Woods - “Between the Past”

PERENNIAL by WOODS

PERENNIAL by WOODS

"Woods announce their new album, Perennial, out September 15th on Woodsist, and share the double lead single, “Between The Past” b/w “White Winter Melody.” Formed in 2004, Woods have matured into a true independent institution, above and below the root, reliably emerging every few years with new music that grows towards the latest sky. Operating the Woodsist label since 2006 and curating the beloved homespun Woodsist Festival for the musical universe they’ve built, Perennial is the sound of a band on the edge of their 20th anniversary and still finding bold new ways to sound like (and challenge) themselves."

YE! : A Film By John Oluwole ADEkoje (Official Trailer/Soundtrack Lead Single)

YE! A Jagun Story Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Tracklist: 01. OWO - “Element” 02. Ninety - “Sun Down” 03. OWO - “Own It” 04. Shocklee Feat. Mizzle, Suté Iwar, Magnito - “Die For You” 05. Jackie Queens - “I’ll Find A Way” 06. Shocklee - “YE! The Score” (Bonus Track)

Jagun Fly Productions and Shocklee Entertainment are thrilled to announce YE! A Jagun Story, a powerful cinematic and immersive sound collaboration between Nigerian-American filmmaker John Oluwole ADEkoje and Hank Shocklee to be released next year. Starring Dakore Egbuson- Akande (Castle & Castle on Netflix, Isoken) and Tony Okungbowa (Bob Abishola on CBS, The Ellen DeGeneres Show), YE! is the origin story of Stellar (Egbuson-Akande), the future leader of the Ajumose, a covert, celestial league of brilliant women who use ancestral memory to reconstruct the colonized minds of black people throughout the diaspora. After her family is brutally murdered by child soldiers, the Ajumose guide Stellar as she seeks to avenge them. When she finally locates their killer, she makes a devastating decision that changes both of their lives forever.

According to ADEkoje, YE! is the first installment of a new independent African film trilogy “wherein a brilliant and consequently resilient diaspora create a universe of superheroes and adversaries firmly rooted in realistic human character traits in a franchise designed by and intended for all black people.”

YE! was scored by composer, sound designer, Hank Shocklee, 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and founder/producer of seminal hip hop group Public Enemy whose music has appeared in numerous films including Do The Right Thing, American Gangster, Juice, He Got Game, and more. Shocklee designed the score to be experienced in an immersive Dolby Atmos environment and for the music to almost become “another character in the story.” His sound-design-as-score approach is part of the new wave of film composers subverting tradition and blurring the classical boundaries that traditionally exist between dialogue, music, and sound effects.

The YE! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a colorful collection of new music curated by Shocklee and creative sound team Teknimension. The 6-track soundtrack features a blend of Afro-Fusion, Afrobeats, Afropop, Afro-House and Afro-Hop sounds from emerging Pan-African artists from the U.S, Nigeria and South Africa. “The ʻYE! Original Motion Picture Soundtrackʼ is inspired and dedicated to the strong Black Women of the Pan-African diaspora located around the world and those that love them,” states Teknimension’s Executive Producer, Jo-Ann Nina. “As the character Stellar shows us in the film ʻYE!,ʼ you would be greatly confused to ever mistake a Womanʼs kindness for weakness for she will go to super human great lengths for what she loves.”

In conjunction with YE!‘s announcement, Jagun Fly Productions and Teknimension share the soundtrackʼs lead single, “Sun Down” by Ninety. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, Ninety identifies as an Afro-Fusion artist blending pop, R&B, dancehall and reggae into a flawless hybrid. According to Ninety, “Sun Down” is about meeting the love of your life on a sunny day, spending the day together and enjoying each otherʼs company till the sun goes down.

Transcendent Waves: How Listening Shapes Our Creative Lives

Pre-order Transcendent Waves

Anthology Editions announces Transcendent Waves, the debut book from sound healing practitioner, meditation teacher, and Brooklyn-based artist Lavender Suarez. The book is out December 15th and available for pre-order now.  Transcendent Waves is a work that is equal parts how-to guide and contemplative artist’s workbook. Throughout, Suarez outlines how listening can unlock moments of creative spark, self-awareness, and mindfulness, exploring questions such as “How can intentionally listening to our world inspire our creative practices?” and “What insights can we gain when we delve into the immersive world of sound?” From November 17th to December 14th, all pre-orders of Transcendent Waves ordered directly through the Anthology Editions web store will include a free download of an uplifting meditative sound bath audio recording by Suarez. The twelve-minute recording features hypnotic gong playing that slowly ascends into a lush synthesizer soundscape. The track also includes her reading selections from the "Sonic Inquiry" pages of the book— questions meant to provoke examination and inspiration in one's relationship to sound and listening. This MP3 will be available and delivered on release day. After release day, the file will no longer be included with purchases.

In Transcendent Waves, Suarez’s illustrated meditations combine the open-ended freedom of Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit with the profound psychological insights of Oliver Sacks to offer a modern take on the impact of listening in a world that gets louder every day. Featuring an introduction by Bibbe Hansen—artist, Warhol star, and daughter of Fluxus cofounder Al Hansen—Transcendent Waves compiles scientific evidence, anecdotes, and thoughtful prompts for readers to manifest a sense of wonderment and appreciation for the intricacies of listening and the new perspectives it can bring to our daily creative worlds. Throughout her career, Suarez has hosted workshops and performed at numerous museums and artistic institutes including MoMA, the Guggenheim, the Whitney, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Rubin Museum of Art, providing educational and meditative listening experiences.
