They Say Humans Exist / David Rothenberg, Sidiki Camara, Jacob Young / OSR007
On one long day in the wooded hills outside Oslo at Øystein Sevåg’s Blueberry Field Studios, we improvised the music you now hear. Hopefully you get the mixture of cultures and traditions by three musicians listening at the edge of the worlds they know, towards an in-between-state that no one has heard before now. We don’t care about where to pigeonhole this music. We have come together from all over the world, and made something new together out of the moment.
Far away on other planets the aliens just might be listening,
tuning into the sounds of a distant place called Earth. Their techn-ologies are picking up an amalgamation of all music, the blending of sounds North and South, known and unknown. They say hu-mans exist, but no one can be sure. Until they detect our music. Then they know.
