In Theatres and Playhouses, a single lightbulb is kept lit on stage overnight. It's known as "Luz Fantasma", "Geistlicht", "La Servante", "Ghostlight". 
It exists, among lost historical reasons, to guide anyone that may need to navigate the dark and empty stage after hours. In the creation of this piece, the only things turned on inside the Theatre halls were the ghostlight and my recording device.

“Ghostlight” is a sound installation that stems from an ongoing, possibly lifelong, field recording practice of capturing the sounds of theatres during their off-hours; overnight, when they are empty and idle. It’s one possible materialisation of an extensive collection of room tones, gathered from the eerie curiosity about what resonates in these spaces when they are not hosting any performance. 
These venues exist in a scale larger and longer than our own; the lives that dwell within them belong to different timelines and sizes, which are encompassed by the scale of these Houses, in a superimposition of times and spaces. By taking the very long recordings, time-compressing them and treating them as voices of Entities, previously unrecognisable patterns emerge into our scale of perception.
