Specifically, I’m thinking of imagining a world beyond colonialism and also offering spaces to critique capitalism and white supremacy and patriarchy. My goal for this recital and all the art and music that I make is to offer a space for audience members to imagine. How would you describe the mood of the music that you make? The other character is a security camera who’s witnessing all these tags appear and slowly critiquing their own position as surveyor for the Hartford Police Department and then potentially falling in love with Veoh right at the end.Īre there any Bebé Machete songs in your recital? One of the characters is Veoh, who’s this prehistoric demon that has existed in Hartford since before people lived there and witnessed indigenous people settle, and then Europeans colonizing Hartford, and then Hartford what it became - with all the white flight and gentrification and police brutality. I ripped from YouTube and then chopped it up in the score. There’s this really ridiculous blogger that is convinced that his tag is summoning a demon. Basically there’s this guy, Veoh, who is really prolific to the point that there’s a lot of conspiracy theories around him. pieces is a love story between a security camera and a graf ti tagger that has all this folklore around him in Hartford. Some of it, like for the motorcycle piece, is news clips and s**t from social media. That piece is accompanied by three bassoonists that are going to be spread out across the room… I’m also going to have some of my pop music performed with a four-piece band accompanying me.ĭo you film all the footage for the videos yourself ? But in other contexts, like in the protest in Chile, the people on motorcycles were the repressive forces.
In the Puerto Rican context, it was the best symbol of resistance because there was this massive caravan of motorcyclists during the protest this summer. I have one video that’s using a motorcycle as a metaphor to talk about colonialism in Puerto Rico and also 2019 as a moment of resistance to colonialism and fascism across Latin America, and complicating the way the motorcycle operates within different contexts.
A few of the videos are going to have live accompaniment. I am doing a mix of video pieces for 5.1 audio five speakers and one subwoofer, so that’s surround sound basically. Could you describe what your senior TIMARA recital is going to sound like?
