Roj - The Transactional Dharma of Roj (Ghost Box)  Ex-Broadcast member Roj utilises much percussion, analogue electronica and tape to create a body of work, which subscribes perfectly to the concept of Retro-Futurism whilst being shrouded in eastern spiritualism. Such as in Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”, where a vision of a bleak future is depicted by re-appropriated objects from the past – Roj revitalises electronic relics to similar effect. The percussion serves to instill a primitive element against its scientific frontage. There are clear influences from such pioneers of electronica as the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, White Noise and Bruce Haack. Like BBC RW, some of the processes and procedures are obviously overtly complicated - and would not exist without much manipulative intervention - so duration is often very short (the 24 tracks range between 20 seconds to 4? minutes). The freak-ish folk is akin to “Valerie and Her week of Wonders” and “The Wicker Man” (long time obsessive muses of Broadcast), and those influences are occasionally pulled into the frame, such as the haunted woodwind of “Yellow Peel”.  Roj has used process as a vehicle to seek righteousness. www.ghostbox.co.uk Willsk Next
