I just love this album so much,,,

Recording of The Nigger Series on BandCamp

Especially the last two tracks can be so calming. I’m not black, but I’m crazy and also some-kind-of-gay  so i can somehow relate to that music.

Not so fun fact: Julius Eastman so to say was arch enemy of racist & homophobic avant-gardists such as John Cage. Eastman’s work is mostly unknown because he got shunned for being a black gay man, but we were lucky to discover his work on the radio one exiting evening 📻️ 🎶  

(The purchased digital album contains a PDF booklet with more interesting facts about the work and its author. Feel free to DM us if you can’t afford to purchase the album.)

"David Garland features his 1984 interview with composer Julius Eastman. This is apparently one of the few recorded interviews with Eastman, who comes across vividly and unforgettably. Eastman was an extraordinary singer who also created instrumental works that challenged and thrilled listeners, and tested taboos. He was a religious and philosophical seeker, a sensualist, and a gay African-American who was homeless when he died in 1990 at age 49. This preview features a brief collage of interview excerpts."—Spinning On Air

"The New York Philharmonic and John Jay College of Criminal Justice co-present “Unjust Malaise: Julius Eastman and a Broken Mental Health System,” the third installment in “The Unanswered Questions” discussion series. The conversation, part of the Philharmonic’s “Authentic Selves: The Beauty Within” examination of issues of identity, focuses on the life of avant-garde composer Julius Eastman and the ways in which society ostracizes, or even criminalizes, behavior deemed to be deviant.

The panelists are Luciano Chessa, composer, music historian, and conductor; Leah Goodridge, Esq., Managing Attorney for Housing for Housing Policy at Mobilization for Justice; poet R. Nemo Hill & composer-performer Mary Jane Leach. Gayle Murchison, Associate Professor of Music at the College of William and Mary, moderates the discussion."—New York Philharmonic
