The group, Quindar, repurposes NASA’s visual and audio archives to create an improvisational, electronic journey through memorable days of the early space age.
The pieces are a result from collaboration between Mikael Jorgensen of the musical group, Wilco, and art historian/curator James Merle Thomas.
New album
