Jeff Mills: Tomorrow Comes the Harvest at Brooklyn Academy of Music
On Saturday, May 4, 2024, Bang on a Can’s Long Play Festival continued with a performance of Jeff Mills: Tomorrow Comes the Harvest at Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The entire performance was improvised between Mills, a renowned Detroit techno pioneer, who was accompanied by Rasheeda Ali (on flute) and Kathleen Supové (on piano) and Sundiata on percussion.
I captured the event as a house photographer for Brooklyn Academy of Music and additional images can be found on Bang on a Can’s Facebook page here.
When it's year four and you don't even enjoy the festivals anymore but not going to them means making the townspeople sad so you keep going to them even though you NEVER beat Abigail in the stupid Egg Festival and there is only so much fun one can have beating Pierre every year in the Stardew Valley Fair and festivals are ALWAYS on the days when your luck is best and you're spending them dancing with the same person at the Flower Dance three years running
It is not a 'pick your favourite idol group' splatfest.
You can do that, but that just tells me that you don't care about the outcome for the next game.
This isn't necessarily the Final Fest, but it can still have important repercussions. (It could simply be some Anniversary Fest with an important effect!)
It is exactly what it says on the box. Past vs Present vs Future. That's it. Not a scrap between fans over their preferred idols. The community loves boiling almost every fest down to 'wHiCh iDoL dO YoU PrEfEr?' instead of the actual theme.
Past could give lore-hungry fans more insight into the world of Splatoon. Present could explore other regions of the ingame universe. Future could introduce changes and shiny new playthings with more detail.
We are not fighting over the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook and Deep Cut.
(Also, tumblr is my only source. If people want to add to this with thoughts or extra info, feel free! I'm just stating my opinion on the topic, and if your idol matches with the theme you like; you don't need to listen to this rambling fool!)
I may not have a Grand Festival shirt but I do have these shirts that I printed!
Repping team present!
I'm not selling these. I don't have access to the roller I did when I made this lino cut, the only prints I made were for my friends/me, and also I have no idea where I put the lino cut- .w."
Still trying to process this concert but the highlight was someone shouting eestlane olen ja eestlaseks jään and then every estonian singing it and confusing the shit out of the band
05.05.24 Michael Gordon’s Rushes for an ensemble of seven bassoonists, is an ambient journey into quasi-meditative, at times ecstatic waves of melody and sound. Referencing both the reeds of the instruments and the mental state it produces, Rushes becomes a journey through a primordial marshland featuring tonal and timbral aspects of the bassoon that you may have never heard, or knew existed, until now. At the Bang On A Can Long Play Festival
A sizeable chunk of the fanbase (especially those who read the webtoon) seeing Collei in 3.0: aw thank goodness she’s doing well and even has two dads who are in love :)
Hoyoverse half a year later, writing Cyno and Tighnari into an event that in-game half of Mondstadt considers a lovers’ festival: shit shit shit shit shit we have to no-homo this
