Two Major Signings For Tone Death FC

A Centre Back And Left Sided Midfield (2 Photos)

Some are older , more experienced, others are new pretenders.
The Yamaha AW4416 comes in as the first Centre Back, a seasoned campaigner with an impressive history.
Marshalling the tone defence and rock solid under hellfire both on stage and in the Crypt.
Watch out for the wiley Waves 96K card to cement the walls for intense battle even further.

The Peavey Kosmos Pro at Left Midfield, an underrated class act.
Much maligned because of it’s family, the Peavey has a score to settle.
Sculpting the bass bombs in a way even the Waves and DBX masters can’t match.
A hungry maestro who will create the deepest hz for the front players,
whilst preventing the team from being overloaded and distorted off the pitch.

The transfer window has closed for now, but watch out for new signings in a few months.

It feels like a giant automaton is about to awaken,
after what feels like a thousand years to figure out how to move it.
Slowly and breathtakingly, the giant is raising itself to it’s feet.
Exciting times are ahead, and I can feel it coming.

Each building block that slams into place is an unshakeable one.
Much better than ever in the past,
the studio will be rebuilt with the kind of equipment I could only wish for.
The Ghost transport is ready to eat the miles of asphalt to play for the bass hungry electro heads around Europe and beyond.
All of this is taking time, but the foundations are very, very solid.

The automaton is coming, slowly, deliberately, but an unstoppable force for future electro.

Now the Bass Battle strategy begins,
the six spells have been chosen to slip into your consciousness,
silently, unseen, unheard, ready to subvert from within.
The spells to be cast when the leaves fall from the trees are…

Urban Jungle, Resident Evil, Nightdrive Detroit, The Angriest Angel, Seven Deadly Sons and The Machine.
For those of you who who doubted the low frequency occultism of The Ghost,
you are about to get a very nasty surprise,
as the thump of your heart and the sinking feeling in your gut confirm you misjudged his will for revenge.
So it begins…and for those looking for me on Last Fm, no spells will be cast there again…

The Ghost is returning from Electro exile, whose side will you be on?? Choose wisely…

Creating more Electro,
more Bass , more sounds from other worlds, dimensions, realities and unreality.
Even though I feel a touch on my shoulder
telling me to turn back and help those behind me, I can’t.
I feel this is my last chance.

If I turn back now I will be turned to stone.
As much as it causes both myself and The Ghost pain,
the battle is about to begin
and there can be no weaknesses for the enemy to exploit.
The plan is set and the strategy is being formed at HQ across the water.

Let the edits begin…

That Dark asylum where he lives will ALWAYS be my home too.
What I came to realize was the sacrifice was made long ago, I just have been trying to fight it too much. The only thing in life for me are the dark tones.
There is unlikely to ever be room for anything else, and this is why this time I don’t struggle in the cuffs and the jacket. The choice has been made for you long ago, no need to fight it.

A normal life cannot coexist with this one and never could. However I try to escape it just comes back like a sledgehammer swung in a slow deliberate circle before it slams into my chest. It’s a juggle I can’t perform, a distraction I don’t need. The eyes need to focus like lazers on the goal. The dark, the electro, the tones. No mercy.

So my vision of growing old alone, but being content about that, was true.
It’s what I was meant to do, the fact that success is shaking my hand at this late stage tells you loud and clear. Only maybe just maybe one can unlock the other, but the two, the family man and the dark artist, cannot work together.
So accept my fate, because if you gave me a choice, I know which one I would always choose. No hesitation.
It’s why I came back from China, my instinct screamed at me to, it was right.
It’s why I quit jobs or leave girlfriends, because only 1 thing matters.
It’s why strange things happen to pull people away from me, because they’re going to stop me from going down the path that already has my name on it.

So with a last look over my shoulder as the door swings shut,
I prepare for the task ahead, and I don’t regret the life I left behind, but I now know it was never for me. I accept the life that lays ahead and I’m content with that. It’s where I have always wanted to be, I just tried to escape it.

The Ghost That Walks

My only Ghostwalk label vinyl release was mastered by Ron.
He taught me a lot, more than anyone else, and helped make my productions sound better. Giving me advice about tuning the room, getting decent speakers and a spectrum analyzer. Things no one else had done despite three different record labels in Europe.

I was actually planning to try and get ALL my future releases on a new label mastered by him. I appreciated what he did for me so much and enjoyed  listening to his stories of Basic Channel, UR, Jeff Mills, I got to learn what other people were up to and how they did it! I wanted to pay him back by continuing to let him work his magic and wisdom on the Electro.

