DeadWave

Ghost Circuit Studios

When the colour drops out,
the signal is all that's left.

DeadWave is Ghost Circuit's monochrome mode — a fully separate visual register for episodes, releases and events that should feel colder, older, or closer to the edge of the frequency. Same ghost. Same studio. No colour, no glow, no comfort.

Site-wide mode

This page always runs in DeadWave. The rest of the site is still in Mode A — switch it over here, or with the DEADWAVE control in the header.

DeadWave is on across the whole site. Return to Mode A here, or with the ◂ MODE A control in the header. Either one takes you back to the studio home page, since this page always stays in DeadWave.

Two modes. Two doors.

Mode A · Ghost Circuit

Cyan signal, glow, navy grounds, channel colours. Adventure, music, wonder.

The front door.

Mode B · DeadWave

Pure grayscale, hard contrast, paper and pitch. Dread, silence, evidence.

The door you weren't meant to open.

DeadWave is an event, not a default: no more than one release in five, so that when the picture goes black and white, you know something different is coming. It is not another studio and not a sixth channel — DeadWave releases keep their own channel and number.
