For the first time, a compact version of
Rob Mazurek
's magisterial
Exploding Star Orchestra
-- Exploding Star Orchestra/
Small Unit
-- commits its music to CD. Recorded live at Corbett vs. Dempsey's Chicago gallery space in March, 2023, the six-piece band featured Mazurek on trumpet,
Tomeka Reid
on cello,
Damon Locks
on voice and electronics,
Angélica Sánchez
on Wurlitzer,
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten
on bass, and
Chad Tayloron
drums.
Spectral Fiction
consists of two tracks, the deeply exploratory "Equations of Love in Prismatic Waves of Color," clocking in at nearly 40-minutes, and the super-groovalistic 14-minutes of "Driftless" (a Mazurek-penned melody named after the
Sam Gilliam
exhibition in which the music took place and by which it was inspired). The musicians were already warmed up -- really hot at this point -- by a concert the night before, playing music from their great International Anthem LP
Lightning Dreamers in the Sky Theater
at Chicago's Adler Planetarium. With Locks's incantatory samples and momentum-staked poetry and Reid's incisive pizzicato and arco cello intonations, the band moves through a spectacular range of diverse colors and emotional zones, locking into rolling grooves and opening out onto fields of energy and sound. Often open and investigatory, it's a different side of Mazurek's vision from the eight previous Orchestra releases dating back to 2007, a lighter, more aerodynamic incarnation of the cosmic-conscious ensemble.
