Reviews / Note:

The California desert based psychedelic rock band 3rd Ear Experience will release their next album "The Twilight Sutra" on Space Rock Productions.

Twilight is where night, and day light, blend - a great metaphor for the union of opposites. Twilight is also a deceptive time,  shadows and light play
tricks on your eyes – mind sees things that are not there, and sometimes not seeing things, that are there.  
The word Sutra means a thread of minimum words, with maximum meaning. Many ancient wisdom doctrines are delivered in Sutras.

Twilight Sutra recorded at Star lane studios in the Mojave desert over a period of 15 light-years. It's a sci-fi story. The tale of a Viking boy and
a Celtic priestess living on parallel universes, often sit at the same tree, by the pond, but cannot see each other. At first they begin to merge -
subtly, sharing thoughts in dream sounds. Unbeknown to them on a cosmic level - at the same time, their parallel universes are merging,
causing a twilight of astronomical proportions.  

The Music - The Twilight Sutras, is a rock record blending ancient Celtic, Viking and African music, was composed and arranged in collaboration with
modern/ballet dancers  conjured up in mind, on the dream plane. Robb would mentally build a dancer from the material of dream stuff, and then
allow the dancer to dance across his minds sky, to reveal the choreography. Then he would arrange a piece of music to accompany the flow and
movement of the astral dancer. This little process would happen multiple times per each piece of music. 

Twilight Sutra is constructed for a modern dance ballet, in the way that Lou Harrison the great would supply choreographers with “musical kits”.
Twilight Sutra is composed of clusters of musical ideas that can be re-combined in countless different ways depending on what the choreographer requires.
This process of creating music to a dancer is different than creating music that a dancer interprets. 

This album includes a list of a great players who have made the hi desert their home and have played with us over the 20 years we have lived on the desert.
We are extremely grateful for their love and support in the exquisite relations we shared over the light years. Twilight Sutra is what it is because of their magical voices.
Dr Space (Øresund Space Collective) appears again, dropping colors in the air and writing sweet words on water.
