SUMMARY:The Godfather at UW Cinematheque
DESCRIPTION:The Corleones pose for a photographer at the wedding of Constanzia “Connie” Corleone (Talia Shire) and Carlo Rizzi (Gianni Russo). Don Vito (Marlon Brando) stands in the middle. \nReviving cinematic magic is one of the many things UW Cinematheque does best. Not only do they bring rare screenings to our increasingly small film market\, but they present unique opportunities to see classics on the big screen—like Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal epic\, The Godfather (1972)\, screening here in a new 4K digital restoration. \nA cherubic Al Pacino stars as Michael Corleone\, the youngest son of the Corleone mafia in New York City in the mid-1940s. Having just returned home from WWII as a decorated vet\, Michael has rebuffed a great deal of his father Don Vito’s (the brilliant Marlon Brando) guidance through the years and never really considered himself the type to take over the family business. His oldest brother Sonny (James Caan) is next in line\, or so he believes\, to take over. But after an attempt on the Don’s life\, Michael is forced to show his gall and mettle\, and has a chance to run things his way for the extended crime family. \nCoppola adapts the essence of the Mario Puzo novel\, with its prevalent themes of loyalty\, love\, sibling rivalry\, and unfiltered violence. Watching Pacino struggle internally between his personal and family values demonstrates what Coppola saw in him after his daring performance in The Panic In Needle Park (1971). \nThe Godfather ended up garnering numerous nominations for its cast and crew\, and won Oscars for Best Actor\, Best Screenplay\, and Best Picture. Consistently in top-10 lists for the greatest films of all-time\, The Godfather is a masterstroke in the categories of writing\, editing\, acting\, and production. The film remains one of the most influential of the “gangster” genre\, spanning over 50 years. Once Upon A Time In America (1984)\, Goodfellas (1990)\, and The Sopranos (1999-2007) all imitated its exploration of how the business of la cosa nostra and big business in America are often two sides of the same coin. \n—Edwanike Harbour

SUMMARY:Line Breaks Festival at Memorial Union and A Room of One's Own
DESCRIPTION:The annual Line Breaks Festival offers an ever-shifting testament to the bold visions of the students in UW-Madison’s First Wave program. Rooted in hip-hop and spoken-word\, First Wave attracts artists who tend to mix together all sorts of disciplines\, from theater to dance to fashion to visual art. As a result\, the alumni who’ve come through the program since it launched in 2007 cover extensive ground: Poet Danez Smith\, Black Arts Matter Festival founder Shasparay Irvin\, writer/musician Hiwot Adilow\, dancer/rapper/filmmaker James Gavins\, blisteringly focused MCs like Defcee and CRASHprez\, and that’s barely scratching the surface. \nThe Line Breaks schedule is a bit different each time out\, but you can always count on showcases of multiple works from current First Wave students\, alums\, and some exciting guests. Visiting this year from Chicago is poet and scholar Eve L. Ewing\, whose published works include the poetry/visual art collection Electric Arches and the nonfiction book Ghosts In The Schoolyard\, which examines the decimation of Chicago’s south-side public schools under the mayoral administration of Rahm Emanuel. Another can’t-miss guest this year is Chicago singer-songwriter\, poet\, and playwright Jamila Woods—if you haven’t heard her expansive take on R&B on 2019’s LEGACY! LEGACY!\, do yourself a kindness and catch up. \nRegistration is already full for a March 30 talk with Ewing and poet/UW-Madison professor Paul Tran at A Room of One’s Own—but you can still register for the waitlist. Either way\, don’t fret: The real heart of Line Breaks is the performance showcases\, taking place this year on March 31 and April 1\, both nights at 6 p.m. in the Union Theater. Across these two nights\, performers will include Diya Abbas\, Azura Tyabji\, Jackson Neal\, Shasparay Irvin\, Nate Marshall\, Woods\, and Ewing\, among others. Trying to succinctly sum up just what you’ll be seeing here is beside the point. Instead\, just set aside any expectations and get ready to embrace a remarkably fertile overlap of words\, movement\, music\, narrative\, and the myriad ways they can be combined. \n—Scott Gordon \nIllustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:Wonder\, Weirdness And Writing About Animals at Goodman Community Center
DESCRIPTION:The first thing I did when I finished Sabrina Imbler’s new book was run to Room of One’s Own and buy a second copy to share with friends. The book\, How Far The Light Reaches\, explores what it means to be a human—specifically\, what it means to be a queer\, Asian-American human—through Imbler’s memories and the lives of 10 sea creatures. \nImbler—who currently works the “creature beat” for Defector\, combining deep scientific context with that publication’s spirit of zany obsession\, and has also published work in The New York Times\, Atlas Obscura\, and The Atlantic—is coming to UW-Madison in late March as the Sharon Dunwoody Science Journalist in Residence. On March 30 at 6:30 p.m.\, they will participate in a panel discussion at the Goodman Community Center titled “Wonder\, Weirdness And Writing About Animals.” Panelists will also include Stacy Forster\, from the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication\, and Mary Magnuson\, a graduate student who studies urban canids like coyotes and foxes. \nImbler’s work brings us into the deep at the time we need it most. So many beautiful possibilities for our collective future depend upon humans’ ability to recognize that every part of our world is alive and worthy of protection and celebration. In their writing\, Imbler brings us face to face with mothering octopus arms reaching out to hold us\, gooey salps that dance in community\, feral goldfish that gobble up space when set free\, and shows us how magnificent we really are. \nIf the panel at the Goodman Center is half as good as How Far The Light Reaches\, everyone in attendance will leave transformed and ready to build expansive\, loving communities in Madison and beyond. \n—Sam Harrington

