Jerome Sessini says of his photographs: “I feel a certain attraction for some cityscapes which have been transformed by war. Eagerness and stress which are specific to cities disappear, giving place to silence and lethargy. The heartbeat of the city slows down.”
Beautiful, haunting, tragic, breathtaking images…must see.

Once again it seems like I’m the last one on the interweb to find, well, the coolest stuff on the interweb. Shown to me by my students, this is killer from the folks at Monkeehub.com (and of course the folks at Radiohead).

Excerpt of a conversation between jazz pianist Jason Moran and one of his students recently published in The New Yorker
“Change the whole idea of the song,” Moran said. “Change the time signature, too. Make it entirely different. Could you play it stride piano?”—-meaning in the ragtime-like fashion of James P. Johnson, where the left hand plays single notes and chords on the beat.
[the student] seemed startled. “That would be weird,” he said.
“It would, but that’s where you start to find stuff,” Moran said. “You put different factors into the equation. Play it backward. Upside down. Your left hand might use something 1940 and your right hand is 2000, and what you find becomes part of your vocabulary.”
