Harmony Holiday, a writer, dancer, and archivist, joins Nikita Gale and Alexander Provan to speak about Black performers whose songs and struggles reflect the ongoing trauma of the “African holocaust.” They discuss the pressure to pander to white audiences as well as the impulse to seek a form of expression (and of being) that is chosen and not imposed by force. They listen to songs written and recorded by Holiday's father, the soul singer Jimmy Holiday, as well as to Albert Ayler, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Amiri Baraka, and Kanye West.Holiday's essay “The Black Catatonic Scream,” a meditation on Black silence, was published by Triple Canopy last year. Her book of poems on the “African holocaust,” naming, and erasure, Maafa, is being published by Fence Books in 2021. Holiday is currently working on a biography of the singer Abbey Lincoln and a collection of essays, Love Is War for Miles.In this episode, Holiday, Gale, and Provan speak about Fred Moten's In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition (University of Minnesota Press, 2003); Édouard Glissant's The Poetics of Relation, trans. Betsy Wing (University of Michigan Press, 1997); the writer and cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter, whose work is the subject of Katherine McKittrick's Sylvia Wynter: On Being Human as Praxis (Duke University Press, 2014); Mack Hagood's Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control (Duke University Press, 2019); Amiri Baraka, the poet, author, and luminary of the Black Arts Movement, about whom Holiday has often written.In order of appearance, the music and other recordings played on this episode are: Sonny Sharrock, “Black Woman” (feat. Linda Sharrock), Black Woman (Vortex Records, 1969); a concert by Kanye West as part of his Saint Pablo Tour, 2016; West's “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,” The Life of Pablo (Def Jam, 2016); Jimmy Holiday, “We Got a Good Thing Goin',” Turning Point (Minit, 1966); Ray Charles, “Somebody Ought to Write a Book About It” (ABC Records, 1967); Thelonious Monk, “You Took the Words Right Out of My Heart,” Thelonious Alone in San Francisco (Riverside, 1959), James Brown, “The Payback,” The Payback (Polydor, 1973); Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra, “A Sailboat in the Moonlight” (Vocalion, 1937); Amiri Baraka reading “Black Art” on Sonny Murray's Sonny's Time Now (Jihad Productions, 1965); Albert Ayler, “Ghosts (Variation 2),” Spiritual Unity (ESP-Disk, 1964); an advertisement for Beats by Dre headphones featuring Colin Kaepernick, 2013. The title of this episode is taken from Albert Ayler's Holy Ghost: Rare and Unissued Recordings (1962–70) (Revenant Records, 2004). Medium Rotation is produced by Alexander Provan with Andrew Leland, and edited by Provan with Matt Frassica.

Adapting performance work for Covid-19 safety — How performance operates without an audience present — How writing, sampling, and sound play in performance work — How the pandemic has shifted the way we think about institutional support and artist communities  In this episode, I talk to three artists in The Hammer exhibition, Made in L.A. 2020: A Version, which is on view but still not open to the public due to Covid-19 restrictions. Harmony Holiday, Aria Dean, and Jaqueline Kiyomi Gork all had planned performance works for the biennial exhibition and had to shift their artworks to accommodate for Covid-safety. We discuss the process of adapting their initially envisioned work, how performance becomes altered without audience participation, and how other disciplines like writing, sculpture, and sound play out in each artist's work. Together, the artists muse on issues that the pandemic has brought to light. How might alternative platforms privilege community and care for artists and performers? Hosted by Lindsay Preston Zappas

Friday Reading Series: Harmony Holiday & Lily Jue Sheng with Nyle Genevieve— January 10th, 2020 Hosted by Nicole Wallace. Harmony Holiday is a writer, dancer, archivist, director, and the author of four collections of poetry, Negro League Baseball, Go Find Your Father / A Famous Blues, Hollywood Forever, and A Jazz Funeral for Uncle Tom. She founded and runs Afrosonics, an archive of jazz and everyday diaspora poetics, and Mythscience, a publishing imprint that reissues and reprints works from the archive. She worked on the SOS, the selected poems of Amiri Baraka, transcribing all of his poetry recorded with jazz that has yet to be released in print and exists primarily on out-of-print records. Harmony studied Rhetoric at UC Berkeley and taught for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. She received her MFA from Columbia University and has received the Motherwell Prize from Fence Books, a Ruth Lilly Fellowship, and a NYFA Fellowship. She is currently completing a book of poems called M a à f a and an accompanying collection of essays and memoir, Love is War for Miles, both to be released this fall, as well as a biography of jazz singer Abbey Lincoln. Lily Jue Sheng works between moving image, collage, text, performance, and installation. Nyle Genevieve makes video art, comics, zines, music, and handmade apparel. They met in college at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and are both based in New York City. Nyle's series 'Winds of Change' and 'Never Sit' merge anthropomorphic existential crisis and female desire with doing everything yourself. She also plays drums for Nandas. Lily's video work 'Five Movements (五種流行之氣)' has expanded into select performances at The Knockdown Center (with Anjuli Rathod) and Roulette Intermedium (with Anjuli Rathod and Nyle Genevieve). 'Five Movements' uses cinema to describe feelings of melancholia -- the sensations of dreaming, and disrupting, myths surrounding the home. The third performance at The Poetry Project will include an expanded spoken word and unique subtitles in Shanghai dialect and English by Lily and a performed music score by Nyle.

SCRATCH: Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living (Simon & Schuster) Based on the online magazine of the same name, SCRATCH: Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living is a collection of honest and informative essays and interviews, addressing the relationships between writing and money, work and life, literature and commerce. In the literary world, we romanticize the image of the struggling artist, but pursuing a career as a creative also stirs a complicated discourse: either writers should be paid for everything they do or they should just pay their dues and count themselves lucky to be published. You should never quit your day job, but your ultimate goal should be to quit your day job. They are told by more-successful writers to “do it for the love,” but the advice gets quiet when it comes to how to make a living out of writing. It’s an endless, confusing, and often controversial conversation that, despite our bare-it- all culture, still remains taboo. For SCRATCH, editor Manjula Martin has gathered interviews and essays from established and rising authors to confront the age-old question: how do creative people make money? For the first time, these authors get down to the nitty gritty of money, MFA programs, freelancing, teaching fellowships, finally getting published, the bestseller list, and how they define “success”. They also tackle the penetrating questions on what living in the literary world is really like, including issues of diversity, female likeability, debt and credit, and having a family while managing an artists’ career. The result is an entertaining and inspiring book that helps readers and writers understand what it’s really like to make art in a world that runs on money—and why it matters. Essential reading for aspiring and experienced writers, and for anyone interested in the future of literature, SCRATCH is the go-to guide to doing the impossible: making a living by doing what you love. Praise for SCRATCH "Well-organized, fascinating anthology...highly recommended"-Kirkus Reviews "Solid counseling for aspirants on what it means to offer the labors of their heart for sale in the marketplace."-Publishers Weekly "Meaningful for those working in any discipline."-Booklist, Starred Review Manjula Martin created the blog Who Pays Writers? and was the founder and editor of Scratch magazine, an online periodical focused on the business of being a writer.
