Reclaiming sonic adventures! Come out, sound on! @sensor.ghost @aqarawaq @terryjamesconrad @p_s_won

get to know our spring resident ! s.j.a &&& @amp.m.worx are currently deep in process at the center for afrofuturist studies, where they are developing the first episode of AMPERS&ND [sound machine] RADIO, or A.s.m.R. 🎶 this radio special will act as a(nother) sonic conduit to the larger AMPERS&ND universe, an ongoing multimedia archive & performance series blending griotic ritual, metanarrativity, & experimental epistemology heavily influenced by their background as a cognitive neuroscientist & experimental filmmaker, AMPERS&ND emphasizes the use of ‘creative metadata’ – i.e screen recordings, phone media, & digital marginalia – to generate a hypertext of evolving gnostic & artistic philosophy in the context of the digital age episode 001 of A.s.m.R will blend jazz, jam, & dialogue, in a mediascape of soul-stirring sounds – from personal & collective archives – engaging fellow inter/multi/trans/anti- disciplinary artists & thinkers on themes of ancestral intelligence, intuitive practice, & our devotion to remixing source material in this inaugural episode, s.j.a will also be in conversation with artist & filmmaker @lianigreaves – granddaughter of renowned experimental documentarian william greaves – ahead of the cannes debut of the newest @williamgreavesproductions film: Once Upon a Time in Harlem (premiering this week !) • s.j.a is taking questions over on the @afrofuturist.center instagram story today (05.13.26) ! feel free to share your questions below or in the ig story prompt ✨🪾🌀
