Starting as a solo sound collage piece (where Locks pulled samples from Civil Rights era speeches and recordings to create an improvisational pallet for performance on his drum machine), over 4 years the project has blossomed into his 15-piece Black Monument Ensemble – featuring musicians (including Angel Bat Dawid on clarinets and Dana Hall on drums), singers (alumni of the Chicago Children's Choir), and dancers (members of Chicago youth dance company Move Me Soul). Where Future Unfolds is a live capture of the ensemble's epic debut at the Garfield Park Botanical Conservatory on the West Side of Chicago. Recalling the spirits of Phil Cohran's Artistic Heritage Ensemble, Eddie Gale's Black Rhythm Happening, Archie Shepp's Attica Blues, and Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, the album presents an inspired, innovative \u0026amp; immediate intersection of gospel, jazz, activism \u0026amp; 808 breaks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased May 31, 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusicians:\u003cbr\u003eAngel Bat Dawid (clarinets), Dana Hall (drums, percussion), Damon Locks (electronics, bells, voice), Arif Smith (percussion).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSingers:\u003cbr\u003ePhillip Armstrong, Monique Golding, Rayna Golding (on \"Rebuild A Nation\"), Eric McCarter, Tramaine Parker, Lauren Robinson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDancers:\u003cbr\u003eAnna Martine Whitehead, Raven Lewis (Move Me Soul), Cheyenne Spencer (Move Me Soul), Mary Thomas (Move Me Soul), Bryonna Young (Move Me Soul), Tiarra Young (Move Me Soul).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLyrics \u0026amp; Compositions by: Damon Locks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded \u0026amp; Mixed by: Charlie Mammoser.\u003cbr\u003eMastered by: Casey Rice \u0026amp; David Allen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCostumes Designed by: Jamie Hayes at Production Mode.\u003cbr\u003ePhotography by: Daris Jasper \u0026amp; Chris Hershman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbum Art by: Damon Locks\u003cbr\u003eLayout \u0026amp; Liner Design by: Craig Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded Live at Garfield Park Conservatory, as part of Red Bull Music Festival, Chicago, November 15th, 2018.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"license-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"license\" class=\"info license\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"cc-icons commercial\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eall rights reserved\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"International Anthem","offers":[{"title":"IARC0025 LP - Classic Black Vinyl","offer_id":52126966251794,"sku":"IARC0025LP","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"IARC0025 LP - Classic Black Vinyl (gold foil)","offer_id":52126965760274,"sku":"IARC0025LP_GOLDFOIL","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"IARC0025 LP - Limited Edition *Red in Black* Color Vinyl","offer_id":52126965891346,"sku":"IA-WFU-IRIB","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"IARC0025 CD - Compact Disc","offer_id":52126965924114,"sku":"IARC0025CD","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"IARC0025 Digital Download","offer_id":52121000509714,"sku":"IARC0025","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/6989\/0578\/files\/a0773898138_10.jpg?v=1773706097","url":"https:\/\/shop.intlanthem.com\/products\/damon-locks-black-monument-ensemble-where-future-unfolds","provider":"International Anthem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
