about

The Same Changes is a reference to the pivotal article “The Changing Same (R&B and New Black Music)” from Amiri Baraka. Baraka describes Black Music not as genre, but as a community which evolves over time. In a sense, the words we use to describe music (“Jazz”, “Blues”, “Modern”, etc.) are containers for a community which changes over time, and from place to place, making them ill-equipped to accurately describe the art. If this is the case with a community of musicians and audiences, then surely this is also the case with an artist, and with any person. So, music is more accurately described by the experiences and communities which influence the creation of the art, as well as the experiences which the art invokes. This work builds from the experiences of communities and alters them by introducing new ideas and experiences. The same can be said of our lives and perception of identity. The Same Changes also refers to the cyclical nature of many of these compositions, which mainly feature sections of music that are repeated and evolve over time. Even the meaning of an entire song or recording is changed by what we experience while listening to it. The piece itself is a story of my process of self-discovery, both as an artist and as a human being.
