Performers
Of Ghosts and Other Forms
Of Ghosts and Other Forms accidentally became a band, meeting through the East London warehouse scene and Birmingham gigs where they played together at after-parties and jam sessions. Initially only an experiment, the combination of sounds and styles worked a little too well, and in January 2020 they began writing songs, unaware that the world was about to pull them apart. Despite the isolation of 2020, music kept them together; it was their salvation as the world crumbled. Their sound artfully melds electronic and organic sounds – putting flutes through vocoders and looping emotive four-part harmonies. “There is a beautiful musicality in this electronic disassembly”. Recently featured by BBC Introducing, they are inspired by a collective love of Bonobo, Kiasmos, and Bicep, and by their collaborations with producers Nuage and DYVR. Of Ghosts and Other Forms build textural soundscapes punctuated by musings of resilience, and the tangled beauty tied up in (lost) love. They gently celebrate openness and acceptance of people in all their different shapes and relationships.
