Waking Astronomer takes up the ‘Mantle’

The experimental supergroup ‘wakes the cosmic muse’ with a live video.



Here’s a cool video from experimental jazz group Waking Astronomer’s live performance at 529 last month, which highlights Afua Richardson’s killer voice and flute, with blurred lights and artsy effects.

The supergroup - whose members include Richardson, beatmakers 10th Letter and Deku, cellist and vibraphonist Saira Raza, and Alexa Lima on keys - made their debut late last year with “Stalactite” (below).
