Hello MiE world, 

Long time no see and I just realized that’s the last time I write that for this blog. Damn, I just went to read my description and wow, so much has changed! 

I’m eternally grateful for this project cause it broadened my taste and my way of perceiving music that I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I think one of the things that this journey has taught me is that I can be multiple and enjoy various genres and presentations of music. 

So, as a part of my musical evolution I want to share with you an artist that brings together many things that I enjoy now: bringing technology, harmony, instrumentalization, the visual production and of course the feelings and soul that goes into this performance I’m sharing. I’d like to think of it as how I’d like to approach music in my life cause I’m starting that Dj/Producer journey.

So, thank you Kriz, thank you Melinda for making me a much more educated musician. I leave you with this beautiful concert, I hope you really enjoy it. - Juan M. Orozco

Sumney’s auteurial debut highlights issues at the center of his interdisciplinary practice, including non-binary thinking, isolation, emotional introspection and historical Black cultural influence. Raised between Ghana and Southern California, Moses Sumney is a singer, writer, and multidisciplinary storyteller, who studied creative writing and poetry at UCLA. In 2019, he received a SXSW special jury award for his video compositions and was awarded a Macdowell Fellowship for Artistic Excellence. In 2020, his first published essay, "Stateside Statelessness," appeared in Fight of the Century (Simon & Schuster), an immigration-centric anthology edited by Ayelet Waldman and Puliter-Prizer winner Michael Chabon. Sumney's critically acclaimed 2020 sophomore double album græ is described as a "conceptual patchwork about greyness". #mosessumney #nicolavassellgallery #BlackCreatives #MultidisciplinaryArtist #BlackMagic #SoulMusic #MusicIsLife #PerformanceFilm #PhotographyExhibit #ArtAndTheCity #NewExhibit https://www.instagram.com/p/CZhItDwLHXU/?utm_medium=tumblr
