Sun Ra: Brother From Another Planet

Full documentary from the BBC4


Sun Ra was born on the planet Saturn some time ago. The best accounts agree that he emerged on Earth as Herman Blount, born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1914, although Sun Ra himself always denied that Blount was his surname. He returned to Saturn in 1993 after creating a stunningly variegated and beautiful assemblage of earthly and interplanetary music, most notably with his fervently loyal Arkestra.

Sun Ra and his Arkestra were the subject of a few documentary films, notably Robert Mugge's 'A Joyful Noise' (1980), which interspersed performances and rehearsals with Sun Ra's commentary on various subjects ranging from today's youth to his own place in the cosmos.

Today's documentary, Don Letts' 'Sun Ra, Brother From Another Planet' from 2005, reuses some of Mugge's material and includes some additional interviews.

Bruce Munro -- Field of Light

"The red desert had an incredible feeling of energy; ideas seemed to radiate from it along with the heat. The field of light installation was one idea that landed in Bruce’s sketch book and refused to dislodge from his mind."

BEAST (expired magazine)

“BEAST is the only true inspiration in the worldwide boring web. Beast is the fusion between print and web. BEAST is a magazine, a book, a lifestyle, an insult, a religion. BEAST is overrated and undervalued. BEAST is good, bad and ugly. BEAST is the bible of inspiration. BEAST is the end of the web. BEAST is for frustrated and bored web/print designers out there who work in small, dark offices and limit their life in totally overrated advertising / media agencies. Beast is against boring design, against everyday design that penetrates our precious life. Of course. BEAST is also a good read for uncreative creative directors.”
