About Alix:
Jamaican-born and Berlin/Taiwan-based, Alix Julian Edwards orbits a diverse spectrum of sounds, ranging from Hip Hop, Jazz, Bass, House, and Techno. Trained in dance and vocally from a young age and studying jazz piano paved the way for his productions, fully utilizing his musical exposure. On Baihui Radio, he hosts 'Series of Existence', described as 'Nostalgia experienced in the waking state echos throughout our many lives and existences. A familiar feeling experienced in the present yet unknown to it. This collective response triggers the portal to our mind and the universes entangled within it.'
Summary:
In this episode, we explore the experience of discomfort and adaptation, the importance of developing one’s interiority, the self as a sanctuary, safety in creative practice, American culture, Jamaican diasporic cultures, inter-cultural paradigms, expression, colonialism, food, music, sound and rhythms as home, how to embody home in language, dance, and the body itself.
