TAK Ensemble premieres Jessie Cox's Censored Sounds: Structural Erasure, an evening length work that centers perspective as it pertains to sound and acoustic perception. 

“It is a well-known fact that some of the photos that helped document the Holocaust were taken by Nazis. It is a well-known fact who lynched the Negroes. The Nazis tried to erase their own violence. Lynching happened both without record but also as mass spectacle with souvenirs. How many Black lives are taken by societal violence? The forgetting of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter is happening faster than time. Repression is a formal thing: “I am going to tell you what I am not.” Its form is just as important and defining as its content, if not more. Repression and false memory are the same: they both profess something by negating it. “I have already told you this. I already know this.” A déjà vu, a false memory, this way I don’t have to hear anything here. AGAIN: Repression is a formal thing: “I am going to tell you what I am not, which is really what I am” Its form is just as important and defining as its content, if not more. Repression and false memory are the same: they both profess something by negating it. “I already know this. It has already been done. I have already seen it.” A déjà vu, it’s a false memory, this way I don’t have to hear anything here. I am not listening.”
