ARCHITECTURAL LISTENING WITH TRU SOUND
July 23, 2025
7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
In Collaboration With
California African American Museum
Join artist Tru Sound for an intimate sonic response to J. Yolande Daniels: To A Future Space-Time. Centered on Leimert Park, this live experience explores the mapped autonomy of Black communities through sound, space, and memory.
Using site-specific field recordings, reinterpreted dictionary plates, and archival material, Tru Sound creates a layered listening session that reimagines how Black life resonates within and beyond architecture.
Come listen, reflect, and experience space-time through sound.
Speakers
Tru (Philip Patrick Harper) is a first-generation Belizean-American artist from Leimert Park, CA. Drawing from his cultural heritage, Tru’s work intersects sound art, performance, and multime
dia installation and centers on the fusion of experimental sound with storytelling, technology, and social history. He has collaborated with institutions such as Center Theatre Group, USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, LA Dance Project, Ballet BC and Netherlands Dance Theatre. His explorations in sound have been featured in major spaces like Dartmouth College, Mark Taper Forum, The Greek Theatre, The Whitney Museum, and was recently commissioned to compose a new original work for Paris Opera Ballet.
