the bubbling space blur in this one reminds me a bit of sun ra*s cosmic freak outs. but more laid back ;)
I haven't listened to as much Sun Ra as I should have, but I feel a connection, and have always felt that Space and ancient Egypt are key, following the theories of Fingerprints of the Gods ... these sounds are codes for those connections in the way that hieroglyphics are ... Atlantis, the Cosmos, AOS, Egypt, Music of the Spheres etc.,
laid back because everything I do floats - even when I think I am putting down something which has velocity, it always comes out floating, but then these sounds are not made by the intentionality of Ego, they are made by the Cosmos
masterful.
space is the place.
Mucho magnificence here!
A sonic passport, stamped at every stop. Experience cannot be denied.
I constantly thought of Mercury when creating this ...
Solar secrets gently exposed
: ... it is initiation into the mysteries ... it is Mithraic ..
Raise the torches!
Yes! you choose the right image ... the Kennaz rune ... Roman Ritual ...the birth of tragedy
Fantastic depth, space, breath.
I think percussion can help to give depth [rather than 'beats'].
Sun Ra and the Mahavishnu Orchestra walk into a spagetti western bar...
... summed up in a Guy Peelaert image!
... quite a dramatic and cinematic experience and as a guitar player your perhaps from another world :)))))))))) The use of the guitar and bass guitar is really excellent to create something so far out as this to be honest. Most people would just use keyboards which is all well and good, but the fact how you done this with your guitars mainly is well clever in my book. You have great imagination for this sort of stuff and it's a fine work of art that was most fascinating and intriguing to give a blast and very well enjoyed mate.
What you say about keys is so on the money, and it is why we love the guitar, or the lute or whatever we might call that plucked stringed instrument. I have de-magination too as it is the subconscious which un-guides me. Sound itself is the source and goal, and expressionism the mode.
space jazz's still alive,
lyrics
The fecundity of being and becoming.
Zeus appeared before Europa as a lightning flash
And made the clouds and rain,
Just as meteors storm the cosmos creating worlds anew,
and silver licks the sun into golden hew
