The Grand Mystique
(Excelsior Recordings / Ghosttrucker)
In my own studio, the Animal Kingdom, collaborating with a number of musical guests from great bands such as Alamo Race Track, Moss, Seesaw, the MAE and Kopna Kopna I recorded an album about the time when day turns to night and night into day. "What happens in a meadow at dusk?". The Grand Mystique was mixed by Frans Hagenaars.
Ghosttrucker vs. The Birds
The Unheard Film Festival, spin-off of Kriterion asked us to create a soundtrack for an old movie. We picked the forever brilliant The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. This film suited the philosophy of Ghost Trucker that great mystery lies in the ordinary.
