Your boy always do that. You knock, somebody say come in. You open the door, look around, call out, nobody there. You think!
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 But then at once, music comes on. If you watching, there\u2019s a bluish shaking that flickers\u2014maybe \u201cMisterioso\u201d will surround you. The music is wavering like light. The room seems to shift, to step.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Then you recognize what you hear, man. \u201cAw, brother, you at it again. You in here, ain\u2019t you?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A laugh. This dude.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cYeh, I\u2019m in here. You hear me. You feel me. Here I am.\u201d He appears, laughing and pointing at you. \u201cHey, man. I\u2019m still developing this.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWhat you call it?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cAnyscape. The 1st one. Molecular Anyscape. The Resoulocator\u2014that was the improvement. T-Dis-Appear. Nicknames. Perfect Nigger. American Citizen. Ellisonic. Migration. I got a name for each step.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cAnd now?\u201d I rolled my eyes as he got completely out next to me, dissing the Dis report on Appearance.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cThis is the next to last. I can disappear. Dis visibility, be unseen. But now I can be around anyway, perceived, felt, heard. I can be the music! Yeh. But now I got something even heavier.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This dude is out\u2014it ain\u2019t no jive. He had actually done those things. And he never swore me to secrecy either. He just fixed it so I couldn\u2019t remember nothing, except when I came back.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cFurther out? The cloth refiner?\u201d He said he needed to make the cloth fade more so he could get in and out of the bank w\/o any hysteria. It took a few hundred thousand to get where he was technically.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cHow come they don\u2019t detect the money splitting?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWell, I ain\u2019t been able to stabilize the cloth thing. Sometimes people see the money floating off. But I still get away.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cHow come they don\u2019t say nothin\u2019?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWell, it\u2019s hard to explain, I guess. Floating money. They studying it.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cOh?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cA few weeks more, I\u2019ll rob all the mammy-jammas clean!\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWow!\u201d I thought of a stream of exclamations, but I could only analyze it while hearing it. I needed to reflect, but your boy wouldn\u2019t allow it.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cBut now, B., dig this! I pushed the Anyscape into Rhythm Spectroscopic Transformation. And then I got it tuned to combine the Anywhereness and the Reappearance as music!\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWhat? Brother, you know this is some deep technical stuff.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cAw, no it ain\u2019t. It\u2019s science. I can teach people how to make and use these. \u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWhat?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cNow I added Rhythm Travel! You can disappear & reappear wherever and whenever that music played.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWhat?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cSo if you become \u201cBlack, Brown & Beige,\u201d you can reappear anywhere and anytime that plays.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cGo anywhere?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cYeh, like if I go into \u2018Take this Hammer,\u2019 I can appear wherever that is, was, and will be sung.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cYeh, but be that song and you be on a plantation.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI know.\u201d He was grinning. \u201cI went to one.\u201d He was staring me down, winking without his eye. \u201cI seen some brothers and sisters digging a well. They were singing this and I begin to echo. A big hollow echo, a sorta blue shattering echo. The Bloods got to smilin because it made them feel good, and that\u2019s the way they heard it anyway. But the overseers and plantation masters winced at that. They\u2019d turn their heads sharply back and forth, looking behind them and at the slaves. Man, the stuff I seen!\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cYou mean you been Rhythm Traveling already?\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cYeh, I turned into some Sun Ra and hung out inside gravity. You probably heard of the Scatting Comet. Babs was into that.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cReally? Man, so\u2014\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI know. Why? What I\u2019m gonna do with it? Yeh, but I\u2019m just explaining now. I got a lotta tests.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI guess so.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cBut I want you to try it.\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cHey …\u201d
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cHey, brother. Ain\u2019t no danger. Just don\u2019t pick a corny tune.\u201d<\/p>\n

In dit korte afro-futuristische verhaal, geschreven door Amiri Baraka in 1995, ontdekt een ongenaamde uitvinder een manier om terug te reizen door de tijd \u2013 door muziek. \u201cI duwde de Anyscape in de Rhythm Spectroscopic Transformation. En toen stemde ik het af zodat Anywhereness kan worden gecombineerd met de Reappearance als muziek!\u201d legt de uitvinder uit. \u201cNu voeg ik Rhythm Travel toe! Je kunt verdwijnen en verschijnen waar en wanneer die muziek speelde.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":38052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"focus":[301],"prospection_category":[295,180,179],"class_list":["post-38045","prospection","type-prospection","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","focus-no-linear-fucking-time-nl","prospection_category-archief","prospection_category-beeld","prospection_category-tekst"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prospection\/38045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prospection"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prospection"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38045"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prospection\/38045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38833,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prospection\/38045\/revisions\/38833"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"focus","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/focus?post=38045"},{"taxonomy":"prospection_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.bakonline.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prospection_category?post=38045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
