3RD EAR EXPERIENCE is a new genuine space rock band, recording musical improvisations in the Bobby Furst’s art gallery studio on the outskirts of the Joshua Tree in the Mojave desert.

The line up on this album includes Doug Pinnick of KING'S X fame, Robbi Robb of the African acid rock band TRIBE AFTER TRIBE and synth player Amritakripa, also inherently involved in Indian devotional music.

“Three days of free form jams led on to the debut album 'Peacock Black' which is comprised of four extended jammed tracks. At times being courageously experimental they abandoned formal arrangements and allowed the music to flow in a cosmic sonic dialogue between fellow musicians and stargazers. The result is summing up trance-like and groovy excursions, Kosmische Musik in the Berlin School vein as well as dramatic and otherwordly moments.”

about

Simply put, this album weaves its own magic spell. Each piece is a mystical, impressionistic soundscape, a kaleidoscope of atmospheres that drift and meander like incense smoke caught in candlelight. From the get go, it is perfectly clear that these are excellent musicians at the top of their game, rebellious and unafraid. Wasting no time, the music suddenly bursts into a dense dazzling jam, drawing the listener into a pulsating, rhythmic foundation with no edges to hold on to. Motifs are hurled from one instrument to the next, cleaving idea to idea, from moment to moment, exploding with life and outrageous creativity. It is free music, unfettered and uncontainable. Then we are gently moved off into a more mysterious territory - part ambient, part rock, at times transitory, at times elegantly psychedelic with rhythms that are barely present. Integral to the seemingly loose jams is the musical interplay between the various members, exchanging riffs, whispering melodies ear to ear, weaving themes peaceful and restless, deconstructing tonalities in favor of foreboding ambiances. Building and peaking and returning to silence, these long tracks flow with a consistent spiritual quality that guides the musicians to carve unique musical forms, with finesse an ethereal beauty, from the well mined quarry of space rock.
