Within the arts-practice based research project „Echoes in Motion“, the two hiphop-scholars Dr Jason Ng and Friederike Frost worked with the principle of call & response between dance and beatmaking.

Both hiphop-practicioners – Jason is a beatmaker going with the aka „SUBNET“ and Frieda is a breaker going as „Bgirl Frost“ – they created sounds based on movement-sonic dialogues and reflections within a one-week research residency at the Cologne HipHop Institute.

During a work-in-progress presentation on 19.05.2025, Jason and Frieda shared their creative process and reflections on music making, dance-sound synthesis and hiphop research in a practical-theoretical presentation at the AEB at University of Cologne.