I’m sad I couldn’t get the chance to continue working with him.
Best wishes to his family and friends and Detroit will miss him very much for sure. You can listen to an interview with Ron from Submerge on an earlier post here.

Rest In Peace, The Ghost Walks With You… always…

The Ghost That Walks

I took down the Mp3 and stopped the free downloads for 2 reasons.
Firstly, despite all the free goodwill, seems virtually no one was buying or supporting the artist, film makers too are STILL, despite me making it clear, expecting something for peanuts or nothing. Art IS worth something, the internet and P2P has NOT wiped that out so wake up.

I’ll challenge that because of the music/film industry and it’s legal pursuers starting to go after ISPs’ instead of torrent sites and downloaders, the “free” days of music and film are numbered. The ISPs’ WILL crack under legal pressure and disconnect broadband accounts and no bleating about privacy will stop it.

It’s starting in France, and will spread worldwide slowly but surely.
So you better be prepared for it, although the industries will never be the same again.

Second Reason is, I am trying to sort out a deal.
It’s early days yet but it’s serious enough for me to pull all the relevant tracks.
I’m sorry to say to all those people who enjoyed, appreciated the free stuff,that there will be no more free material.
It’s  looking very good for being a physical release route from now on.
This is VERY big news and could be the biggest deal of my life.
When it’s concrete I’ll give you more details, just waiting for it to be sealed.

If all works out ok it will be the platform I’ve always wanted and needed and worked so hard for. So watch this space because finally, the Electro is coming good in 2008 and this could really be just the beginning for The Ghost That Walks. It shows that never giving up was worth it, I was RIGHT and a big FUCK YOU to all those who doubted me and dissed me.

What you will see more is Video on places like You Tube and many others. As things develop this will replace Mp3 for anything audio and I hope for more interesting posts in the future of my travels and new deeper, darker and more deadly tunes than ever.

I WILL write my thoughts here more often now,
adding extra media for you at a later date, so stay tuned and keep it dark…

The Ghost That Walks

A volcanic, fucked up, battle scarred
creator from the dark depths the rest of you are scared to look into.
This stuff is about EMOTION.
Forget the technical, forget the production.
Do you FEEL IT??

It’s what I search for in every tune.
Just let go and feel it..
let the Ghost scream and roar and scare the
the shit out of me, and maybe even you,
If you’re lucky enough to feel the tones the way I do.

Music may be free for a while.
But that does not mean it has no value.
The next time you ask me to do something for free,
or if someone asks you to do the same think twice.
My art has true value, is no bullshit, and deserves to be my living.

More about this in the next post…
The Ghost Walks With You…

“No Hope, No love, Only Underground…”
Is my favourite Underground Resistance phrase,
and that’s where the title of the latest tune is from.
I guess I understand this more than ever.

I haven’t lost hope of either,
I just don’t bank on them anymore.
whatever comes , comes, but the only thing
that stays the same is the dark music, the solace of the Underground.
Jobs, people, friends, lovers will come and go…

But the dark tones will always remain
after everything else is raised to the ground.

The Ghost, Me and the irresistable lure of the underworld.
So as my instincts prove me right yet again,
it’s no surprise another part of the trail is burnt in the road.

I was never meant for anything else,
and never will be.
No Hope
No Love
Only Underground

and nothing else besides….

This is another one of those surreal episodes
in life, where things seem to be happening in sequence.
I have to sit and wait my turn for the next plot twist,
yet each episode blends perfectly into the next like a script.

I can feel it happening like words from a page,
and I can’t explain why.
My instincts are tuned to it better this time, so I just roll with it.
These changes in direction and keys turning are as unpredictable
as any Lost episode.

I just understand and accept them now rather than fight,
and it’s fascinating to watch, even though I’m part of it.
Sometimes I think, “why the hell did that happen?”
then as the dark plot unfolds further, realization dawns…
I guess I’m fighting less and saving my energy, accepting my fate.

I just say ok, where next?
I could never have guessed I would be where i am now,
writing Electro again, which I thought was finished,
AND getting a strong reaction to it, which I never expected
to happen so fast…another lock is shattered into a thousand pieces.

Big thanks to Jessica for the awesome photos.
Please check out her Flickr page to see where those
Gothic landscapes and dark images spring from.
A great style of photos and I hope i can feature more soon
in future videos.

Watch out for Send Them To the Cemetery Part 2 soon…

Life gets in the way as usual.
If only I could erase life and just work on the electro,
things would be so much simpler.
I’m way behind schedule but pulling things back slowly.

Some tracks will now feature 2 parts,
twisting the original tune with the same elements
to a time limit of 1 to 2 days max.
This should get me back on track slowly.
Lots more in the pipeline.

