Join the Media Arts and Culture (MAC) Department and API Alumni and Allies for Oxy(A4Oxy) for the Transpacific Analog: Aesthetics and Mechanics of Sound Recording Technology with dj sniff and Micah Garrido ’17, the second event in MAC’s Cinematheque series on the theme of “Analog@Oxy.”
This live technological demonstration and in-person conversation explores how sound recording and reproduction technology shape aesthetic practices and vice versa across the Pacific. CHamoru audio creative Micah Garrido ’17 and turntablist Takuro MizutaLippit, known as dj sniff, will discuss proto-turntablist Shizuto Haruna mixing and playing Emperor Hirohito’s surrender of Japan in 1945, Chamorro festival performance circuits, cognitive scientific theories of sound, and DJ Grandmaster Flash’s role in the history of turntablism. These topics open up opportunities to think through the sonic conditions of militarism, perception, tourism, and diasporic circulation.
The 2024-25 Cinematheque series is organized by the Media Arts & Culture Department and 鶹ƵArts in conjunction with the Center for Community-Based Learning and American Studies Department, with generous support from the Remsen Bird Fund and Mellon Foundation.
