NSTRUMENT 11 Chapter 2 Ghostwriter An Overview Ghostwriter An Overview The Design Concept for the Ghostwriter Virtual Instrument Ever since Ghostwriter Producer Steven Wilson first learned how to produce and record music on equipment his electronic genius father made for him in the 80 s see photo below his passion has always been to experiment with the possibilities of sculpting with sound Avoiding presets or existing samples he has instead preferred to create unique sonic worlds thus blurring the boundaries between sound design song writing and record production However he also recognizes that not everyone has the time or inclina tion to spend so much time developing sound sources when working on their productions The multi track tape machine his father built for him in the 80 s For the first time ever this new instrument presents many of Steven s most innovative sounds as well as a selection of especially created instruments and some replications of instantly recognizable classic sounds created by other legendary producers and engi neers These organic and inspirational sounds can be used as part of the fabric of com plex music productions or as the basis for cinematic soundtrack based music providing a ready made selection of sonic building blocks with years of expertise and sonic innova tion already embedded in them GHOSTWRITER VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT 12 Chapter 2 Ghostwriter An Overview A Note from Produ
