摘要：Paul Watkins sits down in Wayde Compton’s office in Vancouver for a personal and engaging interview. They discuss a wide range of topics, including Black British Columbian history and the historical black community of Hogan’s Alley, identity and race, improvising Blackness, Compton’s literary influences, the importance of tradition, formal and stylistic innovations, Kamau Brathwaite’s notion of tidalectics (a cyclical interpretation of history), multiculturalism, the role of the DJ as archivist, hip-hop and jazz music and culture, among other multifarious topics. The interview is available in a variety of audio formats, including its original unedited version, as well as in three sonic remixes, allowing the interview to embody the practice of “schizophonophilia” (the love of audio interplay) rather than only theorizing it.
