Krewe Coumbite
with
Black Sound Band
Krewe Coumbite is a sonic instrument of study in Black diaspora folk ecology and vernacular rhythms. Reed’s work focuses specifically on vernacular resonance of Black cultural musings expressed in: chants, cultural sayings/proverbs, naming, lullabies, and rituals such as public transit, service work, and neighborhood gathering. Currently in production with turbulence.org to create a remix station & sound map for Krewe, Reed will produce a digital sound sampling library for programming electronic algorithms through their residency with Harvestworks.
