': ,: :, : William Parker first worked with Ms. Mendoza on a project : :' entitled Thunder and Flowers for his July 2019 residency at The ': ,: Stone in NYC. Her prodigious talents have illuminated many :, : projects and recordings as both leader and collaborator over the : :' past decade.

William Parker is in vibrant :, : grandmaster blossom here on double bass û in both pizzicato & : :' bow-as-prism modes. ': ,: :, : Regarding the album title, Parker offers: ôMayan Space Station : :' is a conduit for peace and inspiration. It is an oasis where ': ,: sound and silence navigators stop for sustenance to replenish :, : their imaginations. It is a fictional reality that is important : :' to the myth structure of the Tone World chronicle. In a way, ': ,: musicians, and definitely these particular musicians, Ava :, : Mendoza and Gerald Cleaver, belong to the blood line of sonic : :' travelers who, as Sun Ra described it, ætravel the space ways.Æ ': ,: Re-inventing the process, allowing music to flow through their :, : instruments.ö : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 1 \/
