Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

Ghost in the House is an experimental, soundscape-oriented project that threads free-jazz energy with atmospheric listening experiences. Core members weave together unconventional timbres and extended techniques to create immersive performances that feel like a soundtrack for the subconscious. Based in the Bay Area, the group has a documented history of live appearances, archival releases, and ongoing influence within improvised music circles.

Documented collaborators

Led by David Michalak on lap steel, with Karen Stackpole on gongs and percussion, Kyle Bruckmann on oboe and English horn, and Tom Nunn contributing instruments and inventive sound-making devices, Ghost in the House blends lush textures with angular improvisation. Their work on the 2007 Edgetone release Ghost in the House provides a snapshot of their distinctive approach, while subsequent performances and archival notes reflect a continued, if episodic, presence in contemporary experimental music.
