With the now century long use of recording and broadcast technologies to document and disseminate culture has come a tremendous pile of materials, both personal and received. ghostbox views these recorded materials as spirits, dwelling within the decaying husks of our dated technologies, fated to repeat themselves again and again as the world around them moves on. These ghosts vibrate constantly in the air influencing our thoughts and experiences in a number of ways. The program features music by Joseph Bourdeau, David Aguila, Teresa Díaz, Douglas Osmun, Janet Sit, Berk Schneider, and Ilana Waniuk.
