A Common Wonder - God Bless The Freestyle (Interlude) (Prod. Amerigo Gazaway)
A Common Wonder - God Bless The Freestyle (Interlude) (Prod. Amerigo Gazaway) Angela Malele 32 Views • 6 years ago

Amerigo Gazaway brings to life an imagined studio session between Chicago's crowned prince of Hip-Hop, Common, and Motown legend, Stevie Wonder.

A return to the Soul meets Hip-Hop formula of his Marvin Gaye + Mos Def pairing “Yasiin Gaye,” Gazaway connects the dots between Hip-Hop and the genre’s predecessor with a musical history lesson told through the intersecting themes of Common and Stevie’s respective catalogues. As Gazaway put it:

“Stevie Wonder’s early use of synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers, in a lot of ways, paved the way for hip-hop and sampling. Part of my motivation for this project was to highlight those contributions”

Picking up where Common and Stevie’s 2016 “Black America Again,” single left off, Amerigo brings his imagined recording session to life with a slew of uncovered resources (including multitrack instrument stems, interview audio, and documentary soundbites.) Re-orchestrating deconstructed samples, the producer interweaves Common’s vivid wordplay and Wonder’s passionate vocals for a project that blurs the line between a “mashup” and a modern day duets album.

Crisis In Black and White (1967) |The Unfinished American Revolution | Leon Sullivan Floyd McKissick
Crisis In Black and White (1967) |The Unfinished American Revolution | Leon Sullivan Floyd McKissick Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 42 Views • 6 years ago

Great panel discussion in the aftermath of the Watts uprising exploring the future of America, the successes and failures of the Civil Rights movement and the need for financial empowerment in addition to integration. As Floyd McKissick discusses ay 37:15 , the Civil Right's movement only benefited the Talented Tenth. The uprising s were a reflection of Revolution. Selection from the 6th annual Philadelphia Public Service Conference sponsored by Group W, whose theme was "The Unfinished American Revolution : Crisis in Black and White." Liner Notes:Racial conflict is one of the most urgent problems of urban America. Unlike the other dilemmas of the city -water and air pollution, inadequate transportation, growing slums, overtaxed educational facilities, increas­ing crime, and others--the racial problem seems to be the least sensitive to immediate or lasting cures.This was the prevailing view point of a distinguished panel of experts w ho addressed the 350 delegates in attendance at the Philadelphia Con­ference, the sixth such meeting held under Group W sponsorship to ex­plore new concepts in radio and television public service programming.Using the theme, ''The Unfinished American Revolution” Crisis in Black and White,"" the panelists who discussed the racial problems included J. Alfred Cannon, M.D., Associate Director, Division of social and Community Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles ;"Major General George M. Gelsto n, the Adjutant General of Maryland and former Acting Police Commissioner, Batimore ; Floyd B. McKissick, National Director, the Congress of Racial Equality; Dr. Alex Rosen, Dean of the Graduate School of Social Work , New York University; Reverend Leon H. Sullivan, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Opportunities Industrialization Center, Philadelphia. The panel· moderator was Herbert Cahan, Group W area vice presi­dent, Baltimore.Highlights from the discussion are presented in these recordings-an examination of ''The Crisis in Black and White.

Session 3: Structural use of bamboo culms (Part 2)

Speaker: Zhuo Xin, Associate Professor of College of Civil Engineering and Architecture at Zhejiang University

Topic: Innovative multi-culm bamboo spatial lattice structures

The innovative multi-culm bamboo spatial lattice structures are composed of bamboo culm triangle installation units which are connected in the way that all simple connectors are the same. The topological relationship of this structural system differs from that of the traditional spatial lattice structures. A free-form surface lattice structures can be assembled in the way of tangent direction parallel connection between adjoining installation units. The bearing capacity of the structures can be strengthened in the way of normal direction parallel connection between adjoining installation units. The feasibility of this structural system has been validated by engineering applications.

Speaker: Luis Felipe Lopez, Head of Technology at Base Bahay Foundation in the Philippines

Topic: Research in the Philippines

Base Bahay Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing disaster-resilient, sustainable socialised housing for low-income families and disaster victims using the Cement-Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT). However, though the CBFT has been tried and tested in our various projects around the country, Base remains dedicated to constant research and innovation for the optimization of the technology.

This can be achieved through the Base Innovation Center where Base conducts research on bamboo construction technology, in collaboration with various international and local universities. Together with our partner institutions, the BIC aims to further bamboo technology and promote this for widespread use.

Speaker: David Trujillo, Chair of INBAR Construction Task Force, Assistant Professor at Coventry University

Topic: Making bamboo a mainstream structural material

Bamboo has been used as a construction material for thousands of years and currently hundreds of millions of people live in bamboo housing across the world, yet it is still perceived as non-conventional material. This is because most of bamboo constructions are vernacular. Over the last 20 years a significant effort has been made to transform it into another engineering material. This presentation identifies the state-of-the-art of bamboo engineering, including the significant progress made in the development of standards (and codes) and also identifies the path yet to cover.
