Hartmut Geerken. Jaap BlonkAls Musiker ist Blonk Autodidakt. Er studierte Mathematik, Physik, und Musikwissenschaft, ohne sein Studium jedoch abzuschließen. Aushilfsarbeiten in – wie Blonk es nennt – well-organized systems wie Büros provozierten in ihm als Reaktion eine Neigung zu dadaistischen Aktionen.
Blonk begann, Saxophon zu spielen, zu komponieren und Lyrik zu rezitieren. Blonk spezialisierte sich auf Aufführungen von Lautpoesie, wobei er seine Begeisterung für die Improvisation einfließen lässt. Er ist Gründer und Leiter von Splinks, eines 15-köpfigen Ensembles, das im Grenzbereich zwischen Neuer Musik, Computermusik und Free Jazz operiert, und des Avantgarde-Rock-Trios BRAXTAAL.

Sun Ra on the myth of "Freedom" - Breaking Open The Head. The following is a lengthy transcript of a lecture Sun Ra gave in 1979. I have a partial audio recording of the 70 minute lecture unfortunately my copy cuts at 58 minutes, but I posted some good moments below.
The topics covered are uncannily appropriate to alot of what has come up on this message board in the past couple of seasons. Sun Ra speaking in 1979: I’m talking about equations. For a long time, the world has dwelt on faith, beliefs, Possibly dreams. And the truth. And the kind of world you’ve got today is a world that’s based on those particular things. Now, I’m talking about equations. The Singing Sun. Have you ever wondered what the Sun would sound like if you could hear it? Our Sun lies 93,000,000 miles away, surrounded by the vacuum of space. Sound won't travel through space, of course. But with the right instrument, scientists can "hear" pulsations from the Sun. The entire Sun vibrates from a complex pattern of acoustical waves, much like a bell. If your eyes were sharp enough, you could see a bell's surface jiggle in complex patterns as the waves bounced around within it.
Likewise, astronomers at Stanford University can record acoustical pressure waves in the Sun by carefully tracking movements on the Sun's surface. The Sun's acoustical waves bounce from one side of the Sun to the other in about two hours, causing the Sun's surface to oscillate, or wiggle up and down. The Sun's sound waves are normally at frequencies too low for the human ear to hear. Scientists can learn much about the Sun's complex interior by tracking and deciphering it's sound waves.

Sacvs Interview with Michael Ray of the Sun Ra Arkestra « Sound Colour Vibration (Music | Art | Film) Sacvs Interview with Michael Ray of the Sun Ra Arkestra We are very proud to present the following interview with New Orleans resident and the Intergalactic Research Tone Scientist for the innovative and legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, Michael Ray. Michael Ray plays trumpets amongst many other instruments and has played and written material for many Kool & The Gang albums.
He has toured constantly for over 40 years in various groups and is on close to a 100 albums. His tenure with Sun Ra presented a life long journey of sound that Michael Ray and the rest of the Arkestra is still keeping alive. You have been playing in the Sun Ra Arkestra since the late 70′s, how and where did you meet Sun Ra? I met Sun Ra at a festival in Phila. Your trumpet playing comes through beautiful on the Sun Ra masterpiece Lanquidity, how was the rehearsals for this album and how long did it take to prepare? The Lanqiudity sessions was done in NY on the Phila Jazz label. The spirit of Sun Ra is omnipresent. Erik Otis.

