Description
Peerless rhythmist and sonic explorer Afrikan Sciences makes his PAN debut with 'Circuitous', the third full-length, freeform offering from the New York-based artist.At the nexus of Afrofuturism, science fiction, transcendental free jazz, and future hip hop, this new work from Eric Porter Douglas casts itself and its creator in a liminal zone most recognizably charted by astral traveler Sun Ra. �Circuitous� follows from nearly a decade of releases for Deepblak �the Oakland-rooted imprint of frequent collaborator Aybee� and shares common blood with both the elevated consciousness of late '80s club culture and contemporary West Coast beat scene.
Built around Douglas� signature polyrhythms and complex melodies, the unorthodox agility demonstrated throughout the album�s fourteen tracks reflect his long history of live, improvised sets combining multiple turntables, upright bass, and a command center of digital tablets and controllers. Each track maps the artist�s own movements, tracing paths of flight, highway trajectories through tunnels and over bridges, and rides through rough and gated neighborhoods. If familiar on the surface, deeper or repeated listenings to �Circuitous� reveal the dynamic multiplicity embodied within.
'Circuitous' is a free and unbound body of work �one that defies easy classification yet translates fluidly across multiple environments� compiled over double LP in order to fully realize the scope of Afrikan Science's sonic palette.
