Twin by The Phantom String
TWIN tells the story of a haunted house outside in the forests. The ten instrumental tracks creating longing moods, thematise melancholy and mysteries, projecting uncomfortable apparitions and emphasizing the disquietness of the quiet. And yet it all stays blurred in the synapses of the imagination like in a dream.
The musical style with its retro flair of the first half of TWIN remembers of the (horror) movie scores of the sixties or the seventies. Contrary to that the second half offers minimal seemingly orchestral dark ambient pieces, which in parts scarily and atonal, intensify the atmosphere even more. The Phantom String’s version of a haunted house soundtrack!

THE PHANTOM STRING is a studio project launched 2015 by Olaf Kujat to realize dark and atmospheric albums with a cosmos on its own, with an electronic sound that is as organic as possible. Kujat's main instrument is the synthesizer, but even so Kujat likes to play with the peculiarities of acoustic instruments with an idiosyncratic sound.
