SoundCube is a lovingly unnecessary excuse for sonic overthinking, a space to map music through rhythm, memory, form, and occasionally, chords chart. It’s a framework to explore how music genres evolve, structurally, culturally, and mathematically. Afro-jazz dialogues is a first listening-based research, exploring the world of Ebo Taylor: highlife riffs, jazz phrasing, stories of resistance, and grooves!
What can a guitar riff teach us about timing? Can a polyrhythm be read like an equation?…And is it still research if you’re dancing while doing it?
