*Text in French* A short story by Xavier Forneret, set to music by Nurse With Wound. A wealthy Romantic, Xavier Forneret published his writings and theater at his own expense.

Music, said Zen patriarch Hui Neng, "is a means of rapid transformation." It takes us home to a natural world that functions outside of logic, where harmony and dissonance, tension and release work in surprising ways. Weaving memoir, travelogue, and philosophical reflection, Sudden Music presents a musical way of knowing that can closely engage us with the world and open us to its spontaneity.Improvisation is everywhere, says David Rothenberg, and his book is a testament to its creative, surpris…

The creative cover flap includes a CD with audiotracks and multimedia d…
An assignment: find the titles of Rob Mazurek’s records and the names of his bands. Put them in a line. Now tell me he’s not a poet. Mazurek is a bona fide polymath. He thinks in multiple media. One modality bleeds into another, the musical into the visual into the verbal. And they are cumulative, as seen and heard and read in these beautiful poems. Colors explode, repetitions draw musicality out of words, text refers to the shape of a sound. Conjuring a cosmic sonosphere, the sound-crust on the…

New stories from the fringes of pop culture!Guided by a shared curiosity for layers that lie a little deeper, the authors in this 4th issue take an empathetic look at the footnotes of cultural history, at the supposedly insignificant or odd – somewhere between obsession and outsiderdom, myth and everyday life, personal reflection and historical context. By covering underground music, cinema and literature, by tracing lives of radical devotion, careers and dreams marked by ruptures and tipping po…
