Brian Harnetty and company play/sample/improvise with rare Sun Ra recordings.

Brian Harnetty's The Star-Faced One travels the peculiarities and particularities of a collection of
interplanetary fragment-gems: the Sun Ra/El Saturn Collection in the Creative Audio Archive at
ESS.

His excursion into this unsystematic cache of rehearsal tapes, recitations, studio recordings,
concert documents, and unlabeled appropriations, accidentally handed down to us through an
unforgiving yet generous history, stakes no claim to Sun Ra's legacy--something which speaks
for itself over and over again--but instead takes a joyful listener's 'cosmic pathway' into its own
unique imagistic swirl.

Brian and his musical collaborators proceed in a spirit of serious play,
respectful intrusion, and insistent openness, releasing hi-, lo-, and mid-fi sounds from the past
into a new future of revelatory listening.
