I wrote an article for the latest issue of MEANS Magazine. It includes reflections on shakuhachi-making and initiatives to build artistic infrastructures outside of the decaying machinery of established institutions. Loads of goodies in here apart from me! Support the resistance — pick up a copy.
Thank you for making #BandcampFriday such a blast for MEANS Magazine #3: HOPE/MAGIC. We'll send your copies out ASAP.
There are still copies left, so don't worry if you missed your chance to grab one.
