Burlington Vermont-based experimental music collective born out of the ideas of Sun Ra and John Cage. Their music ranges from ambient to minimalist to post rock to industrial and is entirely improvised. The jams are based around a single prepared piano and involve a revolving cast of accompanying instruments and musicians. Using that piano, found objects, electric guitar and bass, a shakuhachi, a saxaphone, upright bass, synthesizer, jaw harps, meditation bells, analog tape loops, and other supplementary percussion instruments, they create surreal soundscapes meant to evoke imagery of space travel. The music is set to the narrative/illustrated images in the artist book/double album Space Place by artist and band leader Paul Ouellette. The album's production and design is floating in limbo and has yet to be completed. The musicians featured on the album are: Paul Ouellette Aaron Wight Ian Downs Shane Kerr Wren Kitz Amr Kashmiri Craig Walsh Maxe Mazelis and a cast of others that will be added when the tracks are finalized <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Space+Place+Ensemble">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
