The Journey of the Horizontal People

Raven Chacon - The Journey of the Horizontal People

Loup Loup Cafe inspiration is Earth.
She comes up from the ground through the wires and capacitors, speaking directly and indirectly.
Bypassing linear sensibilities.
Loop upon loop.
Polyrythmic, polychordal and endless.
This is Paleo American Jazz.
This can be music to think by.
It is strangely familiar yet otherworldly.
It can help heal you.
Truth: I copy the Coyotes. They taught me to play this way.
 It is Heartspeak.

You can trust me.  
Because. 
I am doctor.

Kronos Quartet is David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello).
