King Coal
A lyrical tapestry of a place and people, King Coal explores the complex history and future of the coal industry, the communities it has shaped, and the myths it has created. The film reshapes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking and transcends time and place, untangling the pain from the beauty and illuminating the innately human capacity for imagination and change. Featuring an original Breath Art soundscore created by Shodekeh.
Vodalities
“Vodalities” is the score of the three movement composition written by Shodekeh for the percussion ensemble Sō Percussion. The first movement “The Universality of Breath Art”, has just been recently archived in the Music division at the Library of Congress.
Ideations of Hope and Potential
Ideations of Hope, a 60-minute concert testimonial and master performance, is about Dominic Shodekeh Talifero’s personal and professional journey through time.
Shodekeh brings his musical passions to the materials in the Ideations of Potential collection. This is the first hip-hop based collection to enter Towson University’s Special Collections, the first in the University of Maryland system, and the first in the State of Maryland.
