WEBVTT

00:00:35.368 --> 00:00:36.953
The idea of this

00:00:38.538 --> 00:00:39.748
is to kind of

00:00:42.417 --> 00:00:44.753
project reality by

00:00:44.753 --> 00:00:46.921
programing myself

00:00:46.921 --> 00:00:48.923
and then being the thing

00:00:48.923 --> 00:00:49.924
that I program.

00:00:52.135 --> 00:00:53.136
I think that

00:00:54.054 --> 00:00:56.639
like with this, this

00:00:56.639 --> 00:00:58.016
is a computing interface,

00:00:59.184 --> 00:01:02.187
you know, once you have computing

00:01:02.187 --> 00:01:04.397
when she makes the commute, the

00:01:04.397 --> 00:01:07.275
the interface with King Esthetics

00:01:07.275 --> 00:01:08.068
is a different way of

00:01:08.068 --> 00:01:09.235
interacting with the computer.

00:02:00.495 --> 00:02:02.455
I haven\'t gone out on the street

00:02:02.455 --> 00:02:03.748
on purpose to play

00:02:04.874 --> 00:02:06.835
in like two years, so

00:02:06.835 --> 00:02:07.877
I\'m really.

00:02:07.877 --> 00:02:09.712
And it\'s, you know, it\'s going to

00:02:09.712 --> 00:02:11.631
be more drum like than sex

00:02:11.631 --> 00:02:12.465
like, which is going to be

00:02:12.465 --> 00:02:13.466
interesting.

00:02:14.551 --> 00:02:17.262
I like the idea of

00:02:17.262 --> 00:02:20.056
of twisting up

00:02:20.056 --> 00:02:22.100
someone\'s idea

00:02:22.100 --> 00:02:23.101
of what

00:02:23.935 --> 00:02:24.936
of what,

00:02:25.812 --> 00:02:28.022
what jazz is, because once it gets,

00:02:28.022 --> 00:02:30.567
once it gets too predictable,

00:02:30.567 --> 00:02:31.985
it loses its magic

00:02:33.945 --> 00:02:35.113
because there was a time when jazz

00:02:35.113 --> 00:02:36.322
really freaked people out.

00:02:36.322 --> 00:02:38.324
Yes. It\'s like after World War,

00:02:38.324 --> 00:02:39.409
during World War Two

00:02:40.493 --> 00:02:42.829
in New York, there was,

00:02:42.829 --> 00:02:44.914
you know, they weren\'t allowing

00:02:44.914 --> 00:02:47.542
any any clubs to play music

00:02:47.542 --> 00:02:48.793
in that time.

00:02:48.793 --> 00:02:50.962
And so all these

00:02:50.962 --> 00:02:52.922
great jazz musicians

00:02:52.922 --> 00:02:54.757
just kind of shed it in

00:02:54.757 --> 00:02:57.135
basements and like invented

00:02:57.135 --> 00:02:59.053
bebop in like a dozen

00:02:59.053 --> 00:03:01.973
other variations

00:03:01.973 --> 00:03:03.641
on jazz at that time.

00:03:03.641 --> 00:03:05.935
We live in an age that\'s

00:03:05.935 --> 00:03:08.730
after the year 2000.

00:03:08.730 --> 00:03:10.732
You know, we\'ve got

00:03:10.732 --> 00:03:12.942
two three

00:03:12.942 --> 00:03:14.986
generations that have grown up

00:03:14.986 --> 00:03:17.197
on predominantly electronic music

00:03:18.781 --> 00:03:20.950
and all of the cultural shifting

00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:22.911
that that that\'s brought.

00:03:22.911 --> 00:03:23.912
So

00:03:24.913 --> 00:03:26.706
it\'s interesting to investigate what

00:03:26.706 --> 00:03:28.666
type of a jazz form

00:03:28.666 --> 00:03:30.919
would would actually

00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.962
be able to drop into

00:03:32.962 --> 00:03:35.340
that and proliferate,

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:36.925
you know, and propagate itself.

00:04:20.677 --> 00:04:22.053
Eventually, I had to answer right

00:04:22.053 --> 00:04:23.054
now.

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.265
What are you doing?

00:04:25.265 --> 00:04:26.808
Well, the thing is that the keys

00:04:26.808 --> 00:04:28.351
will be working, but right now they

00:04:28.351 --> 00:04:29.477
ain\'t working yet.

00:04:29.477 --> 00:04:31.312
But do you get

00:04:31.312 --> 00:04:32.814
some sleep?

00:04:33.940 --> 00:04:35.108
No, no. This we do.

00:04:35.108 --> 00:04:36.442
OK. I don\'t even know how to get

00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:44.450
back home.

