In this show, Brendan Bonsack presents tracks from The Clearing, an album by Jerome Ellis, exploring speech, dysfluency and history. As the liner notes describe the work, "The Clearing is a conceptual and musical tour de force that combines Jazz with the narratives of enslaved Africans, and experimental electronics with historical accounts of Black rebellion. The album centers speech but uses it as a starting point to not only depathologize dysfluent speech but to build new tools to critique anti-Blackness, linear time, culture, and power in our society." 

The Clearing is co-produced by Northern Spy/NNA Tapes and the Poetry Project.
