Applebaum

Each song on Ghost Funk Orchestra’s 3rd album, A New Kind of Love, due to be released on Colemine Records … 2022, resonates like the soundtrack to a scene from an imaginary movie. The music could score a romantic drama, an action thriller, or a modern twist on a classic film noir. The spare, cascading vocals accentuate the lush instrumental orchestrations composed, performed, arranged and produced by multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum, whose latest brainchild was conceived and conceptualized during The Great Pause of 2020, a time of tension, bewilderment and isolation.

Compassionate, groundbreaking, and urgently needed, Stand By Me provides caregivers with new ways to juggle the responsibilities and emotional ups and downs of caregiving.

With staying power that would amaze its creators, funk continues to be refined and redefined. Once a studio-only project that featured the varied talents of producer Seth Applebaum, New York City-based Ghost Funk Orchestra has also grown into a formidable live act that can raise up a groove and carry it to new heights. While he writes, arranges, and records all the music, Applebaum is also the chief instrumental voice responsible for bass, guitars, drums and various percussion, keyboards and synths including Ace Tone organ, Hohner Clavinet and Moog Model D. And unlike earlier purely studio creations, where endless obsessing over tracks was the rule, on A Trip To The Moon, Applebaum and the band play live.
