ALL PIB SLOW PLAY
A SEDIMENTATION OF HISTORY AND SOUND
All Pib Slow Play: A Sedimentation of History and
Sound is a decelerationist music and food
programming project pairing cumbia rebajada (slowed
cumbia) with the cooking of tamales using an earth
oven — the Pib.
Named after DJ Screw's 1999 record, All Work No
Play, and a letter to Elysia Crampton, All Pib Slow
Play is a means to research, practice, and evolve
traditions that generations of Indigenous families
have kept alive across the Americas and around the
world while celebrating the fruits of the soil.
While All Pib Slow Play Volume I was about sharing
food on a farm and broadcasting on Local Radio,
Volume II centers around a social sculpture melding
soundsystem and grill in Cactus Store’s NY garden
as an experience in deceleration. Through evolving
forms, All Pib Slow Play centers slowness as a
vehicle and embodied acts as essential modes of
representation and knowledge to awaken a resistance
to destierro (uprooting) through memories of home/
lands and land practices.
All Pib Slow Play is an investigation of the
potential for socio-ecological interfaces —
bringing ‘nature’ and ‘culture,’ the ancient and
contemporary, together through living forms — from
the ground beneath our feet to sounds echoing down
city streets. Digging beneath the surface of our
daily accelerationist culture through pib and
rebajada methods, All Pib Slow Play is a chance to
move slower with and closer to the earth.

All Pib Slow Play was conceptualized by Giguel
Maybach in collaboration with Jeemin Shim,
Kyle Richardson, Pancho Blood, and Zoila Coc-Chang.
This website was coded by Pancho Blood and edited
by Jeemin Shim.
Vol. I was produced in collaboration with Geovanni
Barrios, Isabel Rooper, Jacqueline Munno, Mike
Tully, Pancho Blood, Sandra Trigueros and her
family, and thanks to the assistance of Yale Farm
volunteers. It was supported by the Yale Sustainable
Food Program and Yale School of Art's inaugural
student-curated exhibition, No White Walls.
Vol. II was produced in collaboration with Andrea
Bonin, Brenda Castellanos and Ix Restaurant,
Christian Cummings, Jeemin Shim, Joe Valle and the
Cactus Store staff, Rainstick, and thanks to the
assistance of Alex Kapsidelis, Eduardo Reyes, John
Sampson, Mike Tully, Nick Boso, Zack Wangeman and
Sobre Masa. It was supported by Nonhuman Teachers
and, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary
Arts grant.
As an ongoing project, research will continue to
be gathered on this Arena channel, with occasional
updates made to this website.
