This was an inspirational conversation for me which sparked a few days of writing and thinking following our talk. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">During this ahttakes episode you'll hear Nick read two of his written pieces, leading to a rich discussion on the topic of identity. Nick also shares some details on his sound collage project album titled MAKE JAZ. Lots of layering of music, and samples featuring some voices you may in fact recognize. (I included a few snippets in this one for ya!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And closing out the conversation is a celebration of the downtown New Bedford writing and theater community, please stick around for the mention of a some events coming up in the next few weeks. Listen below...(some strong language, just a heads-up.). Thank you Nick! </span><br />

It seems to have had a lasting impression, especially on my guests, Kate Venturini, and Kevin Fernandes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This here post is a follow-up to the 22, A Million discussion I put together last October. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So we are close to the 1 year mark of the release, how does the album sit with you? Still in rotation? Favorite tracks? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Take a listen below to hear what Kate, Kevin, and myself have to say about this strange yet beautiful album, one year later. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy this, thanks! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>22, A Million</i> - with it's experimental mindfulness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just to say a few words for each. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, we are close to the one month mark of the Bon Iver release of 22, A Million. I feel it's settling in nicely. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The desire to put this podcast episode (audio player below) together was born on September 9th. That was when I sent an email to Kevin inviting him to be on the podcast. He accepted. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first chat recording was with Richard on October 8th. Between that I worked on some Bon Iver inspired collages which you can see in this post. These collages were made using paper shapes that were composed on my scanner/printer, no glue, just in the moment and they now only exist in the digital form. They were carefully orchestrated in the placement of the visual elements, textures, and color. Not unlike the audio arrangements found in this new effort by Bon Iver.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The ingredients in this podcast:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Responses to the music. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Insights into what is going on here. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the backstory. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where is this album 22, A Million taking us?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And more. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel
that 22, A Million is many things, and it changes on me every time I
listen to it. Bon Iver's music has been very important to me over the
years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm grateful for the listens, so thank you. And I can't thank Sabine, Kevin, and Richard enough. Mainly because they gave me the chance to talk Bon Iver with them, something I have wanted to do in this format for quite some time. Cheers, Phillip J. Mellen. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />I have invited three guests to be a part of this and am excited to share their thoughts and reactions on this musical adventure that Bon Iver has logged and shared with their fans, myself included.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please stay tuned for this. Thanks.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Remember old-school metal music?</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Know new metal? </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Richard F Fonseca (based in Massachusetts), of the blog Heavy Metal Textbooks, is the guest on this episode. Rick talks metal, and other heavy music, with me as I sat back (mostly) and got and education on some of the earliest metal bands as well as some current bands that are vigorously keeping the genre alive. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was given some listening homework assigned by Rick, prior to our chat, and my personal exploration into harder music left me to realize that there is more than meets the ear. This journey (not the band) led Rick and I to stroll down memory lane a bit, as he and I were art students together many moons ago and had discovered a ton of music in parallel. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is one of the graphics Rick created for the HMT blog:</span></div>

Lorraine, Claude Monet, Paul Klee and Willem de Kooning. Listen in as he

photographic series by Leslie Hewitt. We talk scale, formal qualities,
physicality of photo as object, Hewitt's influence on Anello, and he also
helps the painter in me get a little closer to understanding the
concerns that photographers deem important. Listen in for more!</span><br />

Noticed by Rafael Rubinstein in 2009? After
further investigation, dubbed “the New Casualists” by Sharon Butler?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This
“Provisional Painting,” and the way it has been executed, has been the
subject of several articles recently circling the internet. This
sensibility is said to produce works that are “dashed-off” and has been
pointed to as “unfinished” and also that these works are an “utter
failure.” So, what is it anyway? Why the buzz if it’s results are so
“self-canceling?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is an audio account on how all of this
struck, painter, Stephen Wright. Listen to his take from a recent
conversation I had with him. He has a different response to what he has
seen of these developments. (some strong language).</span><br />
