See Hear Podcast Episode 22 - Space Is The Place - a podcast by Bernard Stickwell, Tim Merrill, Maurice Bursztynski

It’s time for episode 22 of See Hear podcast.

How does music affect you? Are you one of those people whosays that great music can transport you to another place? Jazz musician Sun Ra
felt the same thing, but he meant it a little more literally than most.In this episode of the podcast, Tim, Bernie and Maurice
discuss important issues such as isotope teleportation, transmolecuralisation,and teleporting people from Earth to Saturn via music. Well….they actually
discuss the film released in 1974 written by and starring Sun Ra called “SpaceIs The Place”. Ra was certainly out there with his beliefs that he was born on
Saturn and descended from the Egyptian sun god, Ra. On the other hand, he wasextremely articulate, very well read and philosophically rational Oh….and he
was a true jazz pioneer.The film is a mix of the power of music, blaxploitation and
science fiction as Sun Ra battles the evil Overseer for the right to transportthe Afro-American community from Earth to another planet when he determines
the earth is doomed. He will do this via the power of music. Sounds crazy?Yep…..and yet, nope. The See Hear trio see all sorts of film, literature and
music precedents for this film, and also point out who took on Sun Ra’s legacy.We hope you find it a thought provoking discussion.

So, if you find earth boring, just the same old same thing,come on jump on board the good space ship See Hear for a trip to the outer
