NIN surprises us with an unexpected self-released album: almost 2 hours / 36 instrumental tracks described as "music for daydreams." Available as a $5 download, or a FREE album-length download, as well as a variety of physical configurations. The new business model done right?


This music arrived unexpectedly as the result of an experiment. The rules were as follows: 10 weeks, no clear agenda, no overthinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as... something.

The team: Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder and myself with some help from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew and Brian Viglione. Rob Sheridan collaborated with Artist in Residence (A+R) to create the accompanying visual and physical aesthetic.

We began improvising and let the music decide the direction. Eyes were closed, hands played instruments and it began. Within a matter of days it became clear we were on to something, and a lot of material began appearing. What we thought could be a five song EP became much more. I invited some friends over to join in and we all enjoyed the process of collaborating on this.

The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we're able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed - from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we've ever created.

More volumes of Ghosts are likely to appear in the future.

Weird. nin.com does not allow the www before it.

Try this.

Just a heads up though. There server is massively overloaded and is deathly slow. Takes about 15 seconds to stream 5-10 seconds of audio on their player. The e-mail for downloading the first 9 tracks DRM free does not even work it is so slow. I would look for a torrent of it.

This torrent is 100% legal since the music was released under Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license. So I should be able to put it on SRL without it being removed.

Apparently Trent knows how to rake in a mild bit of cash.