Martinelli Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Sun Ra's Background, Overview of Stylistic Traits, and Important Arkestra Members Chapter 3: The Cosmic-Myth Equations of Sun Ra Chapter 4: Musical Manifestations of Sun Ra's Equations Conclusion Appendix: Discography References Cited Sun Ra is a composer, bandleader, and multi-keyboardist who has led his own big band, called the Arkestra, for nearly 35 years. The purpose of this study is to look into this philosophy and to see how it has influenced specific musical elements. There are several precedents in the ethnomusicological literature for this type of study. All of the above studies are concerned with cultural conceptions. This study is different from the ones cited above in that it seeks to examine a unique and comprehensive philosophy of life and existence that is held by a musician who, though concerned with his own people, feels himself as apart from humanity.
Joachim E. W. Sun Ra's Background. Sun Ra and his Arkestra Live at the Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival 1972-74. Sun Ra Arkestra Wake Up Angels Art Yard Art Yard Records has been releasing some of the best Sun Ra Arkestra recordings under one roof in recent years. With a close relationship to the band and a patience and understanding for the overall vision of what Ra and his colleagues have set in foundation, every Art Yard project related to Sun Ra is given the highest attention to detail for research, packaging and quality of materials.
Many of the 70′s period Sun Ra studio and live album reissues were much needed additions to the modern digital age and the expanding fan base of young and new listeners for Ra’s legacy. This year has marked the arrival of a very special collection in Art Yard’s Sun Ra catalog: the reintroduction of monumental and pivotal performances with Wake Up Angels: Sun Ra and his Arkestra Live at Ann Arbor Jazz and Blues Festival 1972-74. John Sinclair and Peter Andrews were the people responsible for organizing and presenting the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz festival events. Sun Ra Arkive. Www.bigomagazine.com/cdcvrsB/images121/SUNRAxmas/SUNRAxmas.pdf. Sun Ra: Space is the Place w/ Marshall Allen | iCrates. Sun Ra was born Herman P. Blount on May 22, 1914, in Birmingham, Alabama, but this is something he categorically denied, even in his later years.
To that end, on May 30th 1993 he did not die but returned to his home planet Saturn. A Jazz pianist, band-leader and philosopher Sun Ra was a law unto himself, and has subsequently become one of the most iconic performers of the 20th century. iCrates was lucky enough to talk with long time disciple and leader of the current Sun Ra Arkestra Marshall Allen about the music and his time under Ra’s direction. But first, Sun Ra… Adapting a childhood nickname Sonny, he built an elaborate mythology around himself as a messenger from outer space.
He carried many with him along his voyage and a devoted core of fifteen disciples by his side, most still playing as The Sun Ra Arkestra. Ra claimed to have been abducted by aliens in his teenage years, who revealed to him the secrets of the universe. Sun Ra – “Face the Music/ Space is the Place” And why not? Space: Still the Place - THE GIG. Sun Ra would have turned 96, in earth years, last Saturday. Marshall Allen, who has led the Sun Ra Arkestra for some 15 years (and played in its ranks for more than 50), turns 86 today. According to recent custom, Allen and the band will perform a birthday gig, in their hometown of Philadelphia, under the aegis of the Ars Nova Workshop. In honor of all of this, here is a piece I wrote for a Style magazine in Philly last year, which provided me with a pretext for interviewing both George Clinton and Maurice White for the first time.
There are worlds, and there are worlds. For the visionary composer, keyboardist, philosopher, bandleader and intergalactic traveler known as Sun Ra, the planet was a way station, and music was both a vessel and a channel. So is it any wonder that in the 16 years since Sun Ra’s departure, his influence has rippled across so many borders of culture and genre? Sun Ra was born Herman Poole Blount in Birmingham, Alabama on May 22, 1914. Scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-04292008-173116/unrestricted/mymusiciswords.pdf. Sun Ra Sunday. Sun Ra Sunday. Sun Ra: Media Dreams (Saturn/Art Yard 2CD) Sun Ra: Sound Mirror (Side B) (Saturn LP>CDR) Obviously pleased with the Horo Voice Studio recordings, Sun Ra lined up some live gigs for the quartet, touring Italy until at least January 23, 1978, where they performed at Teatro Cilak in Milan and recorded Disco 3000 (Saturn CMIJ 78).
There were other concerts during the intervening weeks, as documented on two other Saturn LPs, Media Dream (Saturn 1978) and Side B of Sound Mirror (Saturn 19782) but the actual dates and locations for these recordings are unknown (see Campbell & Trent pp.247-249). Originally issued in miniscule numbers, these three albums are some of the rarest and most desirable El Saturn LPs in existence. In fact, most of the tracks on original Media Dream are not to be found on the concert recording contained in the Art Yard reissue and those tracks were significantly edited for the official release. Sun Ra Sunday. Sun Ra & His Arkestra Featuring Pat Patrick: “A Blue One” / “Orbitration in Blue” (Saturn SRA-999) Recorded at the Choreographer’s Workshop, New York City, early-1962.Originally released late-1964.
This super-obscure seven-inch 45-RPM single was discovered too late to appear on Evidence’s The Singles (ECD 22164) (1996) and that’s too bad because it’s a stunner and it remains sadly out of print. Note that Arkestra stalwart, Pat Patrick receives a rare co-billing on the disc’s label; well, his spectacular baritone saxophone playing on these two Choreographer’s Workshop tracks suitably justifies the honorific. Laurdine “Pat” Patrick was born November 23, 1929 in East Moline, Illinois and was the first of several graduates of Captain Walter Dyett’s DuSable High School who would fall in with Sun Ra in Chicago after around 1950. (For more information on Captain Dyett, see Szwed, pp.87-89, 94 and George E. Pat Patrick once said, “Sun Ra was another kind of being. Sun Ra Sunday. Sun Ra: The Red Garter, New York City circa. July, 1970 (AUD CDR)According to photographer Lee Santa, Sun Ra’s Arkestra played a three-night engagement at The Red Garter (now known as The Bottom Line) in Greenwich Village in early July, 1970.
The nightclub’s “obtrusive Gay ‘90s décor” can be seen in Santa’s photograph (above) which appeared on the original cover of The Solar Myth Approach, Vol.1. Santa recalled that “the first night featured six hours of continuous music; the second and third nights slacked off to a mere five hours, without a break” (see Campbell & Trent, p.161-162). It must have been something to behold. Fortunately, an intrepid fan surreptitiously recorded a seventy-five minute segment one night utilizing a very primitive recording device and, while the sound quality is typically horrid, the music itself is terrific.
How bad does it sound? What follows is one of the strangest bits of musical-theater in all of Ra’s discography. SUN RA - PLEIADES. Jazz Reviews: When Angels Speak of LoveSun Ra — By Bill Shoemaker.
