In this interview, author, musician, and musicologist Mike Fiorito and I discuss his latest book, "The Innerspace of Outer Space," then explore how music and sound can serve as a vehicle for connecting with transcendent realms and non-human intelligence.
The conversation describes Fiorito's syncretic approach in this book for connecting music, UFOs, and mystical traditions across different cultures and time periods, with a focus on artists like Sun Ra, Brian Eno, Stephen Halpern, and Pink Floyd.
In particular, we consider Sun Ra's spiritual beliefs, and how he believed he was visited by sentient beings who provided him with a cosmic mission to remind human beings of their spiritual origins. Then we consider how that idea impacted his music.
We discuss how music can "dematerialize" reality, create shared emotional experiences, and serve as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.
Fiorito also describes how he used a Tarot deck to guide his writing process and connect with the energy of different musical subjects.
