Holy Defiance is a pagan gospel blues album that is grounded in the belief that Black resistance is sacred, and acts of defiance are holy. The work explores the transformative power of embodied resistance and features recorded songs from various Pittman performances (from 2020-2025) and field recordings of improvisational scores, remixed to offer a durational listening experience as a form of meditation, honoring these rich traditions.

Moving between archival fragments, rehearsal notes, and speculative memory, Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars traces the embodied frequencies and assembled states of Black life. González theorizes Blackness as a grammar, occupying the interstices of white colonial culture; Black movement and expression are both defined by and break down the hegemonic. Through a consideration of land, politics, magic, and movement, this hybrid work performs the perpetually unfinished task of resistance.
