corum


"star of wonder, star of night, star of royal beauty bright; Westward leading, still proceeding: guide me through my darkest night. guide me to the perfect light."

Corum: solo piano/ fountain music / post Guatemala

released in 2012 as tour only cassette in addition of 50 for Beguiling Isles Sundance Tour w/ 3 Moons Jefferson Zurna. released 09 April 2013

por fin tengo en mis manos esta cajita blanca e inmaculada, la segunda parte de aquel primer vinilo que era la banda sonora de un cortometraje hecho con imágenes de sus giras. aunque siempre me hago un lío con Lost Discoveries, Isoam y Sonic Meditations, sí puedo decir que Corum es Grant Corum de Million Brazilians y artífice de ese sello mágico llamado Psychic Sounds en el que el año pasado se había editado, al alimón con Isoam, uno de los discos más fascinantes habidos y por haber, Celestrial Stairway aka Bill Doob aka Inspired School of Astral Music. y claro, como Bill Doob, Corum también es de otro planeta. nunca las palabras orgánico, balsámico y submarino fueron tan tan merecidas. tal vez Clime, Journey of Mind, Valerio Cosi y todo lo que edita Taped Sounds y Worn habit. tal vez las cintas subterráneas de Vodka Soup y la definitiva conexión con los lugares inventados de Spencer Clark. las percusiones y ese saxo estratosférico que parece un remolino no pueden ser más dulces, las flautas, las trompetillas y los bongos camuflados bajo mullidísimas notas de sintetizador... todos esos colores y no colores. ¿hay algo más agradable en el mundo que lo que ocurre a partir del minuto 12:36 de la cara a?. detrás de estos sonidos exóticos y extraños, inmersos en mil imágenes tropicales borrosas, hay algo honesto, algo real que cuenta que toda la belleza del mundo se esconde en una isla cualquiera, en una mañana cualquiera. música que siempre será un respiro.

inspired school of astral music


"the music on this cassette is recommended to be used in conjunction with a Light Excluding Mask (LEM) and experienced with headphones on in a tranquil environment. journey beyond forced reality to your inner mind space and explore it. pay attention to what you encounter. this cassette is a tool to help you enter your personal Enhanced Lucid Realm (ELR). there are no restrictions to what you can achieve." isam

"the source of all music is universal. the realms of astral music are manifold; a natural hierarchy exists organically."



"good for you, Stalker Recall & Inspired School of Astral Music, to not have a web presence. hard for you, fan of alien drone, to procure a copy of this I’m sure. slow descent of UFOs onto the burning front lawns of isolated farmers, crews of loggers returning from work or wave-drunk sea captains. Stalker Recall flow out like a smoother-sounding version of Telecult Powers, the sound is more coalesced, but heavily rooted in the bubbles between oscillations. totally worth the buy if you can find it, but it sounds like something your astral spirit may have to procure." foxy digitalis



"split release with Psychic Sounds. Birthed as Bill Doob, Inspired School of Astral Music is Sam Jones of Million Brazilians, who also played drums in a few Kansas City bands before departing for Portland a few years ago. the synth-driven solo project of Jones' captures minimal synth explorations in the tradition of Brian Eno's "Ambient" series, early New Age explorer's and moments of Terry Riley's tape loop melodies. more of a conceptual project that also features essays with each release and concentrating on deep meditation and out-of-body experiences, ISAM will surely bring the calm, float your brain and drift your body." psychic sounds


"dreams of the void
diverging from a path
where we can find another way"

gnod

"Gnod unleash 2 stellar jams, the first "The Crystal Pagoda", insired by the film "The Invasion Of Thunderbolt Pagoda" which Angus Maclise provided a stunning soundtrack to, Gnod throw down a perpendicular astral jam full chants, hand percussion aligned with a solid bass loop. "Tony's First Disco" takes up side B with a tight, hypnotic lock groove drum and bass beat akin to Faust with Tony Conrad, layered with chants, synths and brass!" sonic meditations
