about

This project explores an adaptation of Baltimore Boom Bap Society’s approach to group improvisation in hip hop, through the conditions of social distancing during quarantine in 2020-21. I created initial electronic parts that I sent to musician friends, to which they recorded their own improvised parts and sent these back to me. I mixed in each person's remotely recorded part and sent it on to the next person. A few artists were able to come to my studio in person to record. The process of creating these collaborative tracks became a way to maintain a feeling of connection to my musical community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
