If you're at @baryoent this weekend come by the workshop @ Unidad Park 5 PM ! We're talkin genre we're embracing complexity we're crying and listening to love songs
Thanks to @filamartsla 's Eskwela Cultura for the opportunity and space to speak on some important music history and ideas
No theory today
But take care in your action this weekend!
catch me at Baryo Hifi next Saturday 5pm Unidad park - talking history, genre and maybe derrida
Upcoming talks and performances / tito BMs favorite edutainment channel is back
Subjects include the embrace of complexity, dodecasyllabic mono rhyming quatrain (awit), passing the psychedelic threshold of struggle and sitting in with @lotti4evr and @tobeylynn 🌸
Many thanks to the community and spaces for the opportunity to speak words and play sounds
Love to @lailasmith for the Little Tokyo Fridge Photo
Beautiful Blue Sky / Thinking about Death on a Monday Morning
To those who still clock in the next day /
That death, not the semiconductor, is the industrial foundation to techno-culture (Quicho) /
Machine on - rest in peace Sam rest in peace to the Negros 19
Take care
Constancio de Guzman’s composition, Pedro Concepcion’s arrangement, Jose Valdez’ transcription, Jamin Marciano Maximo A. R.’s brief performance
Constant assailment of dreams, violent imagery, projections of the self, simulacrum tedium - may we never lose hold of the reality and materiality we share outside it all
recap
I always teach this song because of it's importance as a vehicle for ideas then and now -
Audio transcription from a microcassette recording during my performance in Carson -
Thank you for an expansive and connective year of support and listening - many of you I've had the great pleasure to see and hear in person, more than I have in the past and for that I'm grateful.
Life and the world is beautiful, it's going to cost something to keep it that way
Last show / Last iteration
Happy to be a part of these efforts alongside @nafconsocal@nosisignorakenrol
The vehicle continues outside the platform otherwise
how does it feel?
changes, connection, timing, deep love and pocket, all things sacred and of good intent, standing at the end of a long weave of history for the people
Some things learned through the life work and practice of D'angelo
Ran a different style set last night - thanks to @nosisignorakenrol@zosimomusic
Been struggling to conceptualize the horrors internal and external this last week / Quixote vs the unfathomable Windmills etc., / Ezekiel's biblically accurate vision of the Wheel / and the all to knowable Warfare against our people.
Either way, it was nice to sing out to this stuff even if there is no answer - you're just as much a part of filipino american history so take some time to honor yourself
Take care
