If you were frequenting this site over the course of the past few months, you might recall that earlier this year, I was selected as an inaugural member of the Asian Arts Initiative’s Sound Type Music Writers Workshop in Philadelphia.
Sound Type is Asian Arts Initiative’s Music Festival and Writers Residency designed to support and uplift new, experimental and courageous music from the Asian Diaspora and beyond. The Asian Art Initiative will also provide a series of workshops, gatherings and mentorships to primarily BIPOC musicians, journalists and critics to help build a sustainable ecosystem for them.
As a member of the workshop. I’ll be attending and writing about the showcases of the Sound Type Musical Festival, as well as other music-related programs at the festival. The commentary, articles, interviews and reviews will be published after the 2024 season.
The third edition of the Sound Type Festival will bring together experimental hip-hop artist GENG PTP a.k.a. KING VISION ULTRA and writer and DJ John Morrison for two days of music and discussion around cultural histories, the role of the music industry and imagining a cooperative model of artistic production and critique.
The session will feature two events at AAI in Center City:
July 2, 2024: 4:00PM: Seminar discussion between John Morrison and GENG PTP a.k.a. KING VISION ULTRA. Tickets are available here: https://donate.asianartsinitiative.org/event/sound-type-seminar-geng-ptp-and-john-morrison/e583566
July 2, 2024: 8:00pm: GENG PTP a.k.a. KING VISION ULTRA takes the stage. So, Philadelphia friends, come on through to check out a night of boundary-pushing music — and hang out with your boy. Maybe we can stop at Bar or Tattooed Mom or Poison Heart. Tickets are available here: https://donate.asianartsinitiative.org/event/sound-type-concert-geng-ptp/e583546
