Ampyre - Hopeful Ghosts

By george bowles on May 22, 2016 4:32 am

working on a new album with my Ampyre project, a collaboration between mimi wallman on live looped vocals and myself on guitar and other instruments. we have had a couple shows now and have a couple of releases at our bandcamp: http://ampyre.bandcamp.com check 'em out! we have a couple of live shows coming up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNXnyubgKDQ is a live video. this was just recorded last sunday and i have been producing 3 tracks from the session... this is the wrap up track at the end of the session. really like how it turned out, pretty weird too.

I appreciate any spreading of the word on this, people have been very responsive to this stuff! live it is a bit more theatrical as mimi does some cool random performance elements that involve butoh training. one of my main projects lately.

I like the sound of this project.  The recording is more hifi sounding too than usual?  The vocals work well with the noise.

yeah, this is more hifi than i usually do because it isn't all mics like a lot of my stuff is... got some direct from board into recording device sounds. yeah mimi's voice is amazing too that helps quite a bit!

I also went on a butoh vid binge yesterday as I hadn't heard of it before.  I really dig the traditional form.
