Lineage and Vision Festival 16: June 5-11
So much of our experience is increasingly place-less as franchise smiles crafted by human resources consultants greet us daily no matter what the biome or weight of memory. The fast food smile and store floor uniform must ever be the same. Crowd counts displace quality practices with childlike aspirations toward some eternal Superbowl as the only ...

Tomas Fujiwara Exploring the Drums' Potential as an Orchestra in Miniature
The drummer Tomas Fujiwara works with rhythm as a pliable substance, solid but ever shifting. Over the last five years he has established a busy profile on the experimental end of the jazz spectrum, where such perspective is vital; before that he was a cast member of “Stomp," the polymorphously percussive Off Broadway show.
