OTHER UPCOMING PROJECTS
=================================================
APEIROPHOBIA
a steam-hop storybook

Photo credit: Katherine Soutar
Patrick Grant is composing and producing a storybook album for children of all ages, APEIROPHOBIA, with Clare-Rose Trevelyan from Australia. Part contemporary hip-hop and part orchestral soundtrack (known here by the producer as "steam-hop"), it is about a young witch who is terrified of infinity itself. She casts a spell to eradicate infinity's existence without first contemplating the consequences that follow. Going deeper than that alone, it's a parable on the imagination-killing effects of the ADD medications that are forced on our children.

VITSENTZOS
producing & remixing

The producing & remixing of an album by the Don Vitsentzos Trio. Don is the electric sitar player on the track "Jamananda" from the Swami Satchidananda documentary that was scored a little while back.

KEHINDE WILEY
Hip-Hop
Musical Clock

Kehinde
Wiley and Artware
Editions are collaborating to recreate a late-French rococo mantle clock
with matching candlesticks to be unveiled at ART
BASEL.
Like Wileys paintings, this traditionally-styled clock
will synthesize historical and vernacular references through several surprising
updates: the classical figures, or putti, traditionally shown supporting the timepiece,
will be replaced with urban African American men in contemporary clothing.
While
the exterior of the gilded bronze clock will be recreated with exacting attention
to authenticity, it will contrast with the modernized inner-workings of the clock
that incorporate a classically rearranged version by Patrick Grant of the Salt-N-Pepa hip-hop song, Push It, in collaboration with and sung by the brilliant contemporary performer, Shequida.
At each hour, a fragment of the song will play, and at noon and midnight
the song will play in its entirety. Historically aesthetically accurate, but also
blinged out, this clock will explore the intersection of power, identity, and
luxury.
