Commemorate Yom Hashoah Holocaust Remembrance Day — see New York Times Critic’s Pick Who Will Write Our History May 5 *only* in Asheville followed by a discussion. A Portion of the Proceeds will benefit the NC Council on the Holocaust. Marty Mann will introduce the film and discuss the North Carolina Council on the Holocaust, an agency of the N.C. Department of Public Instruction which provides teacher workshops and educational resources across the state.

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars, and community leaders decided to fight back. Meet this clandestine group who vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper in Who Will Write Our History, from Roberta Grossman and Nancy Spielberg.

They detailed life in the Ghetto from the Jewish perspective. They commissioned diaries, essays, jokes, poems, and songs. They documented Nazi atrocities with eyewitness accounts. They sent reports of mass murder to London via the Polish underground. Then, as trains deported them to the gas chambers of Treblinka and the Ghetto burned to the ground, they buried 60,000 pages of documentation in the hopes that the archive would survive the war, even if they did not.

Mary Lattimore & Mac McCaughan

When I was very young I developed a fascination with the makeup of the classic symphony orchestra, in large part due to the fact that my grandfather was on the board of the Jackson, Mississippi symphony. Most of my interests in life led to some sort of obsession with taxonomy, and the sheer variety of instruments was what probably grabbed me at first. I recall my grandad saying something about the harp, that was like an ‘open piano,’ piano being his primary instrument at the time. I never even began to grasp the complex universe of this otherworldly instrument even as my own fascination with stringed instruments developed over the years.

I’ll admit some bias here. Mary Lattimore and Mac McCaughan are both dear friends and collaborators. But they are also two people to whom I look for a sort of life inspiration because they share similar prismatic views of life’s possibilities – an unbridled enthusiasm and a desire to be constantly seeking. This endless and rambling energy certainly informs the music that they make separately, but coming together here as a duo makes so much sense, spiritually as much as musically. And as the results will testify to your ears, it’s a lovely concord of sounds they’ve made for you.

I don’t know how you feel, but if our current social and cultural landscape is one of exhausting noise, chaos, and unconscious verbalism, then the pieces on New Rain Duets express an impossibly gorgeous anecdote. Diaphanous melody emerges from the strings of Mary’s harp, at times reminiscent of a room full of antique music boxes playing different songs but in accord. The synthesizer textures from Mac float in and around the harp’s arpeggios, warm like cloud cover, then disturbed and more harshly electronic. Like the textures on Bowie’s Berlin albums with Eno, there is a ceaseless sense of beauty and foreboding coexistent.

The four movements in this collaboration snake and float through a liminal sonic universe, without a linear sense of tension/release but rather a calm and brooding build into a widening pool of immersive sound. The title, New Rain Duets, gives me an evocative sense of just that, rain falling in some far off locale, a sort of psychedelic natural tone poem. One of the great strengths of this duo is that both artists are consistently searching with their own sounds. Mary manipulates her harp with loop and delay pedals while Mac mimics on his synthesizers, layering and processing as he goes. The final marriage of tones and players yields the perfect balance of acoustic and electronic. It’s a new vein of chamber music, both meditative and exploratory.

As a Southerner, I guess I want to make something of a case for the North Carolina roots of both Mary and Mac, that as if there’s some sort of rural Gothic energy flowing through these sounds like ghosts in the countryside. That would be disingenuous to both artists though. The truth is “cosmic music” doesn’t belong to anyone of a particular time or geography. It lives not just in the notes played but the ones in between, and when rendered in such a way as this record, it yields a thing of true beauty and wonder.

Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band consists of Kerry Alexander, Chris Hoge, and Connor Davison. Named for a trouble-making character from the Madeline children’s books, Bad Bad Hats is defined by a balance of sweet and sour. Their music honors classic pop songwriting, with nods to nineties rock simplicity and pop-punk frivolity. Through it all, Alexander’s unflinchingly sincere lyrics cut to the emotional heart of things.

Visitors can see the installation at the Sandburg Home when they visit. Young artists are represented from across the country and locally, including students from Sugarloaf Elementary School in Hendersonville, NC.

NO REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY.

Taoist Tai Chi® grew out of this tradition and is a way to develop a body that is strong, yet supple, balanced and energetic, a mind that is calm and clear, yet creative and dynamic, and a spirit that is light and peaceful, yet resilient. Taoist Tai Chi® exercises the whole physiology including muscular, skeletal, and circulatory systems, as well as tendons, joints, connective tissue and organs. Rather than depending on the development of hard muscle tissue, Tai Chi develops a body that is relaxed and strong at the deepest levels. The gentle internal movements are balanced throughout the body and have a calming effect on the mind. Taoist Tai Chi® is truly a moving meditation.
