"Bow is the perfect artist for something like this," says The Underground’s owner and sound engineer Vincent Freeman. "His diversity is legendary, his shows are always different, and we all enjoy working with him." The Choirs of Aether project will feature parts of Thayer's improvisational “Soundpaintings” series which he composed over the course of the pandemic, along with a huge volume of other new music, including a double album with his former band The Benders, a new album co-written with guitarist Val McCallum (Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams) and a solo album full of pandemic-influenced singles called The Zen of Snug. Each of these projects can be found from his website, www.bowthayer.com. “Choirs of Aether started as a tribute to Sun Ra, but will now forge ahead as a cosmic exploration of my original music, both new and old,” explains Bow. “The time has come to celebrate humanity’s unquenched desire to explore present time expression and improvisation.”
