Sonic Lecture
Sonic lecture and listening session
Metro 54, Amsterdam (2023)

”The first installation of our three-part series, "This Sonic Lecture is A Vibe". This series brings together histories of piracy culture, remix, questions of ownership, and street culture. How does music, sound narrate our histories into the future?

In this a lecture-based DJ set and an open listening session with artist, DJ, and sound designer, Ashley Holmes draws inspiration from the diverse and influential genres that emerged from the African/Black diaspora. Holmes will take you on a sonic voyage that traverses the landscapes of dub, delving into the depths of tempo, multiplicity, spatial arrangement, rhythm, and drawing connections between past and present within broader social contexts.”
