“Hope therefore lies in a poetry through which the world so invades the spirit of man that he becomes almost speechless, and later reinvents a language... true #poetry is what does not pretend to be poetry. It is in the dogged drafts of a few maniacs seeking the new encounter.”

Front cover of CD digipak with black obi on left hand side. Jacob Boehme's ‘Tree of the Soul’ on a white background. Obi reads: John Zorn Transmigration of the Magus Drawing inspiration from various Gnostic philosophies of the Nag Hammadi library, Transmigration of the Magus is a musical evocation of the mystical journey of the soul through the bardo. Lyrical and tender, the music has a lush orchestral sweep and features Bill Frisell and John Medeski reveling within the magical sonorities of vibraphones bells and harps. Created to help the passing of Zorn's dear friend Lou Reed through the bardo realms and released on the one year anniversary of his passing, transmigration of the Magus is a memorial tribute to one of Zorn's musical mentors and is one of his most touching and emotional projects truly music of the angels.
