Show Notes
A virtuoso is headed to Florence for a week-long residency.
Pianist and Percussionist Omar Sosa has an amazing story and career that starts in Cuba, but has grown to be global, both in his sound and journey. Over the course of this week Bombyx will show a documentary about his life, host soundbaths inspired by his work, and have a continuation of the project he made with local musician and enthomusicologist Tim Eriksen in concert to cap it all off. We catch up with the musician and Soren Sorenson, the filmmaker behind "Omar Sosa's 88 Well-Tuned Drums," to hear about the important connections made through music.
We’ll also check out homegrown frightful delights in Chicopee, where the newly minted Singing Bridge Pictures is preparing to screen its first film: a homegrown horror short. We chat with Wade Wofford, director of both the short and Chicopee TV, about building a neighborhood film club, keeping TV local through neighborhood media efforts, and the scare onscreen that might make you jump when they show the film on Oct 17th.
And our weekly chat with Rep Jim McGovern ventures into the eye of Milton’s destruction, the ongoing plight of Gaza, and the books they don’t want you to read.
