ON DUB POETRY

On By Jah BillahIn dUb, Dub Culture DepartmentLeave a comment

Words, nevertheless, and our attitudes to them, are the heart of the matter, the site of contention between dub poetry’s true believers and those of us applauding only some of the talent. Offered Mikey Smith’s ‘Me Cyaan Believe It’, for example, or Linton Johnson’s ‘Reggae fi Dada’, or Jean Binta Breeze’s ‘Riddym Ravings’ we can enjoy the value-added of performance. For though everybody knows that dub poetry is meant to be performed, and
though some poems are most fully realized in performance, people who enjoy poetry (and not only ‘dub poetry’) tend to be biased in favour of poems that offer riches before and after, not only during or because of, performance.
They privilege the word. Like Gordon Rohlehr we are drawn to ‘the more complex abstracts from experience, in preference to simple statement of it, we need ‘to feel that a writer is trying to use language imaginatively- any language in which he chooses to write.’

ON COMPUTER MUSIC

On By Jah BillahIn dUbLeave a comment

Consider this. Arriving at your studio, a young student sits down at a computer with a synthesizer keyboard in front of it. Putting on the headphones, he begins his ritualistic playing of the Minuet in G using a harpsichord setting on the synthesizer. After yielding to the temptation to punch all of the buttons on the synthesizer (which is always amusing), he puts a disk into the computer and does rhythm drills. (He’ll tell you that doing rhythm drills with the drum sounds of the synthesizer is much better than hand clapping.) At the end of his private lesson, you suggest that he drill his IV chords using the harmony program. Meanwhile a high school student, at the computer and synthesizer of course, is
putting the finishing touches on his original composition. It’s a piece for piano, violin and synthesizer. He was able to enter all of the parts from keyboard and is now editing the notated score that appears on the computer screen. After his lesson he’ll have the computer print out the violin part. Rehearsal is tomorrow and he wants to get feedback from the violinist . . .This is not a scenario from the twenty-first century. It’s happening today.

ON THE RADICAL SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

On By Jah BillahIn dUbLeave a comment

The Situationists were a loose movement founded in the late 1950s by a group of Western European artists, theorists and political radicals. The group rejected orthodox leftwing politics and political activities in favour of direct intervention into the symbolic order of advanced capitalism and rejected concepts such as individual authorship and copyright. One of their best known tactics was that of the détournement, which involved turning the logic of capitalism against itself in manners that illustrated its inadequacies. This approach manifested itself in various ways, such as re-utilising and/or altering public images by graffiti or staging disruptive performances in public spaces without announcement or explanation.

In the case of Britain, one of the best know examples of the latter approach took place at Harrods, London’s celebrated upmarket department store, in December 1967. A group of radical students dressed up in Father Christmas outfits and went into the toy department and started giving toys away to children as presents (thereby embodying the rhetorical ‘spirit of Christmas’). Their action prompted security staff to intervene, scuffling with the Santas as they attempted to stop and detain them, causing stress and consternation amongst the parents and children present.
