A new name is always a great adventure
It is vibration's pioneer,
A cosmic name is the cosmic word
And the Cosmic Word Is The Cosmic Myth
It is the revelation
Beyond life-death and death-life.
(Sun Ra)

Out of every nation
They shall rise..
With the invitation of the sun
To journey through the Outer Darkness
To the Outer Heavens
Of the Intergalactic dawn.

Silence is music.
There are different kinds of silences
In a lesser but not least important sense
Silence is an integral part of all music

This is the Space Age
The age beyond the earth age:
A different direction beyond the gravitations of the past.
This is the Space Age:
The disguised twin of tomorrow
Striking upon the earth with relentless power.
(Sun Ra)

This music is part of another tomorrow It's the music of the sun and the stars.

Astro infinity music is beyond freedom. It is precision, discipline. 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.

Well, I'm not playing Space Music as the ultimate reach anymore. That is, not in the interplanetary sense alone. I'm playing intergalactic music, which is beyond the other idea of space music, because it is of the natural infinity of the eternal universe Eternal.

'Imagination' is a magic carpet Upon which we may soar To distant lands and climes And even go beyond the moon To any planet in the sky, If we came from nowhere here.
Why can't we go somewhere there?

When I arrived on the planet, I always liked music that was together, and that was the most together music I ever heard.
