We Are All From Somewhere Else (CD)
"We Are All From Somewhere Else" is comprised of 3 distinct sections, and corresponds to a story involving an exploding star, cosmic transformation, a sting ray, the travels of the sting ray, intelligent conversations with electric eels, the destructive power of humans, the death and ascension of the sting ray, the transformation of sting ray ghost to flying bird, and the transformation of bird to phoenix to rocket to flying burning matter to a new-born star. The overall organic approach included actual organic sounds -- for example, the sounds of electric eels recorded by Mazurek at INPA research laboratory in Manaus. The juxtaposition of two drums, two basses, two mallets, multiple flutes, two coronets, bass clarinet, ARP synthesizer, guitar, trombone, voices and flugelhorn all played important roles in the development of the final sound. Group is led by Rob Mazurek (Chicago Underground, Isotope 217), and includes Nicole Mitchell (Frequency, Black Earth Ensemble), John, Johnny and Jeff from Tortoise, and a number of other prominent Chicago improvisers.