I’m starting to look for a Nine Inch nails style singer,
female I thnk would be the best fit,
and have the most appeal to both guys and girls.
A very tough task in Medway, so if you know
of anyone in that area, please get in touch.

In 6 months I’ll have my live kit ready,
as well as being mobile for recording the chosen singer.
The style isn’t going to change.
Dark , full on Electro. But someone put the idea
in my head so let’s follow the rabbithole…

Thanks to BlackAnnis and Lizaah for the photos
you can see them in the video,
If anyone has similar photos please let me know.
I need lots more each week for each track.

Really need more dangerous tour ideas
, got virtually no response last time so please, ask around,
people must know or have heard about these places….

I woke up with an idea.
It just popped into my head and nagged at me,
just like when a voice said “last fm” in my ear.
The idea is to play the most dangerous places in the world.

Places where others fear to tread.
I mean places where they want you to play,
but not many people will because of the risk.
It feels like the perfect backdrop for dark electro.
In that kind of environment the people will feel the darkness.

Just like the inner city people everywhere,
I am convinced living with danger will
mean people will go crazy for the darkness of the underground.
So I’m looking around to see what I can find out.
I’m also looking at Kevlar and stab vests!

Please give me any suggestions or contacts you know
for these kinds of places worldwide.
I am very serious and if you read this blog, you
know I mean business and do what I say.
Feels like the right thing to do, and my feelings tend to ring true.

“The Machine” is back after a short break
featuring the bells from the town where I was born.
There is a stony silence from all the labels,
which is disappointing but not unexpected.
I learned many years ago, it’s sometimes who you know…

But I’m a fighter,and it only takes 1 to raise your profile..

I’d got frustrated with what I tried not working,
scrapped how many basslines, sounds, beats…
Then realized I was trying to produce too much,
just let go and let that evil mofo do what he wants.
You can hear what my mind feels like.

It’s not normal by any stretch of hallucination,
but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Ghost is as supportive and constructive as any ally.
It feels like madness, but has never been destructive.
But I get why some artists go mental or become addicts.

Anyway, the blue skinned one has enough press,
at least for today, and is more than pleased to have
shown me how it’s done. I can hear his guttural
chuckling as we speak.
No need to call an ambulance, this IS normal for me.

Vol 1 Complete Track 10 of 50,
a worthy member of the ten, onto Vol 2.
I have an IDEA, and only an idea to
try ambient versions using the same sounds,
for Dark Films 2, but I don’t know if I can do it!

2 days tops for dark ambient, 2 tracks a week?!!!!??

I can walk down the same street a 1000 times,
and never be bored of it, no matter
no matter how tired or dirty it may look
to other people, my eyes will drink in
every detail, colour, shape and texture.

The missiles are truly flying right now,
due to land this week across the globe.
21 demos, I’m not sure how I feel about it,
what will happen, if anything at all.
I have to steel myself for no reaction at all.

Just got to prepare and see what happens.
No matter what I’ll still be doing 1 track each week.
My skills are improving each week and getting faster.
It’s still a little scary that I could make a real turkey 1 week,
but after 9 weeks i don’t think it’s going to happen.

I’m surprised myself what’s coming out,
and the reaction on Last Fm is pretty good too,
I’m working hard 24/7 on pushing there, since yet again
my web stats record was broken again.It’s not much for some,
but it’s ok for me so far, just got to improve it constantly.

Enjoy Urban Jungle and see you next time…

I’ve waited 10 years + to use this title.
I wanted to give it to a track that was worthy of it,
it’s significant to me, I hope it becomes that in the real world.
I think it will be the lead track for the demos.

There are now 21 demo packages ready.
Detroit, Florida, Germany, Uk, pretty much
all over. Those where I couldn’t find an address, I contacted,
those that replied will get a demo, bar one who
already said it wasn’t his style.

The intention of all this is not for big sales,
but to be prolific, to raise my profile, and get out there,
playing and performing, earning too!
I don’t believe sales at this level will earn much,
but regular performances will be just about right.

The biggest response I get (Myspace, etc) is “When are you playing?”
not “where can I buy”, which makes sense to me.
I’m trying to get people into it by offering something
of value, which will get them to a gig later on.
Reading more and more internet marketing, this adds up.

The hard sell doesn’t work anymore,
but testing what messages and tactics work the best,
has helped a great deal.
I bend over backwards to offer something worthwhile
to people who are likely to enjoy it….and I don’t do spam, got it?

Thanks to Fenducci for linking to my site.

They seem to like what I’m doing, and were kind enough to put
a link up there, so go and have a look what Electronic madness they’re up to.
