about

“Ghosts of Electricity” is a soundscapes/ambient/hauntronica/drone collaboration between ex-pat Australian musician Michael Plater (solo artist, Northern Lighthouse Board, Cornish Wreckers), now based in Cornwall, and fellow Australian experimental musician Dean Richards (who played in the seminal late 70s Australian post-punk electronic acts Whirlywirld and Equal Local, and now releases music under the “Disturbed Earth” moniker). “Field Recordings” is a compilation of their work together so far. It’s an aural exploration of landscape and memory, inspired by the myths, folklore, legends, and countryside around their homes in Guildford, Victoria and Bodmin, Cornwall.

All the tracks have been remastered by U.K experimental musician/producer Mark Beazley (Rothko), and the album also features contributions from Portuguese pianist Jaime Oliveira and Italian violinist Massimiliano Gallo. The release is out now via the Cornwall label Dub Cthonic.

"This compilation of collaborative pieces from Michael Plater and Dean Richards is an eye-opener. As the duo explores a fertile, emotion-rich sonic palette, glassine landscapes teem with possibilities. Plater and Richards weave drama throughout these exploratory soundscapes that open up new pathways into different worlds. Resonant echoes bounce through metallic corridors, glowing on impact. Synth arrangements cause movement to stretch between liminal spaces, interconnected and billowing. This collection plays like a universe full of vastly different subspaces, each piece filling in more details. Their sound design is flawless, and the rich aural details keep this music from ever stagnating. Each subsequent listen makes this album feel more alive. Wonderful." (Foxy Digitalis)

"Long-held tones and a spacious vibe. Further tracks explore the latter direction, with soft reverberations and bells generating a disquiet, as well as brighter, almost washed-out palettes along with wistful violin. As the album progresses, it attains more and more of a cinematic character." (Avant Music News)
