Fred Moten- Revision

Inimitable cultural theorist, poet, 2020 MacArthur Fellow Fred Moten creates new conceptual spaces that accommodate emergent forms of Black cultural production, aesthetics, and social life. He is a professor of performance studies and comparative literature at New York University concerned with social movement, aesthetic experiment, and Black study. He is also a United States Artists Rockefeller Fellow and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Puerto Rican-American bassist Brandon López is the son of a gravedigger who put time in doing the same, serving him well in his command of the acoustic bass. On moving to NYC, López made himself indispensable in numerous creative music realms - from featured soloist in the New York Philharmonic to the DIY basements of Brooklyn. As the Cleveland Review of Books noted, "This is virtuosity as vocabulary, a total command of texture, subtlety, and a depth that can be reached into." The "in real time right now" mesh of these two potent voices is presented here on record in duo form for the first time.
