About the event
They explore new approaches, philosophies and spiritual experiences in Jazz through an Afrofuturistic lens using the music as a tool for liberation. Melding Jazz, Hip‑Hop, and Electronic music, this immersive project explores the shared properties between improvisation, quantum physics, and the cosmos.
By leveraging quantum computer powered improvisation systems the ensemble brings quantum phenomena into live musical performances, illuminating new dimensions of Jazz. DBRC also engages deeply with cultural narratives incorporating themes of generational trauma, mental health, racial and cultural identity.
Their work acts as a counterpoint to Silicon Valley’s history of displacement, demonstrating how emergent technology can be reclaimed, repurposed, and used to amplify the voices of communities of color.
