"One measures a circle, beginning anywhere." - Charles Fort

Marshall Allen - ‘New Dawn’ - Week-End Records - Composed by Marshall Allen / Arranged by Knoel Scott. The album is described as “a love letter to spacetime that channels a century of musical transience and transcendence into seven outer dimensional tracks.”

Astro infinity music is beyond freedom. It is precision, discipline. It is not just freedom. It is coordination and sound interdependence. It is the design of another world. It has nothing to do with the traditions of yesterday, today or the future.

Source: NPR. Inspiration can spark in the most mundane circumstances. In 1964, a young composer named Terry Riley was on his way to work — playing ragtime piano at San Francisco’s Gold Street Saloon — when he had a light bulb moment that would alter the American musical landscape.
