"From Detroits techno resistance to Berlins elastic minimalism, Lusakas ancestral futurism to Chicagos house communion, When There Is No Sun is a recording project, uniting visionary electronic music producers to reimagine the universe of Sun Ra.One of the most radical musical pioneers of the 20th century, Sun Ra used jazz, electronics, poetry, and performance to expand the possibilities of sound, identity, and imagination.Commissioned by Omni Sound and curated by Ricardo Villalobos, the series brings together Underground Resistance, Chez Damier & Ben Vedren, Calibre, A Guy Called Gerald, She Spells Doom, Bar K, and Ricardo Villalobos himself. Drawing from Omni Sounds recordings of Living Sky by the Sun Ra Arkestra and My Words Are Music of Sun Ras poetry, the producers pull fragments of sound and text into their own creative orbits, passing through the portal that Sun Ra opened into a realm where the impossible is possible.Saul Williams, Tunde Adebimpe, Mahogany L. Browne, Abiodun Oyewole, Anthony Joseph and Tara Middleton are the featured voices that turn rhyme into rhythm and revelation into resistanceRooted in deep reverence for Sun Ras legacy, yet reaching forward as a living, generative force, When There Is No Sun is not a tribute but a continuum, balancing the pulse of electronic music with the spirit of experimentation, embodying Sun Ras promise that there are other worlds if you are willing to see them."A1)Underground Resistance - The Outer Darkness f.
