Kearney, Douglas / Jeanty, Val Fodder: Live At Disjecta LP Vinyl

Recorded live in Portland, OR on August 9, 2019, American poet Douglas Kearney and Haitian Afrofuturist Val Jeanty's album Fodder poetically splinters text on paper into a document you can hear through speakers &/or vice versa. Drawing from Kearney's "That Loud-Assed Colored Silence" poetry sequence (taken from his award-winning collection, Buck Studies), and touching on Louis Armstrong, contemporary protest, and the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Fodder interweaves original music, samples, and improvisation to create a completely absorbing listening experience. Afro-futurist percussionist Val Jeanty brings the heat throughout. This LP is a must-have for any lover of poetry, sound chemistry and/or Afrofuturism. Fodder is pressed on transparent vinyl and the album comes with a poem insert of Kearney's "That Loud-Assed Colored Silence: Scat."
