Jon Irabagon: Server Farm

Read "Server Farm" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

Jon Irabagon: Server Farm

Read "Server Farm" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Warning! Warning! Heads up! Spoiler alert! Server Farm has the potential to take your head to some random places. Some alarming (as all artists should be these days), Some cacophonous. Some claustrophobic. Others freeing, fleeting, fervent. Server Farm, saxophonist/composer Jon Irabagon's heatedly precise and prescient head-on clash with the threat of AI blisters the ...
