In this week’s episode of Miss Nati’s Music Box we entered a new dimension. Our spacecraft drifting by the moons of Saturn, with the faint sounds of experimental jazz drifting through the portholes. Miss Nati is our fearless leader as we make strides into musical territories unheard of by our curious ears. But all good astronauts need a good meal right? Well, we’ve got you covered with this special recipe for Moon Stew and a playlist to listen to as you chop all these delicious ingredients.
“You can’t say, ‘One teaspoon of this, or one teaspoon of that.’ Like a musician, you improvise. It’s like being on a spirit plane; you put the proper things in without knowing why. It comes out wonderful when it’s done like that. If you plan it, it doesn’t work.” - SUN RA
