Full Lecture Reading List From His 1971 UC Berkeley Course

A pioneer of “Afrofuturism,” bandleader Sun Ra emerged from a traditional swing scene in Alabama, touring the country in his teens as a member of his high school biology teacher’s big band. While attending Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, he had an out of body experience during which he was transported into outer space. As biographer John Szwed records him saying, “my whole body changed into something else. I landed on a planet that I identified as Saturn.” While there, aliens with “little antenna coque samsung a5 2017 gateau on each ear. A little antenna on each eye” instructed him to drop out of college and speak through his music. And that’s just coque samsung galaxy s9 plus animaux what he did, changing his name from Herman Blount and never looking back.

Whether you believe that story, whether Sun Ra believes it, or whether his entire persona is a theatrical put on should make no difference. Because Sun Ra would be a visionary either way. Combining Afrocentric science fiction, esoteric and occult philosophy, Egyptology, and, with his “Arkestra,” his own brand of free jazz futurism that has no equal on earth, the man is truly sui generis. Listen to Sun Ra spin his intricate, bizarrely otherworldly theories, drawn from his personal philosophy, peculiar etymologies, and idiosyncratic readings of religious texts. Hearing him speak is a little like hearing him play, so be prepared for a lot of free association and jarring, unexpected juxtapositions. Szwed describes a “typical lecture” below:

Sun Ra wrote biblical quotes on the board and then ‘permutated’ them rewrote and transformed their letters and syntax into new equations of meaning, while members of the Arkestra passed through the room, preventing anyone from taping the class. His lecture subjects included Neoplatonic coque iphone 7 avec chargeur doctrines; the application of ancient history and religious texts to racial problems; pollution and war; and a radical reinterpretation of the Bible in light coque samsung s10 aimantee of Egyptology.

Luckily for us, some sly student captured one coque samsung a6 coeur of those lectures on tape.

Space Jazz, a Sonic Sci Fi Opera by L. In my wildest dreams, how was I to know I would encounter coque mikey de samsung a5 2017 the live voice of Sun Ra today and become at once, a student of his, and hanging on his every word. Thank you. coque samsung galaxy s8 I saw Sun Ra only twic and although some might say, twice ought to be meilleur coque iphone 8 plus enough. It was the being in the presence of this man and his Arkestra that counted most, that I can say in honesty, I was there. I saw him living and breathing and performing live at two Jazz clubs in NYC when I was young and he was going strong. I am a visual artist. I know little about the mechanics of music, although I have studied Oriental philosophy and Western philosophy, Sun Ra spin on philosophy, I find fascinating to say the least. I need to replay and notate and rethink and digest and come to my own conclusions about the statements and declarations he made that day this recording was made, almost half a century ago, coque iphone 6s transparente avec des dessins and make some comprehensive sense of how it fits into my own bi racial philosophy and understanding of the meaning of life. If only I could hear Sun Ra sing, “Stars Fell on Alabama,” or “I Dream to Much,” it would be as if the icing had been put on the cake, the cherry on the sundae and the dream realized all at once. Thank you for writing and presenting this article with the coque audi samsung s10 rare audio lecture, and now I must return to the everyday, return to earth from the cosmos.

I recommend you get in touch with the Hinds brothers, who published a Sun Ra Research, for a decade or so().

They spent as much time as they possibly could with Sun Ra, recorded interviews and basically everything the man said. They in San Francisco. It fascinating reading. Whenever they couldn understand him, they wrote, “undecipherable.” It happened a lot, but you surely would get the gist of what the man was puttin down.

I love Sun Ra. I first saw him in 1980 in Houston. The music was spectacular. coque huawei p8 Seeing coque iphone 7 zadig him and the Arkestra perform changed my life. It was live performance/life performance. After seeing them, I understood that I need to be in the room when art/music/life happens. It only by being in the room that you enter into a shared organism/experience with the performers. I so damn glad I was coque iphone 5s freestyle 20 when it happened. It was an early incorporation into my system of living. by talking about Sun Ra.)I have met and talked w/ le Sun Ra , He was the most gracious man i ve EVER met. I experienced him and June and Marshall and all of the singers and players of coque samsung s8 360 miroir instruments of the ARKESTRA on three separate occasions…
