Miles started it. His work from 1969 on is the apotheosis of electrified expression. That's no surprise--Miles redefined the forms and boundaries of acoustic expression many times--but the fact remains largely unknown. Miles' mode is BASALT's mode: gather the trustworthy, lay down some ground rules, and move around in the constantly expanding space. Miles' alchemy ignored the vernacular and bore no comparison. BASALT is four hours seeking a context where each piece exalts those surrounding. All this music combines to stretch our ears, and to touch our souls through our immersion. Get immersed
