Harnetty, Brian - The Star-Faced One (From The Sun Ra/El Saturn Archives) CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
ALP402
“Brian Harnetty's The Star-Faced One travels the peculiarities and particularities of a collection of interplanetary fragment-gems: the Sun Ra/El Saturn Collection in the Creative Audio Archive at ESS.
His excursion into this unsystematic cache of rehearsal tapes, recitations, studio recordings, concert documents, and unlabeled appropriations, accidentally handed down to us through an unforgiving yet generous history, stakes no claim to Sun Ra's legacy--something which speaks for itself over and over again--but instead takes a joyful listener's 'cosmic pathway' into its own unique imagistic swirl.
Brian and his musical collaborators proceed in a spirit of serious play, respectful intrusion, and insistent openness, releasing hi-, lo-, and mid-fi sounds from the past into a new future of revelatory listening.”
