Edit history

Long-time collaborators Jamie Trevaskis and James Lees come together as musicians for the first time on Ghostlight, an album of atmospheric collaborations born from a shared history in the studio and a mutual fascination with texture, space and mood. Trevaskis is a celebrated producer, recording engineer, musician and composer whose evocative guitar work and production credits span two decades, working with artists including Robert Forster, Hugo Race and Karl S. Williams, and his own current project Crying/The Heavy Light. Lees is a Brisbane/Meanjin-based multi-instrumentalist and composer, known for his work with Silver Sircus and his solo/collaborative project Ghostwoods, which explores dark jazz, minimalism and post-rock/noise textures. The album Ghostlight (the title being a portmanteau of their two project names), began with a series of extended guitar soundscapes recorded by Trevaskis in the Northern NSW hinterland, which Lees shaped with atmospheric piano and percussion. Moving between the ethereal and the foreboding, the album inhabits a shadowy space of drones, broken chords, shimmering echoes and cinematic tension.
