Sound Observations: Nicole Mitchell Performs in Memphis
Sonosphere’s last Sound Observation series for 2018 ended on a high note. We welcomed Nicole Mitchell to perform flute with electronics.
It was a beautiful show preceded by a panel talk on Afrofuturism that we’ve posted as the first part of this Sound Observations.
The discussion informed this improv performance keeping the works of afrofuturist writers and musicians at top of mind.
Thanks for listening!
