This is a brief excerpt of In Other Words (VHS tape release)
Early in the pandemic I took several long, risky rides via e-bike from Corona Queens to Clinton Hill where I was living at the time. A few times, I recorded it via video and binaural microphones.
All the music I heard
from dancehall, to Raï, to drill, to pop, to makossa, to reggaeton, to hardcore, hiphop, and various sounds of everyday life influenced the album and made their way in to the album. Check it out. Link in bio!

This photo of a bike rack
yanked off the meat hooks
with the cuffs (bike lock)
left dangling

was a sight for me some years back.

I took a photo of it with a tiny (fully manual) spy camera, and then blew up it big to make a vibrachrome (dye-sublimation print on metal). It seemed perfect for an album cover. DM me for a poster.

It's Bandcamp Friday, all profits go to the artists

I'm excited to announce that I will be in this exhibition, Code Switch this spring!

May 2 on view through August 10 at @mocadetroit
organized by @ellerustle Legacy Russell and @ang.pdf Angelique Rosales Salgado of @thekitchen_nyc

Code Switch: Distributing Blackness, Reprogramming Internet Art is organized by Legacy
Russell (Executive Director & Chief Curator) and Angelique Rosales Salgado (Curatorial
Assistant)—with contributed research by @astoldbytsige Tsige Tafesse (2023-2024 Curatorial Fellow) and Kyla
Gordon (2024-2025 Curatorial Fellow)—of The Kitchen; and by Jova Lynne (Co-Director and
Artistic Director) and Isabella Nimmo (Associate Curator) of MOCAD. Exhibition design by
Pacific

The first of its kind internationally, Code Switch: Distributing Blackness, Reprogramming Internet Art is a multi-sited exhibition exploring and redefining the history of “Black data,” centering and celebrating contributions by artists of African descent to the rapidly advancing field of new media art and digital practice. Drawing its title from André L. Brock’s groundbreaking text Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures (2020), the exhibition explores the relationship between Black cultural production and the legacy of computation as a mode of machinic engagement and creative inspiration. This exhibition will take on two components—the first part, a historic archival timeline as presented by The Kitchen in collaboration with The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Fall 2024 (October 15–December 19, 2024); the second part, a contemporary group show, to take place Spring 2025 (May 2–August 10, 2025) in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD).

His first album after a 3 year sabbatical, Sonny Rollins released "The Bridge" in 1962.

"I would be up there 15 or 16 hours at a time, spring, summer, fall and winter."

Sonny Rollins dug deep and broke into something completely unexpected.

People called it hard bop. Amiri Baraka noted a combination of "wider and harsher tones" with "accompanying piano chords [that] became more basic and simplified" in this era. He cited saxophonist Sonny Rollins' playing as one of the best examples of the style.

The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015

On countless times passing over the Williamsburg Bridge, by bike, skateboard, train, and foot, I thought of Sonny Rollins playing there for hours, uninterrupted.

Rest In Peace Sonny Rollins.
I'm glad the sound waves reverberate on into space, eventually becoming heat again.

Rest In Peace to the legendary Sonny Rollins. I received my introduction to his work long ago, inadvertently through @beans_is_wack Beans. A year or two ago, I saw a post online where a person used the anime Cowboy Bebop as a vector to praise his Way Out West album. It gave me pause in the best way.

On his mohawk: “Well, that was before the punk guys. I was playing down in the Five Spot — the new one, there was two of them. Anyway, there was a Native American guy in the crowd with some of the fans and on one of the breaks, we’d be outside, and he was talking with me, and so I got the idea, “Well, let’s give a little salute to the Native Americans, why not?” So it was wanting to pay some sort of homage to the First Americans here. I really hadn’t seen it in anything else but in movies, and I thought it would look cool. I’ve always been the guy who didn’t mind breaking the mold.” —Sonny Rollins, 2018, talking about having a mohawk in 1963

I'm also doing pre-orders for the sweaties/t-shirt (photo made with 110 color negative film shot in Bed-Stuy

Early in the pandemic I took several long, risky rides via e-bike from Corona Queens to Clinton Hill where I was living at the time. This is a photo I took in one of those early rides. A few times, I recorded it via video and field recorder.
All the music I heard
from dancehall, to Raï, to drill, to pop, to makossa, to reggaeton, to hardcore, hiphop, and various sounds of everyday life influenced the album and made their way in to the album. Check it out. It's called In Other Words.