00:04:55.086 --> 00:04:56.087
It\'s

00:04:57.255 --> 00:04:59.048
the overachieving man.

00:04:59.048 --> 00:05:00.049
What you know,

00:05:03.052 --> 00:05:04.262
I think it\'s

00:05:05.805 --> 00:05:07.015
speaks to like

00:05:07.015 --> 00:05:08.349
this right here. Yeah, that\'s like,

00:05:08.349 --> 00:05:09.350
that\'s the.

00:05:09.892 --> 00:05:11.561
You got like saying like, it\'s like

00:05:11.561 --> 00:05:13.271
your own computer, like a USB port.

00:05:13.271 --> 00:05:15.315
Right? You get all those back there

00:05:15.315 --> 00:05:16.983
and see all these pins here.

00:05:16.983 --> 00:05:18.151
You can put stuff up to that

00:05:19.610 --> 00:05:20.611
elevator.

00:05:22.989 --> 00:05:24.115
That\'s how we do it. That\'s how we

00:05:24.115 --> 00:05:25.116
got to do it.

00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:27.201
I like it.

00:05:27.201 --> 00:05:29.370
I mean, everything\'s great.

00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:31.414
Next time I see you, man, yo

00:05:31.414 --> 00:05:32.874
yo yo yo.

00:05:35.918 --> 00:05:36.919
Can I just.

00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.089
Some RA have

00:05:40.089 --> 00:05:42.050
future projection protocol.

00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:44.427
He said black kids need to learn

00:05:44.427 --> 00:05:45.970
by hieroglyphs.

00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:47.847
You know, they need the statues,

00:05:47.847 --> 00:05:49.057
they learn differently.

00:05:49.057 --> 00:05:50.892
He was saying that back in the 40s

00:05:50.892 --> 00:05:52.852
and 50s, now

00:05:52.852 --> 00:05:53.811
people are starting to pay it

00:05:53.811 --> 00:05:55.229
attention.

00:05:55.229 --> 00:05:57.106
But I mean, for

00:05:57.106 --> 00:05:58.941
instance, I use

00:05:58.941 --> 00:06:01.194
pure data to do my programing

00:06:01.194 --> 00:06:02.320
with.

00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:04.322
It\'s a very low level

00:06:04.322 --> 00:06:06.032
program. You can it\'s it\'s

00:06:06.032 --> 00:06:07.658
graphical, it\'s real time,

00:06:08.701 --> 00:06:10.453
it\'s down to

00:06:11.662 --> 00:06:13.498
numbers and addition.

00:06:13.498 --> 00:06:15.208
If you could do a whole, you could

00:06:15.208 --> 00:06:16.084
do A.I.

00:06:16.084 --> 00:06:18.127
with nothing but no boxes and in

00:06:18.127 --> 00:06:19.253
additions.

00:06:19.253 --> 00:06:20.046
Right?

00:06:20.046 --> 00:06:21.964
So the thing is, if I had

00:06:21.964 --> 00:06:23.925
been introduced to pure data at 10

00:06:23.925 --> 00:06:24.926
years old,

00:06:26.010 --> 00:06:27.512
I would have gravitate to it

00:06:27.512 --> 00:06:29.639
instantly music, especially

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:30.807
in Africa.

00:06:30.807 --> 00:06:32.975
Most of these, most of the cultures

00:06:32.975 --> 00:06:34.977
there, the drum

00:06:34.977 --> 00:06:36.854
is integral to the

00:06:36.854 --> 00:06:38.815
communication and

00:06:38.815 --> 00:06:41.109
the drum is the basis of binary

00:06:41.109 --> 00:06:42.360
computing.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.695
It\'s a four bit sequence

00:06:44.695 --> 00:06:46.697
on off, off on, off

00:06:46.697 --> 00:06:49.200
of on off, right?

00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:51.035
So you have the basis

00:06:51.035 --> 00:06:53.746
of binary computing there

00:06:53.746 --> 00:06:55.623
and it has dialect

00:06:55.623 --> 00:06:56.791
and it has,

00:06:58.292 --> 00:06:59.544
you know, intention.

00:06:59.544 --> 00:07:01.337
It has all of these, you know, has

00:07:01.337 --> 00:07:03.631
all of these subtleties of language,

00:07:03.631 --> 00:07:05.967
all the subtleties of each

00:07:05.967 --> 00:07:08.010
villages, drummers,

00:07:08.010 --> 00:07:09.178
voice.

00:07:09.178 --> 00:07:10.888
That\'s what I see Afrofuturism

00:07:10.888 --> 00:07:12.723
needing to be, you know,

00:07:12.723 --> 00:07:14.934
just another entertainment.

