Free Music Notes for Strange Strings (1966)Free Music Review: Sun-Ra is the Black Stravinsky/DuchampUpon its premiere the Rite of Spring probably sounded much like "Worlds Approaching" to all the unprepared ears. It's a savage piece that pounds along with an intense and chaotic pulse, a violently lurching monstrosity. "Worlds Approaching," "Strange Strings" and "Strange Strange" are all composed with equal parts barbaric slashing/thrashing and schizophrenic delicacy; the quiet passages of each piece are fragile and carry hints of drone music. As much as Ra was pushing jazz to its limits with free jazz he was also pushing music to the limits of logic. The bonus track, "Door Squeak," is one of those pieces that utterly rejects any sense of classification or purpose. Ra uses the squeaky hinges of a door to articulate little clusters of noise. Its very Dada-esque in the way of Marcel Duchamp or Steven Stapleton and exhibits Ra's exceptional understanding of found sound. With Strange Strings Ra is still pushing boundaries with free jazz but he is also entering into the discourse of avant garde and experimental music.
