Ghostly International

American electronic music trio, Emeralds, was founded in 2006 and based in Cleveland, Ohio. Their improvisational style combined synthesizers and guitars with vocals, electronics, and field recordings. Drawing inspiration from artists like Tangerine Dream, Ashra, Coil, Terry Riley, and Popol Vuh.
In January 2013, *Mark McGuire* left the band followed by *Steve Hauschildt* two weeks later resulting in the complete breakup of the group.
Emeralds' unique sound has influenced a number of similar artists including *Oneohtrix Point Never*, *Yellow Swans*, *Windy & Carl*, *Belong*, and many more.

In the late 2000s a sprawling catalog of what is now genre-defining&nbsp;music was emanating from an unlikely place. Cleveland, Ohio has a broad&nbsp;reputation for many things, but in the aughts, psyche-expanding Kosmische wasn’t necessarily Cleveland’s calling card... until&nbsp;Emeralds. The&nbsp;trio of&nbsp;John Elliott,&nbsp;Steve Hauschildt, and&nbsp;Mark McGuirehad&nbsp;released a&nbsp;profusion of limited-run cassettes, CD-Rs, and vinyl titles that had been&nbsp;passed around basement shows and then migrated to niche music communities online, creating a unique kind of murmur, even in the height of&nbsp;the DIY blog era. Three kids from the rust belt were crafting a distinctive&nbsp;and truly far-out strain of music on their own terms in the Midwest. They&nbsp;were flipping lids in wood-paneled basements and circulating around the&nbsp;underground with soaring sounds stylistically indebted to deep German&nbsp;electronic music pioneers and released with the ethos and twisted fervor&nbsp;of renegade Midwestern noise freaks. After several releases garnered&nbsp;a die-hard fandom in niche circles of internet/music culture, and then&nbsp;catching the attention of the late Peter Rehberg, the renowned artist and&nbsp;curator of the&nbsp;Editions Mego&nbsp;label, an expectation was set that the next&nbsp;Emeralds record was going to be a big one. And in 2010,&nbsp;Does it Look&nbsp;Like I’m Here?&nbsp;was it.
