Lake and Billowing Cloud (naviarhaiku581)

The “catch your breath” project got me thinking. All living things on this planet breathe, at least in one form or another, with some of us breathing in what others breathe out and vice versa. In that regard breathing is a kind of planetary feedback loop, constantly inhaling and exhaling. So, that inspired the first step in setting up my sonic palette: patching my “Barp 2500” to establish a slow oscillation. The output was fed into a tape looper effect on the Zoia which was then sent into the Cosmos, which were routed via a patch pay so that they fed back into each other. The combined audio was sent to my mixer, where additional feedback was added via the aux sends. After importing this into Logic, motion effects were used to create various forms of spatial movement. The final touch involved manually adding fade in and outs which became further and further apart and, eventually falling into silence when the breathing finally stops.

fog dissolves to rain

Press Start - Remastered

Sojourner’s Truth is the debut jazz album from trumpeter and producer Jasir, a deeply personal project dedicated to his mother, Gwendolyn Sojourner Redus. The album weaves together warm, classic jazz textures with modern rhythmic drive, creating a sound that is both timeless and forward-looking.

Each track carries the spirit of resilience, love, and truth—qualities embodied by Gwendolyn and passed on through generations. With lush horn arrangements, soulful improvisations, and a rhythm section that grooves with understated power, Sojourner’s Truth is more than music—it is a heartfelt tribute, a sonic memoir, and an exploration of legacy through sound.

This album invites listeners into an intimate space where memory, emotion, and artistry converge. Rooted in the tradition of jazz yet unafraid to push boundaries, Sojourner’s Truth celebrates the enduring bond between music, family, and truth.
