The Cultural Sonic Project: Educating And Celebrating Vodou Culture Through Afro-Electronica”
My name is Val Jeanty (aka Val-Inc). I am a Haitian electronic music composer, drummer and turntablist based in Brooklyn. My work merges the music of Vodou with electronic instruments; creating a genre called “Afro-electronica”. Afro-electronica is a music which preserves and celebrates Vodou Culture. For over a decade, I've been teaching music production, Dj classes, studying the art of Cymatics and sound frequency healing. My Afro-Electronica sound installations have been exhibited in a variety of venues from Manhattan’s Whitney Museum to the Biennale in Venice, Italy. Whether through chants, prayers, the drum or feet pounding the earth, sound is a universal language. It’s a connection to culture and empowerment. This has led me to this Cultural Sonic Project.
The details of The Cultural Sonic Project includes:
1) “KataloG 1” I (afro-electronica sound/visual record)
40 min Album/LP (sound/video)
Featuring: Buyu Ambroise, Jowee Omicil,
Sherley Ceasar, Erol Josue
2) Electro Vodou/ Afro-Electronica Classes/Workshop
Audio Institute Jacmel, Haiti
(a two week intense music program)
The purpose of these workshops is to educate
and reconnect to Vodou Culture through
Afro-Electronica
3) Performances: Afro-Electronica Sound Installations:
Locations: Port-Au-Prince, Haiti
MUPANAH museum (Haiti)
Kios Occide Jeanty (Haiti)
Funding objective for The Cultural Sonic Project is: $25,000.00
My mission is to preserve, educate and celebrate Vodou Culture through the sonic art of Afro-Electronica. I dedicate this project to empowering and furthering education about Vodou culture. Your financial support is greatly needed for this project to materialize. I urge you to donate whatever you can to keep this Culture alive.
