Alpha Nebula: The Prophecies
Alpha Nebula: The Prophecies
“Alpha Nebula is a unique recording in the Muñoz canon of works that have been released so far. It's the most removed from the traditional idioms and styles of electric guitar music. It's also organized in a unique way. Post-production here is just as important as the inspired moments of the players' collective creation in the studio. After the session, Tisziji's visions were further elaborated through electronic soundscapes that were edited together with the original sessions to create a unified and complex, long-form work that exists in its totality. To compare it to a novel: you can dig the words, sentences, paragraphs and chapters of great writing - but you also must consider the work as a whole. It's the same here with the notes, phrases, and movements in relation to the entire CD. That's a startling development here, unprecedented so far in Tisziji's work: a whole for you to dig. To get the most out of this recording you must put yourself into the whole. Paradoxically: the whole that Tisziji presents for you, you must dig it yourself." —Henry Kaiser
"Whoa! Very intense—asteroids and meteors flying by. Ouch! An honor to be on this ground-breaking date with Tisziji. Totally original guitar playing. Huge universal energy—scary! Actually scary! Music is seldom scary. A real dose of Tisziji Muñoz, visiting places music rarely dares to go." —Ra Kalam Bob Moses
