Because DJ (disc jockey) tends to be a bit provincial in character, s.a.s.(s) (sonic ambiance setter) shall be what this space comes to describe those who bring their sound!

Future sonic creations will be archived as s.a.s.(s).

Unfortunately, I do not recall who created this image. If you are the artist or know who it is, please inform me and I shall rightfully add your information.

**Sonic pairing to the visual below**

This is a simple cut off of the "Lovely Rain" track from the Experience: Jill Scott album recorded live at her 2001 Washington, D.C performance.

HIGH SUGGESTION: take time to listen to both her full studio recorded "Love Rain" track without Mos Def AND her extended live D.C performance. It is overflowing with pearls and gems of feminine clarity, intuition, and heat. Souldeep.

'Tis a sonic exploration into 'the gaze'. Intrigue, ignorance, and strange delight are pieces of what create the "feel" of a gaze. Those pieces are subconsciously behind the simple sonic composition of this sound photo. As a tall, knowledge-seeking, self-loving, creatively radical brown woman, I've felt the cold and warm beams of 'the gaze'; I have also beamed a few 'gazes' at others. This sonic photo sounds ominous yet, inviting and after listening I was moved to ponder:

Can one perceive another's depth just by looking at them? How does it feel to gaze? And to be gazed at? Where do we feel the gaze?

......more sonic explorations to come.

Note: There are a myriad of psychoanalytical theories surrounding "the gaze" that travel from discourses on race, gender and sexuality to discourses on discipline and punishment and power dynamics to discourses on performance arts . Feel moved to explore this concept in these many realms much further.

***Above audio is a slightly manipulated recording of a dramatic walk in the woods***

This and many other inquires were posed during Mistinguette Smith’s Black Land Project April visit to Washington D.C. The Black Lands weekend provided a bright guiding light towards deepening the sacred practices that animate and ground our black diaspora in history,

BLP collects and dissects stories that explore black peoples relationship to land and place in order to illuminate the “current dialogue surrounding the relationship between black people […] and land.” When black Americans hold a space to illuminate and share their relationships to land, they are opening up a healing space that will, among many other things, "[acknowledge and transcend the impact of historical trauma in regards to land and place; engage in conversations about land use and economic prosperity; offer a form of regenerative resistance to oppression.]" These spaces can help guide and shift ideas of social change.

BLP’s story-based strategy resonates with this space because it seeks to unravel and elevate the soul of our black diaspora that has been mummified through the cogs that run capitalism like racist U.S policies and socioeconomic imbalances. Through the multimedia collection and documentation of black land story bones, BLP is building a robust historical creature that will help guide the answer to how we create a narrative more authoritative for black people.

I was made fully hip to Ms.Shirley Sherrod, co-establisher of New Communities Land Trust, the largest black owned land trust in the U.S, who’s resilience and community leadership in the face of racist land regulations and sexist foes make her soul-force galactic. As well as the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage, a journey of approximately 70 people (only 3 of which made it to the last stop) to retrace the route of African slavery in the U.S. And there's much more digging and re-fleshing to be done...

Mistinguette, your Black Lands Project visit was fully rejuvenating and revelatory. Thank you.
