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 for information on how to participate.

嗨，首先，真诚感谢大伙儿对<Ghosts>这张专辑的回应，我们感到很惊讶，因为本来在NIN的目录上，我们猜测只会引起一些悄悄的好奇心罢了，我对大家再次充满了信心————让我们出去找地方喝咖啡去（我请客）！

今 天我们正式宣布<Ghosts>项目在视觉领域的扩张计划，这张唱片开始将作为我们的一次试验————使用声音对视觉进行一种意义补完。我们最初 认为这个计划是很有趣的，看看社群将会创造/合作出什么来————作为一个对我们音乐的回应。我们想保持给你们一个尽可能空白的画面，所以歌曲的题目描述 主要插图包装都还没有。

计划的内容是：我们和YouTube合作举行一场以<Ghosts>为主题的film festival,意思是你们可以用任何你觉得有感觉的<Ghosts>里的音轨创造出应该和它们在一起的视觉画面，你可以看见所有其它的帖 子，我们的团队将进行整理并且从中挑选出一些特别的作品，甚至会做出一个虚拟的"film festival"，里面有我还会有那些送给我们好作品的朋友。这不是一场比赛你不会得到什么精致的奖励，我是说，它只是一次合作意义上的尝试，一个我们 和你们互动的机会————越过以往总是艺术家和FANS单向交流的关系模式。我们已经讨论了很多有趣的可能性，包括更多次也更多样的"film festivals"，特别的电视广播，在一次现场表演上将<Ghosts>和你们的视觉效果呈现，这就要看项目的进程和发展如何了。

我们非常期待你们的想法，希望大家都能获得愉快的体验。访问我们的YouTube频道看看如何参与的信息吧。

以上，试着翻译了一下，Trent实在有创意啊。我都有忍不住有要用DC去拍点东西的想法了。。不过<Ghosts>到目前还没怎么听呢——该死的网速。。而且我机器太烂，以前用Vegas给NIN的MV加过字幕玩，基本上别的什么事都做不了了。。

从2 weeks到soon到tick tock到2 hours，今天终于更新了(Trent貌似现在在香港...)
新专辑的名字是Ghosts(有不同版本)，在这里可以听，另外可以免费下载前9首http://ghosts.nin.com/main/player

NIN的演出让这次北京之行烦躁的细节一扫而空。the beginning of the end,head like a hole,wish,hurt..现场越是冰冷，人的心越热～Brett虽然岁数大了，人还是相当妩媚(Beautiful Ones的时候很多人都哭了吧～还有就是他推保安的时候)～另外俄罗斯乐队Mumiy Troll也不错。
