Afrikan Sciences 'Circuitous' (PAN 54) by PAN published on 2014-11-11T10:06:05Z Afrikan Sciences 'Circuitous' LP PAN 54 Peerless rhythmist and sonic explorer Afrikan Sciences makes his PAN debut with 'Circuitous,' the third full-length, freeform offering from the New York-based artist. At the nexus of Afrofuturism, science fiction, transcendental free jazz, and future hip hop, this new work from Eric Porter Douglas casts itself and its creator in a liminal zone most recognizably charted by astral traveler Sun Ra. ‘Circuitous’ follows from nearly a decade of releases for Deepblak —the Oakland-rooted imprint of frequent collaborator Aybee— and shares common blood with both the elevated consciousness of late '80s club culture and contemporary West Coast beat scene Built around Douglas’ signature polyrhythms and complex melodies, the unorthodox agility demonstrated throughout the album’s fourteen tracks reflect his long history of live, improvised sets combining multiple turntables, upright bass, and a command center of digital tablets and controllers. Each track maps the artist’s own movements, tracing paths of flight, highway trajectories through tunnels and over bridges, and rides through rough and gated neighborhoods. If familiar on the surface, deeper or repeated listenings to ‘Circuitous’ reveal the dynamic multiplicity embodied within. 'Circuitous' is a free and unbound body of work—one that defies easy classification yet translates fluidly across multiple environments—compiled over double LP in order to fully realize the scope of Afrikan Science's sonic palette. http://p-a-n.org/ Genre Afrofuturistic Comment by Carizm groove groove!! 2021-05-19T05:56:07Z Comment by The Letter Grey Mega! 2020-01-25T17:29:16Z Comment by Marcia GirlzBLike Carr you my friend are a genius 😍 2016-01-20T02:22:35Z Comment by Olesia Elfa <3 2015-10-26T11:38:24Z Comment by scott gailey ici 2015-09-01T06:00:43Z Comment by encymoverflow Fantastico 2015-08-14T12:28:13Z Comment by Bvivno afrikanism 2015-06-27T04:30:41Z Comment by fka Camp this song makes no sense in the best of ways. 2015-05-29T18:44:14Z Comment by Loganic The vibe I need! 2015-04-21T14:02:10Z Comment by Arno cas yeah 2015-04-05T01:33:32Z Comment by Hylé Tapes <3 2015-03-01T00:51:17Z Comment by Yarn Audio This is like a hattrick in football! 2015-02-24T20:52:04Z Comment by Yarn Audio great release! 2015-02-24T20:50:44Z Comment by Samuel Goodall Ahh the wonders of music 2015-01-28T23:28:25Z Comment by eddie hind beautiful and haunting 2015-01-21T01:18:34Z Comment by RAWXHUSTLE + + + 2015-01-20T03:02:28Z Comment by Yayu ky cool 2015-01-11T14:01:58Z Comment by Wilhelm Matthies very appealing texutures... 2014-12-28T03:03:02Z Comment by Ben Ó Faoláin The album is superb!
