“this music is all apart of another tomorrow, another kind of language, speaking things of nature, naturalness, the way it should be, speaking things of blackness, about the void, the endless void, the bottomless pit surrounding you, why doesn’t the Earth fall, how can you walk upon it, it’s the music, it’s the music of the Earth, the music of the sun and the stars, the music of yourself, vibrating, yes, you are music too, you are instruments, everyone is supposed to be playing their part, in this vast Arkestry of the cosmosâ€. Sun Ra (1974)
