EABS plays Sun Ra. Concert at MDAG 2026
Infinity versus the end of the world – this theme resonated both in Sun Ra’s work and in the album recorded by EABS, paying tribute to his musical legacy. ‘Discipline of Sun Ra’, released in 2020, navigates between genres, flowing with the current of jazz while also drawing on hip-hop, juke, and house. The musicians have honoured one of the most important artists and composers of the 20th century, all while maintaining their own originality. For this reason, rather than a tribute, the EABS album could be described as a continuation. ‘Infinity, as understood by Mr Ra, means creating the jazz of the future, but in such a way that it encompasses the past’. EABS is guided by the same mission. Their music, much like Sun Ra’s work, is intergalactic. It evokes cosmic spaces, which, now that Sun Ra is no longer with us, takes on a whole new meaning. Outer space is not merely a source of inspiration – the magic of music is contrasted with passenger flights into space and a messianic desire to conquer new planets.
The concert at Millennium Docs Against Gravity will be connected with the film ‘Sun Ra: Do the Impossible’ (dir. Christine Turner), featured in this year’s festival programme.
