In his very own musical genre, 'tablatronics,' Talvin Singh blends classical Indian tala playing and the British subspecies of European electronica known as Drum 'n Bass. Born in 1970 to Indian parents who had fled Idi Amin's Uganda for London, Singh grew up enamored with the sounds he heard on the streets ofhis neighborhood as well as the ragas he studies in the Punjab region of India. In 1995, he started an East London dance-club, Anokha, where Asian Drum 'n Bass DJ's sometimes did battle with latter-day punk bands. Singh also found time to lend his remixing and percussion talents to Bjork, Madonna, Sun Ra, and other artists. In 1998, he released his first proper solo album, 'OK,' a clear musical statement on the melting away of the borders between East and West." (Vanity Fair, November '04)

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
