Numero is proud to present the audio companion piece to Psychic Meditation: As Taught By Master Wilburn Burchette. After three albums of reverberated guitar wandering that established him as one of experimental music's most enigmatic figures, Master Wilburn Burchette takes a radical sonic turn with Psychic Meditation Music, a transcendental journey into the kosmische realms that stands as the audio companion piece to Psychic Meditation: As Taught By Master Wilburn Burchette. This remarkable collection presents two side-long synthesizer explorations designed to transport listeners to the avocado hues of 1974, expanding consciousness one oscillation at a time.

The transformation from Burchette's signature guitar work to these cosmic electronic landscapes represents more than a simple change of instrumentation - it marks a fundamental shift toward music as consciousness technology. Where his previous releases explored the reverb-drenched territories of psychedelic guitar meditation, Psychic Meditation Music embraces the synthesizer's capacity for generating pure frequency relationships and sustained tonal environments that facilitate deep inner exploration.

These two extended compositions embody the essence of the mid-1970s consciousness expansion movement, when pioneering artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Ash Ra Tempel were discovering the synthesizer's potential for creating immersive sonic environments. Yet Burchette's approach maintains a distinctly American character - less concerned with European cosmic grandeur than with practical applications for meditation and spiritual practice. What makes Psychic Meditation Music particularly compelling is its embodiment of that perfect 1974 aesthetic - the period when synthesizer technology had advanced enough to create rich, sustained textures while retaining the experimental spirit that characterized the era's most adventurous musical explorations. The "avocado hues" reference captures something essential about the album's visual and sonic character: warm, earthy, slightly psychedelic, thoroughly immersive.

Burchette's mastery of electronic composition reveals itself through patient construction of sonic environments that evolve with organic inevitability. These are not static drone pieces, but living electronic ecosystems where subtle parameter changes create the illusion of vast sonic spaces unfolding in slow motion. The influence of German kosmische musik is filtered through American new age sensibilities, resulting in music that is both cosmic and grounded, expansive yet intimate.

For collectors of consciousness-expanding electronics and kosmische archaeology, Psychic Meditation Music represents an essential bridge between the guitar-based psychedelia of the late 1960s and the synthesizer-driven explorations that would define much of the 1970s underground. Master Wilburn Burchette's evolution from reverberated string explorer to cosmic synthesizer practitioner documents a crucial transition in experimental music's relationship with spiritual practice.
