about

'state of emergence' is an epic side-long suite, described as "exquisite and emotionally raw" by Robin D.G. Kelley in the liner notes for Asher's forthcoming debut LP, Dialectic Soul, "and will render you completely incapacitated for the rest of the day. It's a piece of music that you will not forget.

Asher introduces his composition "state of emergence" as the themes that constitute the album; free drums representing autonomous African motion, the saxophone reflecting deeply and honestly on the violence of colonialism. The teachings of Coltrane, Biko, Makeba, Malcom and others inspire the music's positive manifestation of resistance.

"Fundamentally, it is about the reclamation of the historical imperative. It is about the dialect of the soul and the spirit while it moves through history. The soul is dialectic. Motion is imperative. We keep moving."
