IST - Ghost Notes

Originally released in 1998, Ghost Notes was IST’s third album, and their first (and only one) to feature compositions. Recorded following a UK tour which featured an extensive exploration of the repertoire for improvising strings - including the first performances of several IST-commissioned composition - the album presents a selection of these compositions interspersed with free improvisations – the activity for which this group was best known.

Reviews

"Ist play gorgeous realtime realspace musique concrete. Subliminal sensitivity to scratch and distortion produces ear-fixating suites." Ben Watson HIFI NEWS & RECORD REVIEW

"Simon Fell just keeps cranking out high level material. His third recording with the harp-cello-bass trio, Ist, is no exception. These guys can think, listen and play. This Geister Trio may not be better than the Beethoven, but it's certainly scarier. Just to give one example, nothing on the older work sounds like someone's having his face ripped up with a potato peeler. Recommended." Walter Horn CADENCE
