sleep, finds the right position to suddenly become the right idea. We recommend good headphones and a stroll down the grass valley.

A noise-session which became an album. Originally recorded in 2007, but never released, we thought it was time to get it out to the hungry masses.

Description
-----------
These two sessions were recorded separately, weeks apart. The first 10 tracks are from the later session, and the last 8 are from the earlier one.
There was no real unifying theme to these sessions - they can be considered experiments in experimentation, in that they share the property of being highly improvisational.
In these sessions we have still been trying to find a good instrument setup, and there are major differences in the sounds of the two as a result. The style is also diverse, spanning from mellow to painful.
Ghost#021: Ego Ensemble - Sunday
Runtime: 22 minutes 33 minutes
DOWNLOAD
An adventure into the profound boredom of a hangover. Typical sunday beams, lazy thoughts, internal yelling, where, where, "where was I going yesterday?". Questions usually posed after a night in relation with humans behaving like animals. In the end, you stumbled backwards to your residence, and these memories consist of abrupt flashes fastwarding in your mind like a raging drum solo. Sunday.

This is a collection of improvised jam sessions between Randcore and Christopher Aaby. Everything was performed live and recorded, and the best sections were selected for recorded release.
With the two projects usually working exclusively in the digital domain on studio recordings, these jam sessions are a combination of that digital mode of work combined with the two artists’ backgrounds in drums and guitar, respectively.

Runtime: 32 minutes 46 seconds
DOWNLOAD
'Drifter' is the debut of Ultraneutralt Orkester - a duo consisting of Johan Heinsen (Kontrolorgan) and Rasmus Aaen. Situated within a somewhat rude and swampy soundscape they initiate an imaginary journey, that eventually fuse harsh vibes and ultra bliss. A wide open gate to a mythical inside - hideous yet entrancing. Like an over ripe peach or the botched rescue inherent in messianic talk. Heat violence / Rough Love.

This time, they expanded the line up even more. HC was somewhere else, but Sigurd, Graff and an old friend from Jutland, Jacob Bugge, came out and made everything wonderful! This release features a long jam, where the new members are introduced. Then three tracks follow, and especially the percussive elements are explored further. They hope you enjoy!

12. childhood dreams and delusions
In my mind, these songs tie into an urban theme, referencing the noise and man-made sounds of metropolitan surroundings. To some this is an environment full of life and activity, perhaps even more so than rural environments. To others, the city is a dead place of artificial intelligence and machine automatons. It is from within this dual space that the melodies, structures and sounds of the included songs take their inspiration.
Ghost#015: Kontrolorgan - Interruption Songs
Runtime: 29 minutes 17 seconds
DOWNLOAD
Interruption Songs is the second album from Kontrolorgan. It uses synths, bells, drums, electronics and singing to conjure dronescapes with psychedelic undercurrents, thus building on the outline already present in Kontrolorgan's earlier work. Interruption Songs is, however, a more structured entity than previous releases. Some parts are improvised while others are tightly sequenced. Most lie somewhere in between while exploring themes concerning imagination and the suspension of functional time in artistic rituals. Almost all tracks feature manipulated samples from field recordings originally recorded by Christopher Aaby and Frederik Højlund. Christian Davidsen plays cymbals on 'Mythology Loops'. Rasmus Aaen plays upright bass on 'Mythology Loops' and 'Disappearance Song'.
Tracklist:
01. Anachronism
02. Smoke I / Atlas Ripple
03. Smoke II / Rivers
04. Mythology Loops
05. All Vulpine Kings

This is a 1 ½ hour trip to a virtual museum of modern sound. We take the risk of saying nothing at the melting point of human ears, where sound can be made into music, since music is nothing but a human invention. Rethink this invention as much as you feel. That is what you can do for this release.

"Algorithmic Composition" explores the relationship between man and machine through musical compositions.
All of the tracks here were created entirely or partially through algorithmic means, that is - through computer applications that Christopher Aaby either made or configured to output sound or notation.
