I also am a deeply invested nerd in terms of new technologies that come out every year, as I feel technology is the next step in our evolutionary process to overcome the next big extinction. I was very inspired by anime such as Serial Experiments Lain, Evangelion, Eureka 7, and Cowboy Bebop as mediums that use both technology and philosophy of the soul to tell a story. The DATA in GHOST DATA represents my deep love and fascination for advancements in Technology and Computer Applications. That’s where the DATA part comes into play. Rightfully so in that respect, as I had not discovered who or what my music truly was at the time. There was and still is so much social pressure to make what sells, what will get you popular, but as a GHOST I felt almost without a voice or a body. In a lot of ways, I felt a ghost in the community I was making music in. The GHOST in GHOST DATA came from my interest in the spirit and soul of the Self, a slight nod to my favorite game of the PS2 era, Fatal Frame, and the feeling I felt as a new and overlooked artist at the time. GD: I wanted to come up with a name that not only had barely any SEO attached to it, but I wanted it to convey what two of the most important things to me were at the time, and ironically still are. RR: For those that don’t know, can you tell us what the moniker Ghost Data means to you and the project? We had the opportunity to ask GHOST DATA about the origins of his name, the Shepherdess storyline, his experience in the music scene while having Aspergers and Tourette’s, his upcoming album Cruel Choreography and more. But we could sit here all day talking about his music. He breaks the track’s message down to brass tacks with pulling focus into the lyrics and mustering angelic synth melodies to carry it through. Xzaviyer Hoffpauir has been building his soundscape since 2015, with tracks like “Lily’s Love” reaching 100,000 plays within days after hitting gold on the subreddit, /listentothis, receiving support from Slushii on BBC Radio 1’s Diplo & Friends for “Sushi Love” and amassing millions of streams with “Celestial Bodies” and “Blatant Plagiarism”.įrom there, Hoffpauir captured the hearts of many and fans have now come to have christened his music as “dreamsynth.” His most recent remix of Static’s, “Breathe,” is just another excellent showcase of his talents. GHOST DATA has been infiltrating our radar, with his first appearance on the festival scene at iLLFest in Austin, Texas last May to now coming up on his ninth album release in 2020.
