  • Leaving Records will release All In One Peace, a Laraaji retrospective, on August 7th. Laraaji Nanananda, AKA Edward Larry Gordon, is a new age musician, zither player, composer and laughter meditation guru probably best known for his work with Brian Eno (who discovered him busking in New York). His solo discography beyond Eno is voluminous and spans decades, however. The new three-cassette set by LA imprint Leaving gathers together releases from Laraaji that never been reissued in full before, including 1978's Lotus Collage, a live zither recording that pre-dates his fateful meeting with Eno. All In One Peace also features 1981's Unicorns In Paradise, an improvisation performed on a Casiotone MT-70, and a two-parter from 1983 called Connecting With The Inner Healer Through Music, which features a lengthy piece of the same name as well as a selection of movements from a work called "Trance Celestial." All In One Peace will come on tape and digital formats. Check out clips below.
