233: Tyshawn Sorey
Multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator Tyshawn Sorey on his latest recordings (Mesmerism and The Off-Off Broadway Guide to Synergism), his recent composition “Monochromatic Light (Afterlife)”, making work that defies category, growing up in Newark, comedy as a form of self care, the radical idea of blackness, exploring alternative musical models, his photographic memory, the interaction between improvisation and composition, processing ancestral trauma through music, and bad Italian food.
