Komponierte Befreiung
Mitchell, seines Zeichens Mitbegründer des Art Ensemble of Chicago und der Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), wusste, wovon er sprach: Und die Künstlerin/Filmemacherin Cauleen Smith ließ 2011 eine High School Marching Band Sun Ra's berühmtes „Space is the Place\" in den regennassen Straßen von Chicago performen - ein Marsch, den sie auf Video festgehalten hat und der gleichfalls Ra's Diktum von der disziplingeleiteten Befreiung unterstreicht. Graves war ab Mitte der 1960er-Jahre, unter anderem mit dem New York Art Quartet, in Erscheinung getreten und blieb bis an sein Lebensende in unterschiedlichsten Ensembleformationen - weit über die Musik hinaus - aktiv. Museen pendelte. 1971 lebten - und musizierten - die Cherrys mehrere Wochen in einer speziell für sie errichteten geodätischen Kuppel im Rahmen der Ausstellung Utopia and Visionsim Stockholmer Moderna Museet - eine Art live, vor Ort gelebter Kristallisationspunkt der von ihnen projektierten „Organic Music Society\".

TAYLOR SWIFT, TORTURED POETS, AND THE TAX CODE’S FRANKENSTEIN
Taylor Swift’s songs inspire generations of fans to sing and dance about love and to “shake . . . off” heartbreak. Swift’s hard-earned “reputation” for being a savvy music mogul inspires other creative spirits to be “fearless” in their artistic endeavors. But unless these artists are songwriters and musicians, they should keep their “eyes open” when selling their works, as they may see “red” when they discover their tax rates.
The simple fact is that a taxpayer’s financial ability to live out their “wildest dreams” may turn on their chosen artistic medium. Notably, the Internal Revenue Code taxes the sale of poems differently than the sale of songs. As a result, in most cases, poets will be subject to ordinary income tax rates, while songwriters may be eligible for preferential capital gains treatment.
This Piece explores how U.S. tax laws breed “bad blood” between poets and songwriters who sell their creative work products. It then argues that sound public policy requires Congress to take responsibility for the “tax Frankenstein” it has created by articulating consistent policies for taxpayers who sell or dispose of their artistic works.

Nurturing a joyful noise: examining Sun Ra's philosophies as a model for music education
Throughout his musical career (1950s-1990s), the late Sun Ra and his Arkestra developed a philosophy and worldview that included elements from Egyptology, Afrofuturism and outer space. The group used cosmic imagery to transcend racism and to provide a safe, familial community for African American musicians. This paper proposes that the vision of the Sun Ra Arkestra, while not always directly transferable, can be extrapolated to fit a modern music educational environment. It also investigates some of the limitations of this relationship.

Chocolate Spectral Resonances
In this discussion I utilize pianist, composer, band leader, and sound scientist Sun Ra, and his ensemble the Arkestra to address sonic ethics in two ways: first to re-examine the treatment of Alton Sterling, a Black man lynched by the Baton Rouge, LA, in 2016 and, second, to consider broader possibilities of how Afro-surrealist ethics, situated as sonic pedagogies, provide possibilities, simultaneously in formal and informal educational spaces/places, to disrupt ideological constructs situating Black life as equated to death.
