Inside the Light World: Sun Ra Meets the OVC CD / Album
by Sun Ra
CD / Album
Description
This extraordinary album unveils previously unreleased recordings from the year 1986 for the very first time, showcasing a unique chapter in the Sun Ra catalogue. Crafted by the forward-thinking technological innovator and rocket scientist, Bill Sebastian, during the mid-1970s, the Outer Space Visual Communicator (OVC) stood as a groundbreaking invention. Instead of producing traditional sound, this keyboard-triggered 'instrument' harnessed the power of light, casting mesmerising kaleidoscopic, multicoloured patterns onto a screen suspended above performers on stage. Ra first performed with the idiosyncratic fractal light projector in the late '70s and, in 1986, two grainy VHS tapes surfaced featuring Ra performing 'Calling Planet Earth' and 'Sunset On The Nile', both accompanied by the OVC's radiant light painting.
