Conversational Thoughts

Conversational Thoughts by Dj Administer on Mixcloud

Inspired by a ride on the subway and some recent work.  I saw a billboard for the new Broadway play, Gimme The Loot and I immediately thought of remixing the song over On Broadway by George Benson.  But rather than chopping it up, I played it over This Masquerade, which seemed a better fit musically and mentally.  I was also inspired by recent conversations at The Studio Museum In Harlem.  The Museums' Curator, Thelma Golden and Dr. Kenneth Davis of Mount Sinai Medical center participated in two conversations for the Aspen Ideas Festival.  Ms. Golden spoke with Actor and writer Anna Deveare Smith about the social and cultural responsibility and position of an institute like the Studio Museum In Harlem, and how fashion, past and current trends have helped to redefine and shape the future of the neighborhood.  Dr. Davis spoke on the future of medicine through genomics and his chosen field, psychology.  This conversation helped form the basis of this composition.  I hope you enjoy it.
