Immerse yourself in the melodic realm of 'Bass Cathedral', where jazz not only permeates the air but shapes reality itself. Follow the avant-garde journey of the formerly known Mystic Horn Society, now Molimo m'Atet, as they prepare their captivating new album 'Orphic Bend'. Amidst the enticing rhythms and rehearsals, a bizarre incident strikes the ensemble during a test pressing of the album. Aunt Nancy's bass solo mysteriously conjures a balloon from the grooves of the vinyl, heralding a cryptic dream message. The story spirals into the surreal through the epistles of N., penned to the elusive Angel of Dust, revealing the mutable lives of musicians intertwined with their art. This fourth volume in Nathaniel Mackey's unending literary composition 'From a Broken Bottle Traces of Perfume Still Emanate' ushers readers through a phantasmagoric tapestry of thought, music, and socio-political undercurrents. In a world where the music seems to dictate life, the band members grapple with cowrie shell attacks, disruptive socio-political forces, and the daunting task of reviving the Hotel Didjeridoo. With a lexicon as melodic as the subject it portrays, 'Bass Cathedral' delivers an anthem of myth, music, and transcendent narrative that resonates with the harmony of existence.
