Ghost Mind

Pete Robson’s piano/horns and Stuart Wilding on percussion. This is combined with a background of found sounds gathered from aroundthe planet. Essentially, Ghost Mind is a three-person duo, the third member being the titular “Ghost”.
The concept of Ghost Mind was devised while the members were playing together with the Cheltenham Improvisers Orchestra. The idea was to carry on that experimental, improvised sound with an added backtrack – the Ghost – in a more compact duo replacing the Orchestra and creating a soundscape with a space difficult to create in a larger group. Having formed in 2014, the band, based in Cheltenham and London, have played across the UK and recently returned from a tour of Germany where they also collaborated with Gottingen trio, Brainville Desperados. Further collaborations with the likes of Rothko, Emi Watanabe, BeiBei Wang, Saltings, Lee Boyd Allotson, Chris Cundy and a long list of poets and performers has seen Ghost Mind establish themselves as a unique and completely indescribable force on tour. In 2017 they collaborated with Johny Brown (Band of Holy Joy) and actor Tam Dean Burn, adding an hour long improvised soundscape to Browns adaptation of the Bill Drummond play, “Bill Drummond is Dead” live on the radio for Resonance FM.

In his own words,

“I am Irish, originally from rural Co Tyrone, but I’m also from industrial Sheffield and from London and I play electric and acoustic guitar. My dialogue with the guitar, its history, science, and the wider possibilities of its use as a sound source, has accompanied most of my life.”
“The first exposure to free improvisation, aged 23, one Sunday evening in March 1986, changed my life forever. Derek Bailey and Han Bennink performing together.”
“That was the source of a decision to commit to playing this music solely. I have kept to that, not abandoning conventional techniques, but augmenting or replacing them with anything that might ‘supply the answers to the questions’ (to misquote Derek’s memorable phrase), since.”
