In 1954, Brion Gysin, writer, painter, inventor of the dream machine and favourite collaborator of William Burroughs, launched his 1001 Nights club in Tangier. In his mythic restaurant that stayed opened only a few months, Gysin invited the best traditional Moroccan musicians to perform all night long. The first CD of this document is what the lucky customers of the interzone could hear at the time: a varied selection of pure traditional and trance music.
A decade before Brian Jones brought this timeless music to the world, this is a unique document recorded by the inventor of the cut-up method himself, digitally remastered by Brion's recordings heir Ramuntcho Matta. Including Paul Bowles' exclusive introduction.
The second disk of this double CD document is based on a spoken word tape called Dilaloo that is a precise description - written and read in 1956 by Brion Gysin 'Master Brahim' himself - of an initiation ceremony in the village of Jajouka. Ramuntcho added a quiet electronic music background generated by a computer algorithm programme that he created in the Gysin's random permutative spirit.
Between the music of trance and the raw cry of being, we see the Process of transformation at work. Trust your bones & put your faith in the Third Mind!
