Happy Ghosts are an exciting new Adelaide duo. Using voice samples, live instruments and rhythm programming, the music falls somewhere between ambient and electronic music from the edge. Andrew Muecke (ex-At Random, Andrissa) provides instrumentation and award winning video and documentary maker Ashley Starkey provides voice and graphics.

· The latest Happy Ghosts project is Ammunition, an hour long film that montages original music with archival footage, sound effects, stills and film imagery. Difficult to place in a genre, Ammunition is a complex work that takes the viewer on a wild ride from the everyday world to the fantastic and beyond. From sublime moments of floating in space through the beauty and harshness of the natural world to jarring explosions and crashes of the American dream. The film's catch cry is 'Beware of Boredom'. Expected May 2007
