The Magic Sun (1966)
Director: Phill Niblock
Year: 1966
Time: 14 mins
Music: Sun Ra & His Solar Arkestra
Eye of Sound: Multi-faceted artist Phill Niblock captures a brief moment of an interstellar communication by the Arkestra in their prime. Black turns white in a so-called negative post-process, while Niblock's camera focuses on microscopic details of hands, bodies and instruments. A brilliant tribute to the Sun King by another brilliant supra-planetary sovereign.
