JJJJJerome Ellis (any pronoun) is a disabled animal, artist, and proud stutterer. He prays, reads, gardens, cycles, surfs, and plays. Through music, text, performance, video, and photography he researches relationships among blackness, disabled speech, divinity, nature, sound, and time. Born in 1989 to Jamaican and Grenadian immigrants, he lives in Norfolk, Virginia, USA with his wife, ecologist-poet Luísa Black Ellis.
His debut album, The Clearing (2021), was called "an astonishing, must-listen project" (The Guardian). It was co-produced by NNA Tapes and The Poetry Project, and it was released with an accompanying book published by Wendy's Subway. Poet/essayist/playwright Claudia Rankine said of the book: "The Clearing is many things: a lyrical celebration of and inquiry into the intersections of blackness, music, and disabled speech; a restless interrogation of linear time; an intimate portrait of the author's real-time experience of his stutter; a baptism in syllable and sound.
Benjamin Rodgers and Zekarias Thompson started Agnes Martian in Oakland in 2019 as a weekly ritual of free form sonic exploration, drawing on friends from a wide variety of musical backgrounds for sprawling warehouse noise sessions. The project continually adapts to changing circumstances and moods, reflecting a collaborative and deconstructive approach to cosmic music-making.
