STORAGE CONTAINER 04

Sonic Care for the Revolution + Actualization of Imagined Worlds

w/ Bapari

Through word exchange and sound curation with guest BAPARI, we will engage in a productive conversation on how communities centered around music and sound can contribute to the uprising and demand sustainable social change which provides care and liberation for QTBIPOC members of the experimental electronic community and beyond. What needs to change in order for physical (and virtual) spaces in which we gather together to listen to music and move our bodies feel safe?

How is sound capable of providing a container for restoration and grounding as well as anger, grief, and the active dismantling of government sanctioned violence and systems of oppression? What physical manifestations of sonic care can act as nourishment for bodies working towards trauma recovery and the shift from acting from our sympathetic nervous systems to our parasympathetic nervous systems?

Guest: Bapari

Bapari (aka Arielle Baptiste) is a Haitian-American musician, producer and DJ. They have released music with Popcan Records, Mollyhouse Records, Chroma NY, XXIII and Internet Friends. In addition to producing for a number of recording artists, their debut solo EP ‘Daybreak’ released this past March. Bapari has created soundtracks and scores that have been featured at Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, Redbull Music x Compose LA, as well as New York Fashion Week. They’ve headlined Boiler Room LA, played Melting Point & Papi Juice in New York, as well as numerous parties across the USA.

Bapari DJs and hosts the monthly show Puffy on NTS radio and last year served as the tour DJ for Steve Lacy. Their musical style explores electronic experimentation by fusing cinematics, the avant-garde and dance music elements to create anywhere from unique underground club tracks to genre-bending sonic landscapes. Most recently Bapari was selected for the LANDxAIR artist residency program hosted by Nomadic Divisions and Werkärtz and last year they were accepted into a two-year residency program by NAVEL, the artist collective and performance space in downtown Los Angeles. They played drums in the punk band F U Pay Us, as well as soccer for the Haitian national team.
