This is the most "compositional" studio piece I have attempted so far in that the recording process extended beyond a single day and that it involved a large number of instruments used episodically and non-sequentially. Most of the parts were recorded on the first two days with others added during the mixing / listening process as they suggested themselves. Both the form and the individual parts were improvised and the whole has not been edited (cut and/or spliced) within the context of its own "real time". The piece is dedicated to (inspired by) Sun Ra whom I consider to be vastly underrated as a modern composer (I was reading "Space is the Place", his biography, around this time).
