community of light is a collective of artists & musicians working in
the post kraut cosmic drone continuum which was initiated by mr. robert
fludd and has come to full fruition in the twenty-first century in
various forms. specifically; as pursuers of the Light, which is often
called Darkness, and a sound we call silence (with a method called night
vision).
one critic of note has said of the community : community of light
reconceives a music that has for a long time been gathered from the
invisible and most ancient of all communities, which has been in
existence since the creation of the cosmos, and will be with us through
the end of time. their music is highly influenced by krautrock,
psychedelic, ambient, british folk, electronic and experimental and
avant-garde music.
