offthesky is experimental sound artist Michael Jason Corder from Denver Colorado, who has released around 70 releases over the past 15 years. On this episode we feature his new long form work, To Break Is Something Sacred plus Luna Monk, Simon Bainton and the excellent news that Stunned Records is to revive in 2019.
“to break is something sacred” covers a twenty-two minute expedition, it is an interpretation of life, struggle, enlightenment, disintegration of the “being” (to break) and the quiet, calm spaces that we all experience in one way or another through life (the spiritual existence). When nothing makes sense there often follows an astounding sense of clarity.
