Muhal Richard Abrams - Celestial Birds (Karl Records)

The compilation “Celestial Birds” reveals and focuses on the widely unkown electronic compositions of the AACM founder and jazz pianist MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS. #5 in the Perihel Series, curated by zeitkratzer director REINHOLD FRIEDL. Anybody interested in jazz knows that Chicago has always been an impressive hot spot for new talents – and still is. One essential landmark in the history and development of jazz was the founding of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) in May 1965. This non-profit organization was a melting pot (and starting point) for artists like ANTHONY BRAXTON, ROSCOE MITCHELL, GEORGE LEWIS or LESTER BOWIE and his ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO but one of its actual founding members is known only to the deep connaisseurs: MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS (1930 – 2017). The autodidact pianist and composer left music school and university, deciding to learn music by himself. From 1961 on, the EXPERIMENTAL BAND was his first ensemble, but it soon turned out that ABRAMS‘ interests went beyond jazz and that he was open to the avant-garde and new music and most of all: electronic music. Which led to a double problem: On the one hand, black musicians had almost no access to the rare electronic music studios located in and funded by universities or broadcasting corporations. On the other hand, there were strong reservations regarding electronic music in the black music community. In his important book “A Power Stranger Than Itself – The AACM and American Experimental Music” GEORGE LEWIS writes that “the use of electronics … proved controversial and widely misunderstood in a world of jazz in which acoustic instruments became conflated with musical, and eventually, cultural and even racial authenticity.” ABRAMS‘ response was to actually „hide“ his electronic pieces on the B-sides of his albums, and this compilation focuses on some of his best electronic experiments: the 22-minute long epic „The Bird Song“ from 1968 in its original version incl. the reverb that was removed on the later CD reissue on DELMARK, the synthesizer compositions „Conversations With The Three Of Me” (1989) and “Think All, Focus One” 1995) plus “ Spihumonesty” (1980) with a 2nd synthesizer played by GEORGE LEWIS and YOUSEF YANCEY on theremin.

“Celestial Birds” casts a new light on the underrated experimenter MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS, his innovative approach to composition and pieces that lay dormant for way too long!

i wonder

what is Pavo's thoughts/bonds with the other birds

Pavo gets along well with most of the birds, though Apus is a bit of an exception (I’m still working on the design); the two are constantly competing to see who is the most ✨️fabulous✨️ and who can impress Tucana first xD

Pavo has great respect for Phoenix ​​and Grus—he's very fond of them and always listens to their advice, as they act like the mother and father figures of the bird group

He's close friends with Corvus and Columba ( @myluckymoon oc); he loves hanging out with the two of them and hearing all the gossip about Earth lol

Finally, there is one thing to keep in mind: don't mention Aquila or Cygnus to him—Pavo gets genuinely sad whenever he hears anything about them :[

So what you said about the gays helping emiko with her feelings for Ivan ( which I love )

Which gave me an idea- the gays judging relationships of the humans. Like for example if someone is believing in them for advice but they are with who has cheated on them like thrice and still wants to be with them, or their relationship is just supper toxic. Que the gays exchanging looks and or them watching mortals and judging them for their terrible love lives.

Now I have a saying " Your love life is so bad that colomba had to open his eye to make sure he was seeing it properly" or smth like that

Now another idea- The celestial birds having a gossip session. And of course the gays come in with the juiciest love/couple drama ever like they never disappoint

Ok I'll disappear now *fades into moon dust*

This is so perfect, actually, I'm imagining Columba's expression seeing all the absurdities on Earth xD

And in the birds' gossip session, Apus and Pavo absolutely love listening to the dramas that Corvus and Columba have to tell. Phoenix tries to reject this, but she also loves a good gossip; she just won't admit it xD
