Sounds of the Circle is a tribute to the places and relationships in North Philadelphia that inspired Odean Pope’s artistic vision. In this video musician, composer, and improviser Jason Moran shares his own reflections on the relationship between “place” and music——-the influence of his upbringing in Houston, and living and studying in New York, on the ways he makes and experiences music. This Artforum Video supports Moran’s solo exhibition at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art, running through January 5, 2020.
