Sonic Mandala

by Go: Organic Orchestra

supported by

editions vaché The sheer brilliance of Adam Rudolph's ensembles is mind-blowing. Think Don Cherry and Sun Ra stop by Nadia Boulanger's flat to jam.......from intricate rythmic constructions to chamber lamentations-it's all in here, and played brilliantly- especially difficult to retain elasticity in a large ensemble ......ss/tm/am Favorite track: Part One (Invitation).

icastico Intimate improvisations in a large group. Amazing. Favorite track: Part Seven (fast).

about

Sonic Mandala:

Contemplation of a Mandala returns us from the illusion of individual existence into a way of living in resonance with the wholeness of nature. In music we can call this practice Sonic Mandala. In it we generate ostinatos of circularity that play in a synchronized sound weaving of space and motion. Patterns become like design, thought, dialogue, and forms in nature. These over time create momentum; an invitation to join in the shared experience of the lifted moment. ar

Mayan Space Station
by William Parker

After a precision liftoff in Tabasco and setting a course to travel the space ways from planet to planet, the album peels away through a wormhole just past Saturn in the eponymous track Mayan Space Station to journey through time and space in Canyons of Light. eric F

So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start. Hobie Anthony

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
