ALAN SILVA CELESTRIAL COMMUNICATION ORCHESTRA "DESERT MIRAGE" (IACP, 1982)
On this and the previous Alan Silva post, he is not playing himself but it's "his" music nonetheless.
These sprawling vistas - like flying and/or floating over vast sky- and landscapes. Immersed but somehow not attached.
On this LP the music has sometimes a dreamlike quality (see/hear "Desert Mirage") and au contraire to his LPs on BYG the music here has a more "structured" sound. Not that I would dislike "unstructured" sounds from Alan Silva or per se...
The Silva - as ever.

thanks Onx for the upgrade of what is a very special album indeed .. this is a major sonic improvement to the old Ch#9 mp3 rip!
The old Ch#9 days must have been something special.
Reading the comments of the "old" bloggers one get a very special - almost "mythical" - feeling.
What's all about - please enlight me!
Alan Silva? Always a pleasure.
Thanks.
Many thanks for this one onxidlib !
Thrilled to have this one. I spent a short intense period looking for it some time back, but couldn't find a copy.
"old Ch#9 days must have been something special. ...one get a very special - almost "mythical" - feeling. - Yea verily, in the Grand Time of Church Number Nine , the rivers did flow with ambrosia and honeydew hung from the trees.
People do tend to get nostalgic for whatever it is that they can't have anymore (youthful enthusiasm, women under 40, hair, blogs ....)
If anything, I would guess that it was - for the first time for a lot of people - the discovery that there was a sense of community in the enjoyment of "this kind of music". And a lot of great stuff got posted.
It was only a couple of years ago after all - and not the downfall of the Roman Empire
sotise and others can give a better 'retrospective'perhaps.
Thanks a lot, Onxidlib !
Serviceton (hi !) is talking about nostalgia ??
Well, your precious share helps me to remind my youth when I was student at Iacp in the 70's(Cotinaud was my teacher for few months),place du Châtelet, Paris.
Thanks again for this spicy madeleine !
Special, indeed. Thanks for this treasure.
Thankyou very much...Never heard this before and I'm loving it...groovy and spacey..yeah!
"People do tend to get nostalgic for whatever it is that they can't have anymore (youthful enthusiasm, women under 40, hair, blogs ....)"
ROTFL. ahem. (sighs) yeah.
thanks for these disks; hadn't heard of them before, very nice stuff this.
Alan Silva is a new name to me too, but one whose music I have found immediately appealing. Another gem thrown up by Inconstant Sol!
Thanks for the upload, this is very nice stuff.
Here attached "Seasons" by Alan Silva & Celestrial communication orchestra on 1970 live performance. Non stop 2hour and over 20 minutes huge works. In mp3.
I guess many people of this blog know this.

this is one of my favorite recent posts. wonderful what a piece.
i am one of those rare ones who loves ornette's written scores
and alan's work has always struck me as similar though more fluid.
thanks rAh
Just got around to listening to this and really enjoyed it. Thanks B

Thanks for the re-post!
Many, many thanks for this great rare and beautiful music!
Thank you.
Did you have "Seasons: celestial communications orchestra" 1970, on this blog at one time? Is this where i grabbed it? If not then I suppose I should get out the old Mega password and offer it up somehow? I picked it up last year and am finally listening to it... I had no idea. I came here to thank someone, whoever's blog (if it was here that which implies that it was taken down for a good reason) I want to thank who ever put it up on their blog.
and it makes me think i should be getting more of Silva's Celestial Communications Orchestra works.
oh i see "anon" put it up, but the link is dead for "seasons 1970"... things that make you say hmmm.
@santos c: Yes, I have the original lp on BYG Actuel as well as a digital download. For the sake of convenience, it's easiest to post the digitsl version. The Seasons never made it to a post on the front page, so to speak. I should have it up in a little while. Watch this space!
hey Kinbalu, I am going to put it on mega right now and post it here... just for the sake of continuity since I myself got it from this thread in the comments above... and now those links (rapidshare) are dead....
so give me a couple hours.... (computers always take about twice as long as i predict to do anything)
