13 March 2008: film festival
Hello-
First of all, a sincere THANK YOU for the response to Ghosts. We are all amazed at the reaction for what we assumed would be a quiet curiosity in the NIN catalog. My faith in all of you has been restored - let's all go have coffee somewhere (my treat)!

Today we announce the expansion of the Ghosts project into the visual world. This record began as an experiment with us using sound as a means to describe visuals. Early in the project we thought it would be interesting to see what the community could create / collaborate on as a reaction to the music we were making. We wanted to keep the canvas as blank as possible for you, hence the lack of descriptive song titles and the primarily textural artwork and packaging.
So here's the plan: we've teamed up with YouTube to host a "film festival" around Ghosts. The concept is for you to take whatever tracks you feel inspired by from Ghosts and create what you feel should accompany them visually. You will be able to see all of the submissions, and a team of us (including me) will be sorting through them and setting aside ones we feel are exceptional. Eventually (within a couple of months?) we will present a virtual "film festival" with me and some special guests presenting selections of your work.
This isn't a contest and you don't win elaborate prizes - it's meant to be an experiment in collaboration and a chance for us to interact beyond the typical one-way artist-to-fan relationship. We've discussed some interesting ways this could go, including multiple installments of the online "film festivals," to broadcast TV specials, to a one-time live performance of the entire Ghosts record with your visuals involved. It really depends on how this progresses and develops.
We are all very much looking forward to what you come up with, and hope you enjoy the experience. Visit our YouTube channel later today for information on how to participate.

pourquoi pas ...
c'est une bonne idée, ça peut être très sympa! je pense que je vais réfléchir et peut être proposer une vidéo...
J'ai hâte de voir ce que ça va donner!

c'est absolument génial comme idée, on vas avoir une autre aperçue artistique des fans, car moi les remix mais le visuel par contre avec Ghosts en trame sonore, la ça m'inspire

Je me laisserais bien tenter par l'expérience également mais je ne suis pas très inspirée pour le moment...enfin disons que je ne sais pas trop comment m'y prendre...est-il possible, par exemple, d'utiliser des extraits de films ou ce genre de choses? Ou est-ce qu'il s'agit d'une véritable création originale?

En tout cas, la générosité et le sens du partage de Trent n'ont de cesse de m'étonner...Rarement un artiste n'a été aussi en adéquation et proche de son public...Respect.

Puis ben c'est ok pour le café Trent, mais il faut que tu m'appelles avant, que je puisse me libérer un moment (c'est vrai je suis overbookée ces jours-ci)

check http://www.nin.com for exciting announcements regarding live performances soon

Decidement, j'adore NIN au réveil toujours des bonnes nouvelles

c'est au Canada!!!!!!!! il approche de chez moi

allez viens mon beau Trent qu'on le prennent ce café..........

Trent Reznor on Zane Lowe
Ghosts, and plans for 2008

Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZANE: … it's a pleasure to have him on the phone and right now we welcome to Radio 1 to his fans listening right around the world – Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. How are you?
TRENT: I'm doing great.

ZANE: Considering that your life is upside down inside out at the mercy of laborers right now?

TRENT: (laughing) Exactly! Doing some construction at the place that I have so I'm in a weird kind of hippy house up in the Hollywood Hills.

ZANE: Let's focus on what you've been up to man. Tell us a little bit about the music you put together, you know, 'Ghosts', and how it relates to the audience and what’s your whole overall vision for this?

TRENT: This new record kind of came out of a time… you see, last fall we just finished touring for about a year or so and, finally getting free from a major label record contract, I found myself kind of feeling great about being free, and feeling terrified about being free. So, we're sitting around and I felt inspired to work on some music, and wasn't particularly feeling like delving back into the high pressure of a Nine Inch Nails record. And I noticed as I was noodling around the studio that if I just sat down, start working on things without thinking about it… I mean often what happens when I start writing music in the studio is if I don’t stop myself I’ll fill it up with things and then there’s no room for any kind of melody or what will be the focus of the track… So, there was no reservation and I just did what I thought was right. Very liberating to start a track and think – ‘ok, in two hours I gonna be done with this’. And then just see what happens. And without that censor, without that editor in place it was a really fun experience.

ZANE: And beyond actually putting the music out for people to sit down and listen to and enjoy, you’ve also, I mean I guess, attached to it some hope that there will be some interactivity, and I was talking to someone in your camp recently who’s saying that the idea is ultimately to hope people will put images and put further inspiration to this music, because it is wide open, given that it’s a soundscape, it’s wide open to go in any direction. Is that the case, you kinda hoping there’s gonna be some further involvement from fans on a filming level, cinematic level?

TRENT: Yeah I mean, why not open this up to community and see what as if that were soundtracks to films that don’t exist, see what people can shoot back at us. And that was the reason I chose not to title the tracks anything else then just numbers – and we wanted it to be kind of a blank canvas so we weren’t telling you ‘this is track X about this’. So we called up YouTube and inquired if they were interested in helping us pull this off. Which they were, and we just kind of have an experiment seeing what comes back from the community. And I spent a last couple of days weeding through a variety of things that range from terrible to… (Zane laughs) pretty interesting. I mean, what you'd expect.

ZANE: I think it’s a great idea! And you know, I think the whole idea of someone like yourself, who could have easily – well not easily cause I know how hard are your records to finish sometimes and how much you pour into them – who could have turned around and stay on the treadmill with or without a record label… And I think it’s kind of inspiring that someone at the stage of your journey is decided to take a left turn and do something different. Uhm, and what are your plans for the next twelve-eighteen months? Without a record label, without all that infrastructure in place? Exciting times…

TRENT: Yeah, what changed in my life dramatically – it seems that the fear that always made records take forever, and endless noodling and re-working, and insecurity is kind of gone away. I’m working on some new material right now, and we have some dates planned to play this year, I can’t get into too much details about it… We’re reassembling the new band, and lots of things going on – there’s no vacation that's in mind for at least another year+ for me…

ZANE: Yeah, I know, I’ve heard that you effectively going to disband the line-up that's been with you for quite some time - it must be quite – to walk away from that outfit as it stood. It’s quite an interesting decision…

TRENT: well, the bones of it are still in place... I mean, to be quite frank, it’s reassessing what Nine Inch Nails is and trying to make sure it stays true to who I am as a person, at the age I’m at right now, and feels relevant and has meaning to me…

ZANE: So you're gonna grow beard and form an acoustic band? Is it what… is it?

TRENT: I didn’t want it to come out… to give it away right now… but… OK (laughing)

ZANE: It was really nice talking with you, enjoy the rest of your time in your hippy commune...And I’d like to say I think what you’re doing is absolutely fascinating, and I hope creatively it pays dividends for you and get the results you seek. and we look forward to whatever you come back with Trent and any time in the future you can give us to keep us in the loop we very much appreciate it

TRENT: I really appreciate it, thank you very much.