00:07:14.934 --> 00:07:16.769
You know, that\'s like I said,

00:07:16.769 --> 00:07:17.812
that\'s one of the reasons why I\'m

00:07:17.812 --> 00:07:19.647
not playing clubs

00:07:19.647 --> 00:07:21.399
and stuff anymore.

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.733
I mean, could you imagine how

00:07:23.901 --> 00:07:25.820
how retarded the shit

00:07:25.820 --> 00:07:27.905
could be if I stayed

00:07:27.905 --> 00:07:29.240
in the in the music industry,

00:07:30.658 --> 00:07:31.909
cyber man.

00:07:31.909 --> 00:07:33.286
Hey, cyber man, come

00:07:35.121 --> 00:07:36.831
on. Look, I got lights on my hands.

00:07:36.873 --> 00:07:37.832
No, no, no.

00:07:39.876 --> 00:07:41.878
It has to it has to evolve out

00:07:41.878 --> 00:07:42.879
of that shit.

00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:45.923
That\'s the question.

00:07:45.923 --> 00:07:46.924
Yes.

00:07:48.176 --> 00:07:50.011
What is all this, because

00:07:50.011 --> 00:07:51.179
I think it\'s what I was thinking.

00:07:51.179 --> 00:07:53.431
That\'s what you do exactly,

00:07:53.431 --> 00:07:54.265
right?

00:07:54.265 --> 00:07:55.766
That\'s really awesome.

00:07:55.766 --> 00:07:57.602
I went to design a system that I

00:07:57.602 --> 00:07:59.520
could to, you know, to

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:01.397
just make music that I don\'t

00:08:01.397 --> 00:08:02.940
know. I think stuff like this.

00:08:04.150 --> 00:08:05.860
I like stuff like this, but I think

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:06.861
it\'s.

00:08:07.862 --> 00:08:09.322
Music is more powerful than

00:08:09.322 --> 00:08:10.865
than than a stage.

00:08:12.158 --> 00:08:14.410
Because for me, it\'s it\'s so as.

00:08:15.912 --> 00:08:16.913
Surround sound.

00:08:16.913 --> 00:08:18.581
Yeah. Designed to make the rounds

00:08:18.581 --> 00:08:21.042
out, so I use it to program.

00:08:23.461 --> 00:08:25.338
It\'s basically to say, look, we can

00:08:25.338 --> 00:08:27.215
do something else.

00:08:27.215 --> 00:08:28.966
We don\'t have to go to war with each

00:08:28.966 --> 00:08:30.885
other to keep our economies

00:08:30.885 --> 00:08:31.844
afloat.

00:08:31.844 --> 00:08:33.012
You know, that\'s just, you know,

00:08:33.012 --> 00:08:34.764
people are going to, hey, you know,

00:08:34.764 --> 00:08:36.224
that\'s just one of the things that

00:08:36.224 --> 00:08:37.391
we do.

00:08:37.391 --> 00:08:40.102
But we can do some other shit, too.

00:08:40.102 --> 00:08:42.230
You know, we can.

00:08:42.230 --> 00:08:44.148
You know, and that\'s the experiment.

00:08:44.148 --> 00:08:45.942
Can we? Where can we?

00:08:45.942 --> 00:08:46.734
Where the music?

00:08:46.734 --> 00:08:48.986
I mean, our brains, our musical,

00:08:48.986 --> 00:08:51.072
our brains are not verbal.

00:08:51.072 --> 00:08:53.449
You know, our our you know,

00:08:53.449 --> 00:08:55.368
our prefrontal cortex does not

00:08:55.368 --> 00:08:57.411
send words to our occipital lobe

00:08:57.411 --> 00:08:58.913
or to our visual cortex.

00:08:58.913 --> 00:09:00.790
It does that in rhythms

00:09:00.790 --> 00:09:02.625
and brain waves,

00:09:02.625 --> 00:09:04.877
rhythms just going in a wave pattern

00:09:04.877 --> 00:09:06.796
all over this thing.

00:09:06.796 --> 00:09:08.297
Right. We can do some other.

00:09:08.297 --> 00:09:09.507
We can do something else.

00:09:09.507 --> 00:09:10.883
We can do a whole bunch of something

00:09:10.883 --> 00:09:11.884
else.

00:09:12.468 --> 00:09:14.178
And I don\'t know.

00:09:14.178 --> 00:09:15.388
I\'m in my 40s now.

00:09:15.388 --> 00:09:16.681
I\'ve already done the stage and

00:09:16.681 --> 00:09:17.765
redone all that stuff.

00:09:17.765 --> 00:09:19.225
Let\'s do the other things.

00:09:19.225 --> 00:09:20.351
Let\'s do that. Other shit.

00:09:20.351 --> 00:09:21.394
Honestly, let\'s see if we\'re going

00:09:21.394 --> 00:09:23.145
to the Moon. This fucking golden.

