Biography

Based on two radio plays "Zero Sun" and "No Point" by Hartmut Geerken, this incredibly complex performance involves pre-recorded texts/voices of Sun Ra, Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona, Amiri Baraka, Ezra Pound, etc., incorporated into the Art Ensemble of Chicago's music which happened to be the last recording of the late Lester Bowie. The project represents the realization of an old dream: one of the world's largest gong collection of Hartmut Geerken and Famoudou Don Moye's "sun percussion" collection brought together on stage for the first time.
