Man, get your damn hands off the mic that I'm chokin! That's dope, def, fresh, hype, choice, smooth and raw Words of rapture that you have to capture Rough, rugged and real, you're on standstill Right in the break of Minister Farrakhan's speech) (Big Daddy Kane begins to rhyme to the beat, starting (The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan speaks)Īnd when that individual comes, I make, no apologies This roadmap, however, is given as the closest approximation to what eardrums present in the moment experienced sonically. This SonicText emanates from an act of live composing, with elements created in the moment on the spot. This document was created in order to give a textual sense of what is happening sonically. Craig's contribution to this moment is simply his DJ rhetorical savvy at its finest-part of the curatorial process that every good DJ brings to any situation.

He finds it more appropriate that his musical collaborators tell this story over the course of a series of decades (from 1972–2020). The Atlas-like weight this conversation carries is a weight that Todd Craig will not speak on directly. In fact, it has been an ongoing conversation, sampled, interpolated and remixed countless times. The idea of Black Life mattering is nothing new. Thus, Todd Craig's voice is inconsequential instead, what is most critical is his collaborators: historical scholars and organic intellectual-musicologists starring as Black Musician-Griots. Instead, this entire SonicText will serve as documentation of a live composition that engages with the theme of "Black Sound Matter(s)." Deploying the concept of sonic lineage (Craig, forthcoming Polson, 2019), this piece aims to radically transform this intellectual space through sonic and DJ rhetorical practices.
In an attempt to embody the practices of DJ rhetoric as it relates to sound studies as well as sonic composing, Todd Craig will not speak with his own voice.
