Introductions to the cosmos

Abstract or Summary

Introductions to the Cosmos is the debut studio album by Dr. Mesmer's Private Army. Originally conceived as a live performance ensemble, this group usually creates long-form improvisations in conjunction with live multimedia projection art. This album sees a shift to shorter compositional forms, developed in the studio through a collaborative process where titles inspired pictures, and pictures inspired music. TRACKS: 1. A way for the universe to know itself 2. Shining feebly by reflected sunlight 3. All that is or was or ever will be 4. A slowly dawning awareness 5. An inconspicuous point of light against the citadel of the stars 6. You must first invent the universe 7. A very small stage in a vast cosmic arena 8.
