About
the Work
“Sleng
Teng: This animation is a tribute to Sleng Teng, the first fully computerised
riddim, created through collaboration between Wayne Smith and Prince Jammy.
Smith’s version was Under Mi Sleng Teng. It became one of the most versioned
riddims in Jamaican music history. A few notable versions include Tenor Saw’s
Pumpkin Belly, Anthony Red Rose’s Under Mi Fat Thing and Johnny Osbourne’s Buddy
Bye.“
“Log
On: This is a piece I created in response to the recent hit Hotline Bling by
Drake. In the music video for the song, singer Drake and Canadian/Jamaican
choreographer Tanish Scott recreated a version of the dancehall move Log On,
inspired by a scene in the Sean Paul music video for Gimmi di Light which also
featured Scott.”
