I imagine this Zappa with a marching band & high kicking majorettes at half-time show. Otherwise, at home, scoop up the nearest kitties & dance.

Yes, hypnagogia, a "hypnagogic soundscape", the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep, "borderland state", "half-dream state", "threshold consciousness" phase –hallucinations, lucid thought, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis. Interesting stuff.

"A companion piece to 2018’s Listening To Pictures, this second volume in the pentimento series presents eight new tracks by the music visionary, continuing his lifelong exploration of the possibilities of recombination and musical gene-splicing. Pentimento is defined as the “reappearance in a painting of earlier images, forms, or strokes that have been changed and painted over” and this is evident in the innovative production style that ‘paints with sound’ using overlapping nuances to create an undefinable and intoxicating new palette."

"The Suspended Harp of Babel features revelatory performances of the choral music of Estonian composer Cyrillus Kreek (1889-1962). Kreek’s pieces, incorporating graceful settings of psalms and folk hymns, are juxtaposed here with instrumental fantasias and interludes created for this recording by Marco Ambrosini. Under the direction of Jan-Eike Tulve, the Vox Clamantis choir - whose previous ECM recordings have addressed works of Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Helena Tulve as well as Gregorian chant- prove to be ideal interpreters of a music poised between old and new. The Suspended Harp of Babel was recorded in Tallinn’s Transfiguration Church in August 2018."

"Bandmates that span four decades of Prince's performance and recording career got together virtually for an all-star rendition of 'The Cross,' which they released today "as a message of hope, love and peace."
