about
A music master is one who has developed a profound musical language. A language that transcends & recreates the history of sound each second, while at the same time existing in the moment.

One such master is Alan Silva... welcome to his musical world. A world of sound, a world of color, a world of mountains, stars, planets. A world of spirits that heal. As an innovative bassist his arco & pizzicato work is unprecedented. Check out the Jimmy Lyons' recording Other Afternoons, Albert Ayler's Love Cry, & Cecil Taylor's Conquistador. Listen to the broad strokes he paints with the Silva Glissando, one of his trademark creations.

1999-06-05 Amherst by Alan Silva Celestrial Communication Ensemble t II 31:27 about “This is first & foremost religious music. Every sound serves an extra-musical purpose —creating a sonic analogy to a mystical experience. The sheer roiling volume, density & fullness of tone fills the listener with a powerful sense of the infinite, a sublime combination of awe, dread, & unearthly ravishments.” —Ed Hazell, 1999 Alan Silva (born Bermuda, 1939) made regular appearances on the Western Massachusetts eremite records scene from 1998 > 2004. He performed at the last two Fire in the Valley festivals (1999 & 2002), played in small ensembles with Marshall Allen, Johannes Bauer, Malcolm Goldstein, Sunny Murray, William Parker, & Oluyemi Thomas (among others), led the final concerts by his 35+ year open-form large ensemble juggernaut, the “Celestrial Communications Orchestra” (2003), & guested with numerous visiting musicians, including 2 Days in April with Fred ...
