Nadine Robinson and Camille Norment, Slow Jam – Horace Brockington Nadine Robinson and Camille Nor
Monday, 3 July 2006 08:20Nadine Robinson and Camille Norment, like Aretha, invite you into her sound, but not the expected range of artists playing with music.

Julie Fishkin, The Politics of Surfeit – Andrea Liu
Monday, 3 July 2006 08:17"The secret organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio–rippling arpeggios of thyme, lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon; a series of modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar and new-mown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord–a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig’s […]

SoPercussion – Dawn Chan
Monday, 3 July 2006 08:08If classical musicians had their way, they’d choose to be invisible. For example, pianist Sviatoslav Richter performed his later concerts in halls that were almost completely dark, lit only by a single piano lamp that let him see the keyboard.

Kathrin Becker, Displaced – Colleen Becker
Monday, 3 July 2006 08:05Monuments inspire serious reflection on a communal past. Resonant with the sentiment "life is short, art is long," bronze busts, stone obelisks and neo-classical marbles–the typical stuff of memorials–fuse form and function to create permanent sites for personal reflection within public spaces.

Seen and Herd – Daniel Menasche
Monday, 3 July 2006 08:01At the age of nine, I stood on the slanted front porch of our farmhouse as a giant Transformer approached from the horizon, cratering the landscape with its iron feet, moving as slowly but as inevitably as an approaching thunderstorm.
