Who Yo People Is

A presentation of the musicological-theoretical thought piece "Scored Blackness". This piece was first published in Positionen Magazine (Berlin - https://www.positionen.berlin/post/scored-blackness ). This altered version of "Scored Blackness" was the keynote address part of Castle of our Skins's October 2022 residency at Boston University: Walker at 100 - celebrating the life and music of George Walker.

SCORED BLACKNESS by Anthony R. Green (talk)

Shine was commissioned by Castle of our Skins in celebration of our 10th anniversary and is inspired by U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adeboʼs poem "We Shine Bright." The music journeys through different forms of brightness, from radiant kaleidoscopes, to warm sun rays, to intoxicating glimmers of shimmering yellow bleeding through cracks in dark spaces. These lights are hope, love, and strength. They shine on promise and they shine from the heart.
