fear no sound
Botanica X:
Our motto is Fear No Sound, and we embrace the freedom of creativity inherent in sound as a plastic medium. No distinction is made between signal and noise. We consider all sounds to be of a celestial nature, and privilege the sense of hearing over the other senses, for the explicit purpose of immersion in the world of SOUND.
The signature style of Botanica X is Neodarkglamambient – which emerged out of a need to bridge the schism in popular music (phylogenetic, spiritual, economic and cultural) that emerged, or was perhaps induced, during the post-modern and new monopoly trust era.
We are the other side of the void – or at least a beginning; fertilized by the sounds of the Neolithic, slave spirituals, the autochthonous, the electronic, the experimental, the numinous and the unnamed. We seek to keep alive and provide the necessary means for a renaissance of Creative Black Music. We however are not monastic – Botanica X is dedicated to new forms, styles and emotional outlets.
Charles Edward Fambro:
All of our releases are produced by Charles Edward Fambro, whose work is dedicated to building a foundation for a new understanding of Creative Black Music – which encompasses work not only in Sound but also visual art, graphic notation, teaching and writing, potlatch, performance and ritual; including new nomenclatures, revised ontologies, and aural psychogeography.
He has received various awards and commissions for his work, notable among them is the 10-channel sound installation "Alien Stingers," composed for the New York Aquarium and commissioned by the World Wildlife Fund. Charles' latest commission was the sound installation for "Medicine," (by Simone Leigh) part of Creative Time's Black Radical Brooklyn project.
His work has been written about in the Wire, musicworks, AfroPunk, Pink Tentacle, Chicago Reader magazine, and BADD Press – A Music Blog for Modernists. He also founded and developed the "teaching ecology," for the The Cooper Union School of Art Saturday Program’s Sound Composition class, one of the first in the country.
