Marshall Allen's Ghost Horizons: Live in Philadelphia
by Mark Corroto
In 2025, the Collegium Cardinalium, or College of Cardinals--a body formed in the Middle Ages--convened a conclave in Rome to elect a new Pope for the Catholic Church. Nearly five centuries before the inception of such conclaves, Tibetan Buddhists established their own process of succession by searching for the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, often discovered in the form of a child. These spiritual traditions of succession are vital for preserving the identity, rituals and philosophies of their institutions. Each ...

by Glenn Astarita
Anthony Pirog's The Hunger Artist is a sprawling, bold opus that defies easy categorization. This sonic collision of jazz, rock, and experimental music is a semi-chaotic beauty that rewards the adventurous listener with its sheer unpredictability. Pirog, a guitar alchemist known for his boundary-pushing artistry, delivers a mesmerizing work that is less a collection of songs and more a journey through the looking glass of sound. The guitarist has previously conjured aural magic with cellist Janel Leppin and ...
