Biography
Stray Ghost is Anthony Saggers, an English Neo-Classical / Ambient Composer.
In August 2008, the British label Highpointlowlife Records released his debut physical release, Losthilde. The album was a semi-autobiographical exploration of lost love, and received glowing reviews featuring in Textura’s top-of-year list.
Shortly after, blossoming label Dead Pilot Records released the E.P Fabula/Sjuzhet followed by the twenty minute, single track A House of Gold and Oak.
Released on net-label Phantom Channel the latter of these two showcased for the first time a more methodical and crystal-clear minimalist approach to his music.
In September 2009, Dead Pilot Records released the album, An Avalanche of Swollen Tongues which pushed further into the micro-sound design elements of the Stray Ghost sound, Saggers saying of this album:
“This (Avalanche…) was a strange one for me because one the on hand I suppose I can understand people thinking that it’s a sonically extreme album, in terms of harshness of tone I think it may be the noisiest; but at the same time emotionally I think it’s the most objective album I’ve done. By that I mean I didn’t set out to create a direct reflection of any inner state so much as try and push some of my own envelopes in terms of developing new creative sound-design techniques to use as a descriptive tool…pretentious as that may sound, it’s the truth….so maybe that‘s why the album came out sounding pretty intense.”
Shortly after Australian label Hidden Shoal Recordings made a deal with Anthony to release a follow-up to Losthilde, the album ended up being delayed for some time and so the E.
