Presenting... "Impermanence (waag_rel011)" by Ketsa





What can I say about the music of Dominic Giam aka Ketsa? I'm not sure I have the right words to describe his style of ethnic folk music infused electronica. I could call it 'fusion' but that doesn't sound right. I guess it is his music ... and it is quality music that I am proud to present on weareallghosts. I've been a fan of Giam's for a while but his recent album on Invisible Agent really did seal the deal for me - 'Al Kemet' is awesome! (https://soundcloud.com/invisibleagent/sets/ketsa-al-kemet-album).

What makes this album even more remarkable is that Giam lost his wife, Gabrielle, two months before writing this album. It is a tragically bittersweet reminder of her and is dedicated to her memory. I don't know about you but if I were to lose my wife ... I wouldn't be able function let alone create something so utterly beautiful as the music on this album. It really does demonstrate the Giam's strength of character, his devotion to the memory of his wife and his passion for music.

I hope you will find this album as remarkable and as enjoyable as I do.

An mp3 version is and will always be available for free on Archive.org ... with a lossless version available for ’pay what you want’ over on our Bandcamp page. Any profits from monies raised will go to Dominic Giam and the foundation he's created in Gabrielle's honour.

Have a listen below ... and spread the word.

Coming in December... "Impermanence (waag_rel011)" by Ketsa



I couldn't hold onto this any longer... I mentioned this release on Thursday over on my other blog... but wanted to mention it here too. The mighty Ketsa is joining weareallghosts with a superfine selection of smooth Eastern-flavoured electronic beats entitled "Impermanence".

Seriously, this album rocks and I thought it fitting to give him a superfine cover... trust me, the music warrants it.

weareallghosts is just getting stronger and stronger with each release... I am so excited for releases 7 through 11... all have might in their own ways and my thanks go to each artist for entrusting me with their music.

Next up... is Apta's second EP entitled "Visions (waag_rel007)". It will drop 'officially' on Monday but may be up on Archive and Bandcamp sooner than that... I get productive when my family are watching X-Factor.

Until then... stay curious.
