We’re very excited to announce our first compilation, Quilt of the Universe, available digitally and on limited edition cassette tape, 6/21.
In 1977, NASA launched a 12-inch phonographic record in to space, with the words “To the makers of music—all worlds, all times,” inscribed in the plate. A hundred years earlier in rural Iowa, science teacher Ellen Harding Baker stitched her “Solar System Quilt” to illustrate the known galaxy for her astronomy students. Featuring unreleased tracks by Precious Bryant, Marisa Anderson, Village of Spaces, Jake Xerxes Fussell, and more, the patchwork that is Quilt of the Universe shares these crossed impulses—to blast terrestrial expression into the cosmos, and translate galactic information into an earthly object. It is a constellation of perspectives and interpretations of the story of our respective corners of this world and time, for the listeners of music—all worlds, all times. Learn more | Pre-order
