Roberto Opalio Aurora Coelestis

Two instantaneous compositions for glockenspiel and voice by one half of outside space duo My Cat Is An Alien, recorded March 2014 in homage to early minimalism, intended to be listened to at low volume, quietly in a room. These “incredible glides through the darkest recesses of [the] solar system,” says Byron Coley, “extend celestial glimmering into eruptive plains of infinity. Cosmic burbles worthy of Gong mix with expansive tones…. Beautiful, cold and deep. It will make all of your bones feel very soft. The third piece, ‘Hic et Nunc’, a piece for manipulated vocals ... is like being sucked through a long tube that lights up and resonates as you pass [through]. Alien lips quiver nearby and you can smell a kind of breath you have never smelled before. It’s a wonderful trip through bubble time…” Tri-fold jacket made of heavy transparent blue textured cardboard; 12”x16” color folded cover / insert; liner notes; download card. Each copy has one of three different 4”x6” original photographs Roberto Opalio mounted on back, representing diverse perspectives of the glockenspiel during the session. Handstamped, hand-numbered edition of 200.
