Kirtan Turiya Sings (Visualizer) - A Divine Journey in Sound and Vision

Alice Coltrane's legendary album "Turiya Sings," recorded during a marathon fifteen-hour session in 1981, holds a mythical status in her catalogue. Initially released in 1982 on privately-pressed cassette for her Vedantic Center's students, this masterpiece remained largely hidden from the world, circulating only on bootleg cassettes. The 2017 Luaka Bop compilation of Coltrane’s ecstatic music notably excluded any tracks from "Turiya Sings".

Now let us leap forward a little and have enter Justin French, who has breathed new visual life into these enigmatic recordings, adding a me-dative additional dimension that amplifies the power of this music as it massages your mind through the screen. With the re-release of "Kirtan: Turiya Sings" as a (Visualizer), we are not only treated to the sonic brilliance of Alice Coltrane but also to a visual narrative that enhances the experience, making it an ideal companion for meditation.

These recordings, discovered by Coltrane's son Ravi, feature only her voice and the Wurlitzer electric organ, an instrument she believed was divinely chosen. "Kirtan: Turiya Sings" offers a glimpse into Coltrane's most minimalistic and spiritually charged music. It serves a purpose beyond mere entertainment – it is "functional music" designed to guide the practice of chanting, creating vibrations that transcend the material world.

In this re-imagined visual experience, the ethereal cosmic sounds of "Turiya Sings" take on a new dimension of earthly reality. You can almost feel the tactile quality of each note as they resonate in the room. Coltrane's expert manipulation of the Wurlitzer, honed over a decade, breathes fresh life into the compositions. Her mystic organ lines seem to synchronize with the very drone of the universe.

This re-release of "Kirtan: Turiya Sings (Visualizer)" coincides with the highly anticipated vinyl reissue of the record, marking a pivotal moment for fans and newcomers alike.
