Within the last few years, Gibbs released solo works on Editions Mego and Northern Spy, and performed in collaboration with <b>Marshall Allen<\/b>, <b>Elliot Sharp<\/b>, <b>Don McKenzie<\/b> (as <b>Bootstrappers<\/b>), <b>Wadada Leo Smith<\/b>, and with theoretical physicist <b>Dr. Stephon Alexander<\/b> (as <b>God Particle<\/b>). He recently finished his first book, titled <b><i>How Black Music<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i><b><i>Took Over The World<\/i><\/b><i>,<\/i><b><i> <\/i><\/b>which will be published by Basic Books next year. Gibbs plays bass in the band <b>Body Me\u03c0a<\/b>, whose two albums to date \u2013 2021\u2019s <b><i>The Work Is Slow<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>(HAUSMO120) and 2024\u2019s <b><i>Prayer in Dub<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>(HAUSMO145) \u2013 were released by Hausu Mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hausu Mountain proudly presents <b>Melvin Gibbs<\/b>\u2019s <b><i>Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2<\/i><\/b><i>. <\/i>The avant-jazz odyssey finds him operating in the many-tendriled roles of composer, arranger, collagist, performer, and bandleader \u2014 all while merging together recordings that span two decades, featuring an interdisciplinary array of collaborators, into a composite whose overflowing amalgam of ideas transcend genre and categorization. Following in the <b><i>Anamibia <\/i><\/b>series of releases which began with <b><i>Anamibia Sessions 1: The Wave <\/i><\/b>(issued on legendary label <b>Editions Mego<\/b> in 2022 as one of the final releases selected by founder <b>Peter Rehberg<\/b> before his passing), <b><i>Amasia <\/i><\/b>shifts the focus from Gibbs\u2019s purely solo electronic experiments towards the realm of large ensemble assemblage, recontexualizing performances recorded as early as 2006 within the wide scope of his contemporary production and the in-the-studio contributions from collaborators in 2024-2025. The thrilling results find, to give one example, the inimitable guitarist <b>Pete Cosey<\/b> \u2013 former <b>Miles Davis<\/b> \/ <b>Muddy Waters<\/b> \/ <b>Herbie Hancock<\/b> associate \u2013 who recorded his parts in 2006 ripping his signature distorted leads alongside the organ and Wurlitzer of experimental jazz keyboard pillar <b>John Medeski<\/b> (also recorded in \u201906) over a drum performance by omnivorous luminary <b>Greg Fox<\/b> (recorded in 2025) \u2013 Gibbs\u2019s current bandmate in<b> Body Me\u03c0a<\/b>. As that example shows, Gibbs\u2019s temporally transplanted and recombined sessions defy the boundaries of space and time that normally apply to musical composition. But his production and editing \u2014 in addition to his drum programming, which takes cues from everything from present-day hip hop production to the more frenetic strains of contemporary electronic dance music \u2014 coheres the work into an electrifying mosaic of voices that testifies to his horizon-seeking vision as a modern composer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In his role as the spearhead of the many branching sonic facets of <b><i>Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2<\/i><\/b><i>, <\/i><b>Melvin Gibbs<\/b> drew inspiration from <b>Teo Macero<\/b> and <b>Miles Davis<\/b>\u2019s boundary-shattering production \/ editing on landmark albums including <i>Bitches Brew, On The Corner, <\/i>and <i>Get Up With It \u2014 <\/i>with the album <i>Agharta <\/i>serving as the primary inspiration and North Star for the album\u2019s creation. Gibbs began meticulously compiling and piecing together <b><i>Amasia<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of <b><i>Agharta<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>in 2025<i>, <\/i>an album whose expansive atmospheres and genre-agnostic experiments inform his work to this day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gibbs goes into detail about his compositional mindset and the many threads of history that went into <i>Amasia<\/i>\u2019s creation. In his own words:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Amasia<\/i><\/b> is subtitled <b><i>Anamibia Sessions 2<\/i><\/b> because, like my album <b><i>Anamibia Sessions 1: The Wave<\/i><\/b>, the initial spark came from my buddy, the great artist and great mind, <b>Arthur Jafa<\/b>. Arthur\u2019s prompt was simple: have a group of musicians play along to <b>Miles Davis<\/b>\u2019 <i>Bitches Brew<\/i> album, then make a record from the results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Amasia<\/i><\/b> isn\u2019t just a manifestation of my view of what an intergenerational embrace of the concept of Great Black Music should sound like. The work bridges the gap between alive and unalive in a Voodoo\/Hoodoo kind of way that you could look at as recentering the ancestral Afrocentric view of transhumanism in this moment where we\u2019re grappling with AI and the Silicon Valley \/ tech bro iteration of transhumanism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The original sessions that are the basis for this album happened back in 2006. Those sessions included three great musicians who are no longer with us: guitarist <b>Pete Cosey<\/b>, keyboard player <b>Onaje Allan Gumbs<\/b>, and multi-instrumentalist <b>Casey Benjamin<\/b>. The three of them are gone, but their vibration contributes an energy to this album that goes beyond representing some essence or signifying some emotion from the past, or simply invoking a bygone musical era. On this record, their performances get inserted into the current musical zeitgeist, and what they\u2019ve done maintains its dialogue with Black cultural evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2006 my Harriet Tubman bandmate drummer <b>J.T. Lewis<\/b> and I were also playing in <b>Pete Cosey<\/b>\u2019s \u201c<b>Children Of Agharta<\/b>,\u201d a band Pete put together to celebrate the era of Miles\u2019 music that he was a part of which also included, at various times, saxophonists <b>Gary Bartz<\/b>, <b>John Stubblefield<\/b>, and <b>Dave Leibman<\/b>, as well as <b>Johnny Juice<\/b>, the DJ of rap group <b>Public Enemy<\/b>, on percussion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">So, when I decided to make a record using Miles\u2019 music as the prompt, he was the first person I reached out to. J.T. and I flew out to Chicago, and the two of us recorded with Pete there. I remember Pete saying that it felt good to play with \u201cthe Chief,\u201d which is what band members called Miles, again at the session. I should note that Pete didn\u2019t know much about <i>Bitches Brew<\/i> beforehand. He told me, \u201cI didn\u2019t listen to it. I was listening to Black music.