HOLLEY LONNIE - CD JUST BEFORE MUSIC

Popis - JUST BEFORE MUSIC:
Fans of Sun Ra, take notice - there is a new American original on the scene who hails from Birmingham, Alabama. Lonnie Holley's music is unlike anything we have ever heard, and these recordings are a welcome addition to the continuum of music. This album marks the first time Dust To Digital has taken an artist into a recording studio. Lonnie Bradley Holley was born on February 10, 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama, the seventh of twenty-seven children. Holley did not start making and performing music in a studio nor does his creative process mirror that of the typical musician. His music and lyrics are improvised on the spot and morph and evolve with every event, concert, and recording. In Holley's original art environment, he would construct and deconstruct his visual works, repurposing their elements for new pieces. This often led to the transfer of individual narratives into the new work creating a cumulative composite image that has depth and purpose beyond its original singular meaning. The layers of sound in Holley's music, likewise, are the result of decades of evolving experimentation.
