Jim Copperthwaite - Ballroom Ghosts

Ballroom Ghosts is a collection of pieces inspired by imagined melodies trapped in the beautiful ruins and decaying remnants of historic ballrooms. The album explores the idea that the moments that brought life to a space somehow permeate it's fabric and continue to reside in the space long after it's heyday - a patina of sound and people. Among the dilapidation and dust exist the faint spectres of the dancers that took to it's floors and the music that fuelled their graceful interplay.1 The Dancers2 Like Butter3 Her Spell4 Cold Light5 Ruins6 Grand Master7 The History Of Cubes8 Lights At Indian Cove9 Powder Games10 Hourglass
