»A stutter… can be a musical instrument,« says JJJJJerome Ellis, a composer, producer, multiinstrumentalist, and writer from Norfolk, Virginia. Ellis speaks with a glottal block stutter, which manifests as involuntary pauses in speech. In his artistic practice, this interruption becomes compositional material: Pauses, repetitions, and extended silences fracture linearity, reorder time, and open space for a more patient, attentive form of listening.
Working across performance, sound, text, and improvisation, Ellis draws on free jazz, contemporary composition, musique concrète, gospel, and environmental music. Saxophone, organ, dulcimer, electronics, and voice converge in an ongoing exploration of Blackness, stuttering speech, time, and the natural world.
For Haus am Waldsee, Ellis is developing a musical performance that moves between the garden and the interior spaces of the house. The plants, textures, and acoustic conditions of the site are woven into an open composition shaped by the interplay of sound and silence, presence and interruption.
