ArtPower And Blacktronika Present Sound For Humanity

ArtPower and Blacktronika present Sound for Humanity, a series of performances by six creative artists, who were asked to think about sound, not only in its sonic definition (noun) but sound as an adjective (sound mind) and verb (sound the alarm), and how their choices will contribute in some way to humanity.

Two-night event featuring six amazing artists

This two-night event, from April 28–29 at 7PM, features conceptual sound artist Maria Chavez, soul improviser Lisa Vazquez, rhythm scientist Stro Elliot, mood composer Melz, sound artist Ari Melenciano, and polymath producer King Britt.

“The idea behind Sound for Humanity is for each of us to create a message for humanity through our sonic palette and performance.  When thinking about the word, Sound, I felt we could express sound as a noun (obvious), adjective (sound mind … safe and sound) and verb (sound the alarm)… keeping these intentions in mind within our creative process. Each artist will stretch the boundaries of their personal sounds and process, expanding on sonic space.”—King Britt
