Ghost Ensemble + Tasting Menu at Wind River // Ghost Ensemble performs Sky Macklay & Ben Richter

Ghost Ensemble
Ghost Ensemble fosters groundbreaking music that blurs borders of genre, style, and scene, expanding our perceptual horizons through shared immersive experience. Collaboration with living composers is its primary focus. Since its 2012 inception, the ensemble has commissioned 34 new works by a diverse range of highly original composers who share a belief in music’s potential for individual and community transformation. Rethinking the norms of composer/performer collaboration, Ghost Ensemble conducts innovative workshops to nurture adventurous new music over the course of multiple seasons. The resulting work often straddles contemporary classical, experimental chamber music, avant-garde jazz, sound art, and territories in between.
Tasting Menu is a Los Angeles & Oakland-based collaboration between Tim Feeney, Cassia Streb, and Cody Putman, exploring instrumental and found sound, movement, tape recorders, door frames, window panes, rainstorms, pine cones, concrete floors, and children’s cartoons. Their recordings can be heard on Full Spectrum and mappa. They have performed for REDCAT, the wulf., Human Resources, Coaxial, the underwolf summer festival, and Music for Your Inbox.
