Derek Bailey

The spaces, and the cracks between the spaces.  Somewhere they exist. Somewhere In them lies this trio of sound magicians known as Modular Set. Imagine this: A landscape filled with lush rapidly growing plant life, watered by the vapors of Sun Ra and photosynthesized by This Heat of a Crimson Can. Would not these plants make the tastiest of treats? Modular Set is movement forward, and their music are the cracks that fills the spaces, filling them all with the sound of the future.

"Soft Machine rowing Sun Ra’s Arkestra through the dissonant mindful multi-colored cloud-sea atmosphere of the 4th dimensional planet Arcturus. Spontaneous perfection!"  – KZSU Stanford
