AFROGLYPHICS® is a term coined and trademarked by Pianist, Composer and Educator Ashby Anderson to represent his music. it serves simultaneously as a term for the music, it's conceptual components and style.

The eponymous composition is inspired by the Black Power and Arts Movements of the 1960's and 70's. It acknowledges a cyclic reooccurrence of the frenetic energy, social unrest and political climate of that time compared with our current time in the 21st century.

The period between 1965 and 1975 brought with it a myriad of experimental approaches to Black Music, Arts, Literature and the Black Resistance. Those movements where spearheaded by the Black Community of that time,

Ashby continues the work applying those developments along with his own concepts to his works. His main goal for AFROGLYPHICS®, the term and the style, is to own his "Black Music Innovations" and to protect them against systemic theft that dilutes Black origins. AFROGLYPHICS® encodes Black sounds, images, concepts and technical innovations into audio, video and media for our current era.
