"And the shadows float ahead."
It all began in 1989, when the world of dark electronic music felt eerily still. For a restless 14-year-old in Germany, who had already worn out his cassettes of The Sisters of Mercy, DAF, and Dead Can Dance, the silence was unbearable. So he filled it himself. That teenager was Sascha, and the band he formed out of sheer creative necessity became Ghosting—a name borrowed from childhood ghost stories and destined to haunt underground scenes across Europe for years to come. From their haunting early demos—where Dark Ambient textures met medieval undertones—to a debut album deal struck the same night they played Bonn’s Ballhaus, Ghosting quickly claimed their own corner of the underground. Their 1991 debut Romantic Death leaned heavily into Gothic Rock, but it didn’t take long for Sascha’s restless vision to push the project beyond genre boundaries, blending Classical, Industrial, and Electronic elements long before such cross-pollination became common. Peek-A-Boo Magazine had the pleasure of sitting down with Sascha to look back at the origins of Ghosting, talk about where the project stands today, and offer a glimpse into what lies ahead:GHOSTING • interview • 2025 • Peek-A-Boo Magazine
