Musicians Asa Horvitz and Carmen Quill discuss GHOST, a multi-format piece of art that began its life as a touring multidisciplinary performance and later took form as a website with video and music components commissioned by Het HEM (NL) before finally taking form as an album with additional contributions from Ariadne Randall, Bryan West, and Wayne Horvitz. The lyrics for the work were generated by a custom Natural Language Processing AI system (designed by Seraphina Goldfarb-Tarrant and Alejandro Calcaño). Part experimental opera, part neo-Medieval reverie, and part avant-pop song cycle, it is now presented as a streamlined album of standout recordings made throughout the project’s long genesis.
