Ghost Ensemble is a New York-based experimental new music ensemble composed of flute, oboe, accordion, percussion, harp, viola, cello, two contrabasses, and a conductor. The ensemble frequently commissions new works that merge classically notated music and improvisation with experimental sound practices. They follow an aesthetic that has been described as "music composed for a deep listening that fixes you in the present,"[1] that "uses sound to seek an altered consciousness, from a meditative awareness to a look, perhaps, into a different dimension".[2]

The ensemble is closely connected to the music of Pauline Oliveros, who introduced several members of the ensemble before its inception.[3] The group frequently performs the work of Oliveros and advocates for her philosophy of Deep Listening.[4][5][6] Ghost Ensemble's 2018 debut LP features work by Oliveros, ensemble director Ben Richter, and founding oboist Sky Macklay. The 2021 release Mountain Air features the Oliveros work of the same name and works by Marguerite Brown and Teodora Stepancic.[7] Other composers commissioned by the ensemble include Catherine Lamb, Miya Masaoka, Sarah Davachi, ensemble bassist James Ilgenfritz, Elizabeth Adams, Kristina Wolfe, Andrew C. Smith, and Kyle Gann.[8][9][10] Performance collaborators have included Carmina Escobar and David Rothenberg.[11] Ghost Ensemble has performed nationally at venues such as REDCAT in Los Angeles and Pioneer Works in New York.[12]
