Fountain #3 by JJJJJerome Ellis

Composer, poet, and performer JJJJJerome Ellis today continues his pre-pandemic practice of giving live sound baths and his ongoing investigation into forms of "infinite music" with the release of "Fountain #3” -- his latest piece of perpetual music.

Following "Fountain #2" (which premiered exclusively on the ISSUE Project Room website for 24 hours a day as part of his 2021 ISSUE Residency), Ellis invites listeners to visit the fountain as often as they want, for as long as they want, and he encourages them to use the music to accompany the rhythms of their lives.

JJJJJerome Ellis’ current practice explores blackness, music, and disabled speech as forces of refusal and healing. Ellis’s work has been heard at Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Poetry Project, Sotheby’s, Soho Rep, and on This American Life. He’s a 2019 MacDowell Fellow, a writer in residence at Lincoln Center Theater, and a 2015 Fulbright Fellow.
