To my faithful readers:

I am currently swamped with school work these days, so it may be a while longer before my next review appears. I am also putting together a long write-up on the ECM exhibition at Munich’s Haus der Kunst, which I was fortunate enough to experience firsthand last month, and where I saw Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin, Evan Parker’s new quartet, Food, and Tim Berne’s Snakeoil perform, so do keep an eye out for my thoughts on those. In the meantime, if you’re interested in my academic side, you can read this recent review that I wrote of a friend’s dissertation, which takes a critical look at the deployment of popular song in Korea under Japanese occupation.
