Jacob Blake 05:51

about

The third track of the 'Black Lives Matter' project - a collaboration between Norwich-based trumpeter Chris Dowding and artist Laure Van Minden.

Jacob Blake thankfully survived being shot seven times by a Kenosha officer, though is paralysed from the waist down. What happens when we play the name of someone still alive, compared to a dead person's name? Can we be visited by the spirit in the same way?

'Jacob Blake' was the first track where I recorded the distortion tracks 'properly', with a mic, and also features a distortion trumpet solo, in the distance...

Chris:

"... I was thinking we could maybe ask about maybe doing some workshops with our project... maybe we could do a gig in the Undercroft with the group participating.... making a piece with the group..."

Laure:

"When I saw the drawing, it dawned on me that I had drawn like a cross and the smoke coming out of the gun..."
