The Dawn of Psychedelia charts the course of the artistic momentum that had been gathering internationally from the mid nineteenth century. From Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites to Lewis Carroll, progressing through Art nouveau. Aubrey Beardsley, Erik Satie and The Sitwells. Dada, Marcel Duchamp. The Surrealists: Dali and Bunuel and Miro. Edgard Varèse, the Father of Electronic Music , the Matinee Idol of Modernism and musical guru of Frank Zappa. Aldous Huxley's 'holiday from reality' and the yearning of he and such prophets (or charlatans?) as Timothy Leary to attain the cosmic conciousness of unity, light and love. Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock & the sculptor Alaxander Calder. The Alice B Toklas Cook Book. The mysteries of Indian classical music & its introduction in the west (Ravi Shankar, Vilayat Khan, Ali Akbar Khan & his brilliant disciple, Sharan Rani). The pioneering of Sun Ra and the jazz-hybrids created by such figures as Ken Nordine, Yusef Lateef, Herbie Mann & Gabor Szabo as each sought to break the boundaries of convention.
