Inconsolable Ghost

“tapping into signals from beyond, broadcasting into haunted cinemas…” Inconsolable Ghost is an occult audio-visual group produced by Hilary Jeffery and Gideon Kiers, former members of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation. Conjuring up a twenty-first century vision of spiritism and occupying a similarly spooky territory as Kilimanjaro / Fuji, this project works with several well known artists who are conceived as channellers of energies, atmospheres, ghosts, spirits, thought forms and other entities. Inconsolable Ghost live shows are deeply atmospheric channelling events, as anyone who witnessed their early channelling events can testify to. The first channelling took place at OT301 – the old film academy in Amsterdam – there followed two Central European tours in 2014 and 2015 which brought the group to Vienna, Bratislava, Topolcany, Budapest, Ostrava and Zagreb. These tours featured collaborations with the Japanese filmmaker Makino Takashi, the Hungarian viola player Zsolt Sőrés, the Berlin duo Hacklander \ Hatam and the Australian cellist Anthea Caddy. Since 2014, the invited channellers have been: Zsolt Sőrés (Ahad) – viola, electronics, voice Anthea Caddy – cello Charlotte Cegarra – voice, computer Colin Hacklander – drums Farahnaz Hatam – computer Alfredo Genovesi – guitar, electronics Miodrag Gladović – guitar, computer Hilary Jeffery – trombone, electronics, voice Gideon Kiers – computer, electronics, video Ralf Meinz – live sound, electronics Gianpaolo Peres – voice Makino Takashi – film, sound Raphael Vanoli – guitar, electronics
