At Periscope Studio, we are coming up with weekly themes and letting any member with the time and inclination do a sketch. This is the first time I’ve joined in on the fun. This time we chose the electrifying musician Janelle Monae, whose ambitious”ArchAndroid” project marries a sprawling sci-fi concept to a sprawling command of the spectrum of funk, hip hop and R&B. In Monae-Math, it’s like 1927 (the year of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis) plus 1962 (James Brown Live at the Apollo) equals 2719 (the year of “The ArchAndroid). If you are intrigued by the sketch idea, check it out at periscopestudio.tumblr.com. If you are intrigued by Janelle Monae, track down her CD, Archandriod.
