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. #jjjjjeromeellis #NNATapes #JeromeEllis #GlottalBlock #Disabled #Jazz #Poetry #SpokenWord #TheClearing #BlackWriter #BlackMusician #Dysfluency #DysfluentWaters #Blackness #PoliticalResistance #Resistance #MLKDay #NorthernSpyRecords #Stutter #Stuttering #AncestralTime #TakeTime #SlowDown @nnatapes @jjjjjeromeellis @northernspyrecs

REDEFINE’s annual Album Covers of the Year feature consolidates interviews from artists and musicians to highlight philosophical, thematic, and conceptual significance of great album cover artwork spanning a wide range of visual and sonic styles. READ THE FEATURE: https://bit.ly/redefine2021cover /// Showcased in the 3D & DIGITAL section are these four album covers for the KICK series by Arca @arca1000000 -- KICK ii / KicK iii / kick iiii / kiCK iiiii (XL Recordings) The first installment, KiCK i, was released in 2020; the remainder were released in 2021. The cover art for KicK ii (pictured above), as well as the artworks for all of the following Kick projects were created by the artist Frederik Heyman @frederikheyman -- who previously worked with Arca on her 2020 single “@@@@@” and for the music video of her single “Nonbinary,” from KiCk i. There is much to unpack in all related media, and not enough room to contain them here. Frederik Heyman (Visual Artist), via Kanon: Creating visuals is my main practice. I think and breathe in visuals. Rarely do I find the unique synergy as the one I have with Alejandra. Working with her allows me to go out of my comfort zone and explore new artistic territories. It’s a new language we’ve developed: we supplement, expand, don’t limit, merge worlds. I love to work with extended mood and storyboards in general. With Alejandra we bring it to another level, taking the time to develop a new narrative in the visuals through detailed research and sketches as a base. We consider each minor and major visual element as of equal importance and narrative necessity, revisiting the past by recycling symbolism, reshaping them into an alternative present.

Beans Film Review: A Mohawk Girl Comes of Age During the 1990 Oka Crisis - READ THE REVIEW by @alison.j.smith: https://bit.ly/redefinebeans⠀ ⠀ Early on in Beans— a coming-of-age film written and directed by Quebec-based Mohawk filmmaker @TraceyDeer — a teenage girl and her mom shimmy under their seatbelts and sing along to Snap!’s “The Power” on their way to a protest. This scene vividly encapsulates the energy in the air during the early days of the 1990 Oka Crisis. Incited by the decision of the Quebec government to allow a golf course to be built on the site of a Mohawk burial ground, the event provides the backdrop for Deer’s propulsive and sensitive film, which follows a thirteen-year-old Mohawk girl named Tekehentahkhwa (Kiawentiio Tarbell), nicknamed Beans, through that tumultuous summer.⠀ ⠀ The contested site, which includes the town of Oka, has traditionally been home to the Mohawk people but lacks the legal status of a reserve. A 90-day struggle, which included numerous blockades of roads as well as racist incidents like the burning of Mohawk effigies by townspeople, ensued.⠀ ⠀ Beans successfully juggles a variety of tones, from playful to jaw-dropping, but never feels like just another textbook history lesson. By giving space to both Beans’ burgeoning social consciousness and occasional adolescent recklessness, the film reinvigorates familiar coming-of-age tropes. In so doing, it reimagines a fascinating episode in Canadian Indigenous history through a thirteen-year-old’s unjaded eyes.⠀ ⠀ READ THE REVIEW.⠀ WATCH THE TRAILER.⠀ http://bit.ly/redefinebeans⠀ ⠀ #SeattleFilm #CanadianFilmmaker #CanadianFilmmakers #IndigenousFilm #IndigenousFilmmakers #MohawkFilmmaker #TraceyDeer #ComingOfAge #ComingOfAgeFilm
