Sun Ra (May 22, 1914 – May 30, 1993) was an amazing American jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player (one of the first to use an electric piano and synthesizers for jazz). He was a poet, and was known for his "cosmic" ideas, large output of music, experimental music and colorful and often dramatic mythical and theatrical performances.
Sun Ra made many recordings of his work, many of which are available for download, and as CDs and classic vinyl LPs. .

The Music

We used our experimental and Artificial Intelligence music software to "listen" to dozens of examples of Sun Ra's work and then programmed it to improvise 11 pieces based on the results.
This collection is prepared in 3 sections, named after visions and theories often described by Sun Ra....
"Up Under Other Stars"
"The Other Side of Time"
"The Alter Destiny"
Performed by:
"The People's Conspiracy Jazz Ensemble"

You can listen to an MP3 introduction to these collections,
"Everything Is Music", with Sun Ra speaking of his philosophy... over original background music/sound.
