Play: Privilege And Resistance (Oct 2024) / TW Roundtable

The almond tree in Amaki’s compound house was dotted with tiny yellow oval-shaped fruits that
willed their way to the ground at the slightest urge of a passing breeze. At dusk, the sky above
would fill with hundreds of straw-colored fruit bats making their way across the city, seemingly
guided by the warble of the call to prayer from a distant mosque. Growing up, this compound
was the fertile ground for my imagination. It was modestly sized but pliable, folding itself into the
universes of a child’s mind and the heart of a family’s world. This piece is a sonic exploration of
personal history, and an homage to the matriarchal figures of my life who, through love and
sacrifice, built structures of safety that made unbridled play possible for generations after them. I
embrace an intuitive process of improvisation, turning an experiment with analog hardware and
virtual instruments into a practice of performance as listening, straining to once again hear
Amaki’s voice.

This is an audio essay about resonance, history, and uncertainty. I’ve included the text here for accessibility and reference, but for the best experience of this piece, listening with full attention (and ideally closed eyes) is preferable.
