For those who maintain the more mutable dance music is, the deeper its impact on human evolution, American record label RVNG Intl. presents We Are Not The First, an Epic conducted and deconstructed by Chicago artist Hieroglyphic Being and the J.I.T.U. Ahn-Sahm-Bul.
We Are Not The First combines the musical forces of Marshall Allen, Daniel Carter, Greg Fox, Shelley Hirsch, Shahzad Ismaily, Elliott Levin, Jamal Moss, Rafael Sanchez and Ben Vida in deep dialogue with each other and humans’ hidden sonic history. An album with an active brain, We Are Not The First aspires to reprogram the mind, to transcend our expectations through bugged-out percussion, modular mayhem, flurries of free improvisation, and voices carrying through the air.
This is an 11-part Epic and each track is a movement therein that testifies: an ensemble’s vitality lives in its collectivity. The album will be released on October 30, 2015, as a limited edition double LP, CD and digital formats.
