Centrum Sonic Lecture 4: Laurent Fintoni - A Boom Bap Continuum
19.00 Sonntag, Januar 22 2012
Description
Centrum Gallery Berlin presents Laurent Fintoni Sonic Lecture entitled A Boom Bap Continuum, which
looks at the evolution and mutation of hip hop's 'boom bap' sound
aesthetic from 1999 to 2009 and beyond. Exploring the sound's early
mutations in the 2000s via the work of people like Dabrye,
Machinedrum, Prefuse 73 and El-P
through to the work of people like Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Ras G
and Mike Slott. Using a chronological backbone, music selection and
newly sourced input from some of the early pioneers,
the lecture will show how terms like trip hop, glitch hop, IDM and
later wonky were ultimately often attempts at pigeon-holing boom bap's
mutations into more comfortable boxes and how its sonic evolution was
influenced from the soul and funk of the 70s to
electronic music, rave and video games which led to its revival and
continued popularity. As Laurent says: "A Boom Bap Continuum seeks to
trace what I see as the fascinating evolution of hip hop's most enduring
sonic aesthetic and how it was influenced by
technological evolution, cultural and geographical mutations as well as
hip hop's original ethos of 'do what you want with what you have."
