SPACED OUT CONVERSATION - Ramon Sender

Ramon Sender improvises on an open-tuned autoharp struck with a chopstick, and then talks about his early career as an experimental composer at the San Francisco Tape Music Center, how he helped to organize the Trips Festival in 1966 and went, soon after, into the desert with his dog Lucy to trip, thereby finding his cosmic self and choosing a path of humble country living, lyrical lightness, planetary synergy and voluntary primitivism, co-founding the Morning Star commune with Lou Gottlieb and experimenting with sun yoga and solar strobes.
