Gorgeous … the most arresting thing about Rewild is the way it challenges our perception of time … simply getting lost in the serene, slowly unfolding shapes articulated by the ensemble … lingering, unspooling and evading time while being flush with uncertainty ... the confluence of the various elements alternately between dizzying, hypnotic, and ominous … suggesting an eternal process that we’ve just dropped into for 50 minutes.” 

Peter Margasak, Bandcamp Daily: The Best Contemporary Classical Music on Bandcamp, October 2024


Very fine ensemble playing — excellent listening to one another … cloudy, mysterious and dark … Beckettian in its slow spread … a group to keep an eye on.” 

Brian Olewnick, Just Outside


Beautifully performed and recorded … keeping you in the present … a body-felt sound mass … a multifaceted texture that evokes the primeval.” 

Meg Wilhoite, Meg's New Music Blog


Prodigious … considerable dramatic heft … a thrilling listen … well-crafted and eloquent.” 

Christian Carey, Sequenza21


Wonderful … serene, rippling waves … stirring, ominous surges of sound … both exhilarating and a bit scary … thrums, throbs, and glides with surging and ebbing density.” 

Peter Margasak, Bandcamp Daily: The Best Contemporary Classical Albums of 2018

2024 YEAR-END APPEAL

Ghost Ensemble needs your help! As a small, artist-run nonprofit, Ghost Ensemble relies on the generous support of our community for all of our activities. While taking on ambitious, experimental collaborative projects on a very low budget, we work hard to ensure that composers and performers are paid fairly for their work. Your support makes this possible. 

If you’re able, please consider a tax-deductible donation of any size to support our work in the current season. Ghost Ensemble is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and every contribution makes a difference as we seek to raise $15,000 by year's end.
