This music is part of another tomorrow
It's the music of the sun and the stars.
(Sun Ra)

My music demonstrates infinity, Most people can’t comprehend that.

I think musicians are on a superior level, but unlike scientists, they haven't been accepted for their abilities.

Sun Ra: Do the Impossible poster

As a longtime fan who got to see Ra himself twice and the Arkestra a half-dozen times…it’s ok. It’s probably better if you haven’t seen the Mugge doc or Space is the Place, but heads won’t learn anything new, and skeptics will be turned off by its leaning into Ra’s cosmos thing.

Sun Ra and His Arkestra: In the Orbit of Ra » PopMatters This year would mark the 100th birthday for jazz legend Sun Ra. But, for a performer as prolific, ever-changing, and tough to pin down, how do you celebrate?

Sun Ra and His Arkestra: In the Orbit of Ra www.popmatters.com/186053-sun-r... - Picked this one up a few years ago because Marshall Allen put it together, and it's a great anthology

Musicians go by what they know. And if you go by what you know, then your in opposition to what is unknown, and what is unknown is greater than what is known..
(Sun Ra)

The destiny of this planet is at stake, one fatal further mistake can cause its long delayed destruction. One fatal mistake can be its last.

What Playing With Sun Ra in College Taught Me About Myself Sun Ra claimed to hail from Saturn, but he and his far-out band, the Intergalactic Arkestra, still suffered the hassles of earthly travel. Because of a snafu, they would arrive on campus a day early, before their hotel expected them.

When I speak of freedom, I do
not speak of freedom of the land of liberty or the freedom of any land of this plane of existence, for this plane of existence is only a temporary illusion.

How lmpossible is the impossible,

Sun Ra Arkestra - The Pearl Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 - Tues Feb 24th 2026

I'm talking about something that's so impossible, it can't possibly be true. But it's the only way the world's gonna survive, this impossible thing. My job is to change five billion people to something else. Totally impossible. I have to deal with the impossible.
(Sun Ra)

A Certain Beat
A Sudden Chord
These things charm the mind with veiled enchantment
That lingers long after the song is done
(Sun Ra)

With music you can express any emotion, you can paint pictures..
(Sun Ra)

Full age is of different connotation
Symbolization from the void
Immeasurable fullness
Feeling determinant
Full age
Is of the priceless treasure
Above eternities
Full age
Is the feel of things
And Intergalactic Master Control
(Sun Ra)
