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.

We've decided to extend HOPE and MAGIC on our Substack. There were about 100 submissions for MEANS #3 and they are too good to just disappear, so we're releasing them as a series on our Substack. Get your copy on Bandcamp before they're gone.
