Why I Traveled to Standing Rock
When I first heard about construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, it was mostly through friends sharing articles and livestream videos on Facebook. I remember seeing a picture of protestors confronted by an array of armored tanks and riot police, and a picture of a Native American man who had been shot in the face and was bleeding profusely from a rubber bullet.
Will the New Star Wars Films Be the Same Old Story?
This month, Rogue One, the first of many anticipated Star Wars spinoff tales, hits theaters. Apparently, we’re getting a new Star Wars film every year, indefinitely. The hype and subsequent backlash over The Force Awakens is still a vivid memory, and Rogue One may have to deal with the same problems. The consensus around The Force Awakens is that it’s either a fun and exciting (if not particularly groundbreaking) film, or a completely unoriginal retread of all the plot points from the original.
Wolf People // Ruins
Some psychedelic stoner rock comes off more convincing than others. Ruins has a retro authenticity that’s almost confusing. The fuzz thickly coats every pentatonic guitar lick. Vocals start off extra gritty in “Ninth Night,” as if frontman Jack Sharp were calling us long-distance from overseas. The distortion transitions into echoey reverb by the time the first “Kingfisher” hits (there are two reprises).
Jazz Legend William Parker Plays PACA
For some of the most exciting moments of modern jazz, William Parker has been there. The New York City bassist remains one of the seminal figures of the free jazz scene. Erie audiences will get a chance to see Parker perform a solo set at the Performing Arts Collective Alliance (PACA). In addition to being one of the world’s most highly regarded double bassists, Parker is also a consummate storyteller, with entertaining introductions and musical insights peppering his performances.
Virginia Wing // Forward Constant Motion
A meditative modern dancepop record, Forward Constant Motion presents an inviting paradox. The synthesized, almost liturgical belltones merge with programmed midtempo grooves. Alice Merida Richards’ vocals are soothing and measured, her phrasing doled out by bandmate Samuel Pillay’s sequencing and sound sampling. There’s a delicate balance of humanity and technology, between lush brilliance and sterile, futuristic tones.