\u201d That statement seems dismissive until you remember that Miles put together the band Pete was a part of specifically to play Black music. After J.T. and I recorded with Pete in Chicago, I returned to New York and continued the project, working with keyboardist <b>John Medeski<\/b>, bass clarinetist <b>Alex Harding<\/b>, percussionist <b>Francisco Mora Catlett<\/b>, and vocalist\/beatboxer <b>Napoleon Maddox<\/b> as well as Casey and Onaje. The intergenerational aspect of the project was strong even then because Onaje was sort of a mentor to me, and Casey was a mentee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">That was the era when the music business had fallen apart. I ended up sitting on the sessions until 2010, when I discovered Bandcamp. I decided to mix three excerpts from the sessions and release them pretty much as-is as part of a series of ten weekly downloads hosted on the website that I called \u201cPhree-dem Downloads.\u201d 2010 was also the 40th anniversary of the release of <i>Bitches Brew<\/i>. It so happened that I got drafted to be part of one of the two major tribute projects dedicated to the album that were making the rounds of jazz festivals that year. I wanted these recordings to get the attention I feel they deserve, so I held off on finishing and releasing a record containing them at that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">When I learned that the year 2025 is the 50th anniversary of the original release of <b>Miles Davis<\/b>\u2019 <i>Agharta<\/i> album, I decided that now was the time to pull the sessions up and finish them. Pete\u2019s work is an integral part of that album, so I figured that this would be a good year to honor him, as well as honor what the sound of that era of Miles\u2019s music represents to me. I purposely did not include a trumpet player on the original sessions in 2006, but when I heard <b>Chris Williams<\/b>, I decided he was the right person with the right sound to help me finish the record, so I added him on. I also added drummer <b>Greg Fox<\/b> to give the record muscle and brought in keyboard player <b>deVon Grey<\/b> to add some final touches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The first time I heard Miles\u2019s album <i>On The Corner<\/i>, I didn\u2019t get it. I didn\u2019t understand why he\u2019d put out an album that had a bunch of songs with the same groove but different titles. It wasn\u2019t until after I heard <i>King Tubby\u2019s Meets Rockers Uptown<\/i>, got into dub music and \u201cversions,\u201d and grasped the idea that you can do multiple things with the same piece of recorded music that I understood and enjoyed what Miles and his producer <b>Teo Macero<\/b> were doing on that album. So I\u2019ve always heard Miles\u2019s \u201870s music as a form of dub music and related his \u201870s output to remix culture as much as I relate it to jazz. With that in mind, I wanted this project to highlight the producer \/ remixer aspect of my work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">I embraced the idea of world-building music while making <b><i>Amasia<\/i><\/b>. Agharta is alleged to be an occult kingdom in the middle of the Earth. In the late 70s, the Ansaru Allah community led by Dwight York, then known as Dr. York, were well known to Black Brooklynites. They published many tracts, including one titled \u201cShamballah and Aghaarta.\u201d My perspective on that alleged kingdom is colored by their perspective. <i>Pangaea,<\/i> the companion album to <i>Agharta<\/i> that was recorded at the same concert that produced <i>Agharta<\/i>, is named after the supercontinent that preceded the configuration of continents that we live on now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Amasia<\/i><\/b>, in contrast, is one proposed configuration for the supercontinent that will follow the configuration we\u2019re living on now. Making this record, I imagined <i>Amasia<\/i> as a companion world to Drexciya. In <i>The Wretched Of The Earth<\/i>, Franz Fanon, posits that music that, like the blues, was born during the experience of Black oppression will disappear because, in his words, \u201cn-words are disappearing\u201d. I posit that on Amasia, \u201cn-words\u201d will in fact have disappeared. But there will be reverence for those generations of Black people who persevered and struggled. They will be represented on Amasia by the sounds they have left behind, the sound we call the blues. So, even though the oppression that bracketed its creation is outside of the transhuman Amasian experience, music that references the initial creation of Black culture and music rooted in the blues will be integral to the music made there because it represents both their will to transcend and the depths of their prior fully-human experience\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The <i>Agharta<\/i> band was all about multiple levels of rhythm, so that\u2019s a key component of the tracks of the first three tracks of <b><i>Amasia<\/i><\/b>, as well as \u201cLuigi Takes A Walk.\u201d On this record, I didn\u2019t create any flashy focal points for myself. My \u201csolos\u201d are my sound design work, like on \u201c16 Dimensions of Underwater Light\u201d and the post-Teo Macero arranging and chopping I do on \u201cLuigi Takes a Walk\u201d and \u201cO.G. Dreams of Lost Love.\u201d The trio of \u201cFelonious Monk\u201d, \u201cGullah Jack Style,\u201d and \u201cThe Very First Flower\u201d feature me in producer and composer mode laying out what I think electric \u201cjazz\u201d should sound like right now. The<b> Art Ensemble Of Chicago<\/b>\u2019s motto \u2013 \u201cBlack Music &#8211; Ancient to the Future\u201d \u2013 are the watchwords for what I wanted to accomplish on those three and overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/?attachment_id=7422\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7422\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
