Listening Position is proud to present the first official reissue of this cosmic masterpiece. Originally recorded in 1993 for the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, African Skies stands as one of the few official releases outside of Cohran’s seminal work in the 1960s with The Sun Ra Arkestra and The Artistic Heritage Ensemble.
Cohran drew upon his research of the celestial, spiritual and ancestral throughout these compositions. Beguiling and gently psychedelic, the performances weave together themes of transcendence and the magnitude of the universal unknown. The instrumentation is entirely unique, with two double basses, two harps and a world of percussion laying the foundation for melodic explorations of cornet, voice and the Frankiphone – Cohran’s hand-built, ethereal-sounding electrified Kalimba .
This edition – sourced from the original DAT recording – is mastered and cut by Josh Bonati, with audio restoration by Michael Graves.
