Remix of Toni Blackman’s 2013 talk, “The Cipher, The Circle and its Wisdom” at TEDxUMassAmherst
0:00 - Toni briefly beatboxes, so I replicate her beat with an 808.
0:22 - Toni is taking the listener to church, so I use Charles Mingus’ gospel-inflected “Better Git It In Your Soul" (1959).
1:04 - I add in "Drums Unlimited" by Max Roach (1968) as Toni talks about jazz aficionados.
1:25 - For the theme of cross-generational connection, I add in "Droppin' Science" by Marley Marl featuring Craig G (1988).
3:11 - Building critical thinking and developing creativity in the cypher - I use the Digable Planets’ coolly intellectual jazz-based song "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" (1993).
