Abstract

This chapter opens with a discussion of the movie The Last Angel of History and focuses on sound transmission through the ages as a kind of sonic technology. The movie is put in dialogue with Amiri Baraka’s essay on “The Changing Same,” where African-American music develops by continually expanding from specific core aesthetic and musical dimensions. To illustrate Baraka’s points, the chapter then discusses the music of Eddie Harris and sound found in stories by Henry Dumas.
