       why ghostbeat?

in many African tribes,
music and spirituality are fused
and the ability to play music
is a gift from God.
God's drum is always playing
- it's the pulse of all music.
out of respect
musicians don't play on His beat,
but around it.
ghostbeat uses many unique applications
of the universal language of rhythm
to let you find your own pulse.
that's why ghostbeat.

indescribably influenced
by the African explorations of
david byrne and brian eno,
peter gabriel, and some excellent etcetera
we fuse that with a quirky, exotic
blend of pop rock favoring
the beatles, talking heads,
worldbeat, xtc, paul simon,
king crimson, and scott joplin.
yea, you figure it out.

there are so many
that write so eloquently
about misery, getting laid,
hating your job, and losing love
that ghostbeat so often chooses to write
about the other
infinite things in this life.
lyrics and rhythms
that challenge you,
perhaps provoke your spirit.
we like planting
those seeds of thought
in the communities
where our music is heard.










please share this music
that it may do for others
what others have done for it
