Here's some fire music for ya - music for the Kali Yuga,
sounds to scorch the earth clean! This is the first release
for the quartet of Micah O' Malley (tenor saxophone), Mark
Brumwell (alto clarinet), Joseph Burke (electric bass) and
Nathan Collins (drums).
BIO:
Solar Dynasty came together in 1995 in Florida, joining forces
out of mutual admiration for the fervor of John Coltrane as
well as shared interests in investigating everything from
speaking in tongues to transcending the space - time
continuum.
In 1996, they moved to Boston and began to eliminate
everything from daily life which might prove to be an obstacle
from being able to make great music. They played in a
clandestine environment every day for 5 years with a mission
of removing ego driven thought from musical expression. When
they did finally surface in public, it was to travel across
the country and take part in a Sundara Kanda (musical
celebration highlighting the exploits of Lord Hanuman taken
from the Ramayana). After spending nine days and nights
(Navaratri) immersed in the worship of Kali the Divine Mother,
they decided that it was time for a change.
Renouncing everything except for musical instruments, they
lived in the hills of Northern California to study Vedic
rituals. After initiation into the tribe of Saraswati they
left for a life on the road which has led them to travel to
the four corners of the earth. With Arrows in the Quiver,
Solar Dynasty hits a bulls-eye into the heart of energy music.
