German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist Ernst Haeckel was quite a pioneer in his time. He discovered and named thousands of new species, and documented many of those species with over one hundred gorgeous illustrations in his book, Kunstformen der Natur (Artforms of Nature). The book, which is now available in the public domain, romanticizes many underwater creatures with brightly colored, nearly symmetrical drawings. Haeckel makes tiny species of Siphonophorae, a class of marine invertebrates, resemble otherworldly flowers in the above diagram.

![JJJJJerome Ellis Interview: Blackness, Dysfluency, and Music to Open Up Time -- by Miles Ginoza @weeaboo.diaspora
***************************
LISTEN TO THE RECORD
& READ THE INTERVIEW:
http://bit.ly/redefinedisfluency
***************************
* JJJJJerome Ellis speaks with a stutter. He asked that his stutters be included in the transcription of this interview as a gesture towards others who speak dysfluently, so that they might see themselves recognized... *
With the release of his late 2021 record and book, The Clearing, the Virginia-based, disabled Black musician and writer presents to the world a new kind of performance... The Clearing builds on an essay he wrote for the Journal of Interdisciplinary Voice Studies in 2020. titled, “The clearing: Music, dysfluency, Blackness and time,” which argues that the stutter is a space for temporal possibility and political resistance rather than a burden.
[...]
By weaving recordings of spoken passages from the original academic essay together with ambient soundscapes, trap beats, and jazz improvisations, Ellis turns essay into performance, a way to embody and explore the radical possibilities of his stutter across an hour-long album. In this way, the listener is invited to experience the stutter, to witness the ways it disrupts rigid definitions of linear time, to cultivate patience in the face of the unknown.
