Out of stock

Fourth World music made with an arsenal of drum machines, synthesisers and a guitar. A vividly evocative hour of continuous improvisation charting mythical worlds, nature and counterculture. Recorded live in London, July 2019. Reworked in 2021. Numbered edition of 100. Includes a risograph insert with artwork by Eddie Ruscha. An edited excerpt of the Cosmic Harmonics liner notes by Anton Spice: "Eddie Ruscha makes music with an airbrush. He paints with a theremin. He sees colour where others hear sound. He hears sound where others see colour. He is a synaesthetic synthesist, feeling everything but touching nothing. Secret Circuits. Beats in Space. Cabin in the Sky. The window is open at the studio. A salty breeze. Light waves across the floor. Paint flies and Ruscha has the tape head running. It’s Baldelli or nothing out here. A collage of senses overlapping. He take a jam and runs with it. Or better still, drives with it. Out onto the open freeway. Cassettes again. Escapist fantasies. Fantastic ecstasy. Ruscha goes in to head out. Is this a journey with no end in mind, or no mind to end? His are sonic quests for unanswered questions. An epiphany for Future Days. The ground shook when he first heard Can. Ambient oscillations, ritual experimentations. No conventional classification. Alive improvisation."
