ABOUT
Peeking Through The Noise (PTTN) is the collaborative music project of Crystal Casey and Joseph Beaty. Their working relationship began in 2018 when Joseph and Crystal found each other on Instagram. They immediately started recording and sending files back and forth. After releasing a few solo tracks featuring one another as guest vocalists, the desire to create a full blown project was too great to ignore. Within a year, Joseph and Crystal would become PTTN and release their debut EP, Still Wandering. Followed by 2019’s “A Tone” EP, 2020’s Full Length, “Skeleton Keys” and several singles. 2024 brought the first extended release in four years titled, “What Will Not Decay?” An Ambient noise affair. For 2025, PTTN delivers yet another EP titled, Ghosts Of Glass & Wire. Including the singles, Loose Ground and I Want It Out.
Ghosts of Glass & Wire EP (2025)
Ghosts of Glass & Wire
Ghosts of Glass & Wire was shaped over the course of several years—picked up and put down between life’s many twists and turns. A finger prick here, a drop of blood there. Each song a shard of glass, a strand of wire, hitched to the backroads of our minds and memories. Until now.
Put on your best headphones. Reach in carefully and travel through as we have.
Fans of Dark Ambient, Electronic, Noise, Chelsea Wolfe, Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross are sure to enjoy this 4-song set exploring minimalism, the contrast of light, dark, noise, piano and angelic voice.

“Loose Ground” Single
The first single from Ghosts of Glass & Wire is titled, Loose Ground. The song begins with a haunting piano and wailing guitar noise in the distance. The swaggering beat joins the mix and Joseph and Crystal ask the listener, When will we go down? Eventually, this wiring goes south. The song explores fragility, familiarity in the feeling of dread. The very ground that supports us now will eventually devour us. Loose Ground is also available during the pre-order on Bandcamp.
“I Want It Out” Single and Video
The second single and video, “I Want It Out” is a demand for something sinister to release its hold. It’s as if Joseph is the infection, the demon and Crystal is trying to push it all out. It felt like a story that needed to be told through a device. Through eyes that might be witnessing it all. In this case, a CRT TV equipped with a custom analog glitch art setup.
