about

"Listen to a drama of life set to music."- Yusef Lateef

This research was completed while I was an entity on earth, while vying to be not on earth. It was supported by the main Sustainer and in part by the benevolence of my earthly companions and other earth entities that share their life giving forces freely. The collection of material was generously facilitated by the Sustainer of all that is.

Much of this material was presented in a series of reflections at the University of Life 1920 - 1995. I am grateful to all the participants for granting the use of many things.

Zubatto Syndicate
by Zubatto Syndicate

With a stylish, fold-out image by science-fiction artist Franco Brambilla on the album cover, we are introduced to the world of Zubatto Syndicate – at once quaint, modern, post-modern, and otherworldly. Pastel-toned robots from the future have arrived in 1961, and they are ready to hang out by the lake.
