Sonic SoulFood, 2020
Sonic SoulFood is a series of meditative soundscapes that affirm and celebrate Black cultural practices of resilience and wellness. Each soundscape centers a healing practice and weaves together sounds from the natural world, with voice, music and metaphor. Sonic SoulFood creates a space for listeners to unplug from the noise and anxieties of our world, and to tap into a deeper listening that affirms personal and collective resilience.
Conceived of during the onset of a global pandemic, a time of heightened fear, anxiety, and grief, I started weaving sounds together that helped me stay grounded and present. In an attempt to quiet my own fears I started posting words and songs on social media to affirm my personal wellness practices. Those words and songs inspired a series of sound collages called Sonic SoulFood.
