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.

More details TBA

=================================================

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 Wiley’s 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.

More details TBA
