This is true notwithstanding the fact that neither Horace nor the ARK are playing on it. Still it would not exist without the P.A.P.A., its various arms, its history, its members, fellow travelers and spirit. I am a Los Angeles native. I was born in the 1950’s. I started playing music in the 3rd grade. I grew up in the West Adams and South Central communities and, except for my last year of high school, attended public schools in those neighborhoods. Yet I had not heard of Horace Tapscott and the ARK until ¿1987?, when I was a little past 30. My friend Joseph Mitchell and others, tell me this is not true. He says that the ARK came to Locke High School and played in the gym; that I was there. This is plausible, even likely, but I don’t remember it. One evening in 1987, I came home to find a message on my answering machine. It went something like this: “Roper. This is Horace Tapscott. They tell me you play tuba. I need you, man!” So I called him back. The gig was, I think, for the first L.A. Fringe Festival. I figured it was just a gig. Little did I know that almost 40 years later, I would still be with the ARK. Not that I have been with them continuously. It is a special organization, often with some truly\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e trying dynamics happening. For years at a time, I couldn’t handle those dynamics. For whatever reasons, I would leave and for whatever reasons I’d come back. This album is a tribute to that long-standing and ongoing relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne thing about Horace is that he made room for everybody. It didn’t matter that when I started with him, my main focus was as a classical musician. My role when I was with the ARK, was to play the ARK’s music in the ARK’s tradition. So I had to get with it. But Horace was sincerely interested in making what I did work in his context. There was \/ is space for me to be me. This is not the case everywhere. This project is a reflection of that openness. These pieces trace the arc of the four decades of my ARK-adjacent musical life. They all require improvisation to varying degrees. One of them is a total improvisation. Two of them have spoken word. All of the players on here have had some association with Horace and the ARK. Joseph Mitchell played Horace’s “Ancestral Voices,” with Horace as soloist with the Watts Symphony. Vinny Golia shared the stage with Horace in Europe and played with the ARK at least once. Devin Daniels, the youth of America, is a present member of the ensemble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis recording of Wumpas, is from a 1992 live performance given in the theater at Barnsdall Art Park, Los Angeles.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : William Roper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : The Village\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVLG013 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease date : 14th November 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-04-05T08:02:01+09:00","created_at":"2026-04-01T11:24:34+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["drone","jazz","lp","new","sound poetry","the village"],"price":494600,"price_min":494600,"price_max":494600,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":48586807869690,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"William Roper \/\/ Lost in the Sands LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":494600,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san1_2b27a957-ebc4-4fd6-b723-1e01d340c09b.jpg?v=1775010106","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san2_5d2193a6-6050-4dcb-8821-dcab0c334dc3.jpg?v=1775010106"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san1_2b27a957-ebc4-4fd6-b723-1e01d340c09b.jpg?v=1775010106","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38919348617466,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":350,"width":350,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san1_2b27a957-ebc4-4fd6-b723-1e01d340c09b.jpg?v=1775010106"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":350,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san1_2b27a957-ebc4-4fd6-b723-1e01d340c09b.jpg?v=1775010106","width":350},{"alt":null,"id":38919348650234,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san2_5d2193a6-6050-4dcb-8821-dcab0c334dc3.jpg?v=1775010106"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/san2_5d2193a6-6050-4dcb-8821-dcab0c334dc3.jpg?v=1775010106","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・LAのチューバ奏者William Roperが、2025年11月にLAの老舗レーベルThe Villageからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e実験ジャズ〜サウンドポエトリー〜ドローン4曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e※デジタル音源を無料でお送りいたしますのでお気軽にご連絡くださいませ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2184954416\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/thvi\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/thvi\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more The Village releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk us for digital files. \u003cbr\u003e12\" black vinyl. \u003cbr\u003eEdition of 100 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
