This Island Earth
Sunday February 12th, 2017 with PeterB
Minimalist and ambient-ish works, in honour of Philip Glass' 80th. And, Black History Month too. Hmm…
Today's This Island Earth mis-adventure started off as two entirely different themes. Minimalism, in honour of Philip Glass' 80th. And Black History month. We feature some terrific collaborations, lots of new stuff from unexpected sources, upcoming live shows to not miss. And, no doubt, one of the best civil rights speeches ever.
Please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!
