Unique New York: This season, the MASC Lab’s Podcasts series focuses on themes connected to place, in this case New York City, and the many interconnected realities of life in the big apple. Our process is inquiry based and we chose this season’s focus by starting with the question: What is unique or strange about NYC? Our collaborative podcast series this semester grew out of that question, in one way or another.

Sound capsule 2020: Loops and samples, presence and collective memories, creativity and remixing multiplicities in music education

In what ways can sound snippets, traces, and edges that hold intimate and every day personal and collective feelings and memories of our lives during this pandemic spark creativity and reflection? How can this practice meet educational spaces of all kinds? In this episode from the series “Sounds of the Pandemic,” MASCLab member Shoshana Gottesman shares her composition of sounds from the pandemic submitted by members of the MASC Lab alongside the loops and samples of music producer and Teachers College doctoral student Chucky Kim. From there, Shoshana and Chucky explore together how this kind of co-creating through sampling, beatmaking, soundscapes, loops, remixes, and found sounds within music education is a way to facilitate creative moments within the framework of community especially during this time of pandemic.

Episode 6 of (Re)Search for Solutions takes a hard look at how in some cases, communities, especially communities of color, are harmed by efforts claiming to be in service of stopping gun violence. We look at one of the most well-known examples of discriminatory policing, “Stop and Frisk,” and how these types of ineffective practices become legitimized.

Sonali interviews Ekow Yankah, a Professor at the Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, and Sarah Lustbader, a public defender in New York City, about criminal law and policing as they relate to gun violence. Iesha Sekou, the CEO and founder of Street Corner Resources, also paints a picture of the profound effects gun violence has on communities.