00:09:23.145 --> 00:09:25.064
This live underwater,

00:09:25.064 --> 00:09:26.941
let\'s, you know, live this, live

00:09:26.941 --> 00:09:28.693
in balloons in the sky.

00:09:28.693 --> 00:09:30.111
Let\'s make that should happen.

00:09:30.111 --> 00:09:31.320
Actually, let\'s just do it right

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.154
now. We\'ve got all the fucking

00:09:32.154 --> 00:09:33.656
information. It\'s all right there.

00:09:35.324 --> 00:09:36.492
I mean, I don\'t want to, you know,

00:09:36.492 --> 00:09:37.660
all the other stuff. I don\'t even

00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:38.911
want to give that shit.

00:09:38.911 --> 00:09:40.955
I don\'t even want to think about

00:09:40.955 --> 00:09:43.124
fighting the good fight and all that

00:09:43.124 --> 00:09:46.085
stupid shit for aggressive people.

00:09:46.085 --> 00:09:47.503
We can do something else.

00:10:03.352 --> 00:10:05.479
Once you start using sound to change

00:10:05.479 --> 00:10:06.981
your own neurology people,

00:10:08.107 --> 00:10:09.859
you start tying together brain

00:10:09.859 --> 00:10:12.278
regions that weren\'t necessarily

00:10:12.278 --> 00:10:14.322
tied together before

00:10:14.322 --> 00:10:16.449
so closely and so easily,

00:10:16.449 --> 00:10:17.617
which changes

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:20.995
the reality that you project.

00:10:20.995 --> 00:10:22.163
I\'m not the only one.

00:10:23.289 --> 00:10:24.790
You know, it\'s just that,

00:10:25.916 --> 00:10:28.502
you know, I\'ve given myself time

00:10:28.502 --> 00:10:30.421
and space, and I can live

00:10:30.421 --> 00:10:32.381
in a basement with an extension cord

00:10:32.381 --> 00:10:33.716
and be completely happy, which

00:10:33.716 --> 00:10:35.343
allows me to explore what I want to

00:10:35.343 --> 00:10:36.344
explore.

00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:05.581
This version.

00:11:06.749 --> 00:11:08.876
You know, it\'s bulky, and I

00:11:08.876 --> 00:11:10.086
because I tell you one thing I have

00:11:10.086 --> 00:11:12.088
noticed in the last year of wearing

00:11:12.088 --> 00:11:14.131
this and all of that is the number

00:11:14.131 --> 00:11:15.925
of people who want it to be so.

00:11:15.925 --> 00:11:17.468
Want it to be cute.

00:11:17.468 --> 00:11:18.928
They want Oh, can you make that less

00:11:18.928 --> 00:11:20.346
bulky, less, you know?

00:11:20.346 --> 00:11:21.347
And I\'m like.

00:11:22.973 --> 00:11:24.892
Neither you nor I even know

00:11:24.892 --> 00:11:26.811
what it is yet.

00:11:26.811 --> 00:11:28.604
We don\'t know what it is.

00:11:28.604 --> 00:11:30.564
Why? Why does it have to be cute

00:11:30.564 --> 00:11:31.565
now?

00:11:32.358 --> 00:11:33.734
I know I\'m just kind of at that age

00:11:33.734 --> 00:11:36.570
where it\'s like, not much really

00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:37.488
does it for me anymore.

00:11:37.488 --> 00:11:38.531
So I don\'t go out.

00:11:38.531 --> 00:11:39.532
I just work on my shit.

00:11:40.991 --> 00:11:42.952
I used to have dreams as a, as a,

00:11:42.952 --> 00:11:45.162
as a child.

00:11:45.162 --> 00:11:47.039
I have I\'ve always had crazy

00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.416
dreams that usually come true.

00:11:50.084 --> 00:11:51.919
But one of them was that I

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.171
was not going to

00:11:54.171 --> 00:11:56.966
die in that way,

00:11:56.966 --> 00:11:57.967
but

00:11:59.218 --> 00:12:01.137
I always looked at this as kind

00:12:01.137 --> 00:12:02.930
of a chrysalis state.

00:12:02.930 --> 00:12:05.433
Somehow I will dissolve

00:12:05.433 --> 00:12:07.101
into one of my constructs.

00:12:07.101 --> 00:12:08.602
I don\'t understand that process yet,

00:12:10.020 --> 00:12:11.021
but if ever

00:12:12.106 --> 00:12:13.274
there was a

00:12:14.650 --> 00:12:16.026
if ever there was a

00:12:17.361 --> 00:12:19.488
an era to be alive

00:12:19.488 --> 00:12:22.575
in that that is a possibility.

00:12:22.575 --> 00:12:23.576
It\'s right now.