SUMMARY:Lawste\, Kenneth Tarek Sabbar\, Matt Blair at Common Sage
DESCRIPTION:Common Sage\, a house venue just off of South Park Street in the Greenbush neighborhood\, tends to showcase avant-garde music by way of cozy immersion. During a December winter solstice celebration and an October multi-media tribute to La Monte Young\, Common Sage’s hosts invited attendees to share potluck meals and gather around a fire pit in the backyard. This show is a bit more straightforward in name\, but all three sets offer a chance to see musicians exploring new territory\, or at least things the audience doesn’t often get to see them do. (Oh\, and no potluck this time around\, but there will be a post-show fire pit if weather allows. The show is happening a little later than usual for the venue\, so as not to conflict with digital artist Eric Theise and bassist Ari Smith’s performance at Arts + Literature Laboratory the same night.) \nLawste combines Milwaukee bassist Barry Paul Clark—whose contributions run from his eerie electronic solo project adoptahighway to performing in the big-hearted folk-rock outfit Field Report to adventurous groups like Argopelter and Tontine Ensemble—with New York-based harpist/vocalist Rebecca El-Saleh\, who has performed in a variety of experimental settings in addition to creating song-based material in their solo projects. Lawste is a new product of a years-long collaboration\, so it’s anyone’s guess what it will sound like as Clark and El-Saleh use bass\, lever harp\, and electronics to draw on musical backgrounds that truly run the gamut. \nKenneth Tarek Sabbar goes by his full name for experimental live performance\, Tarek Sabbar for techno and ambient music\, and Luxate for his solo noise project. The Madison-based synthesist/producer/guitarist recently put out a new Tarek Sabbar EP\, No One Will Care As Much As You\, and has a Luxate EP planned for later this spring. Neither release has much to do with the electroacoustic set he plans to perform here through a quadraphonic sound setup. Sabbar says he will be “using manipulated gathered acoustic sounds alongside synthesis sounds.”  \nMadison pianist Matt Blair also pulls together a wide spectrum of interests\, from chamber music to the more dissonant\, electronics-enhanced fringes of jazz\, and will be opening the show with a new work. “I’m going to be performing an audiovisual piece based on found sound\, found footage\, and some composed music that was inspired by a regular walking route I like to take along the Yahara River as it flows into Lake Monona\,” Blair tells Tone Madison. \n—Scott Gordon \nImage: Detail from poster art by Kenneth Tarek Sabbar.

SUMMARY:Little Earthquakes\, Pink Halo at Bur Oak
DESCRIPTION:After three years of writing\, recording\, experimenting\, and polishing its sound\, local emergent ensemble Little Earthquakes finally released its genre-bending debut album\, Promises\, on March 31\, on streaming platforms and vinyl. In celebration of this milestone\, the neo-psychedelic indie dream rock band is headlining a concert at The Bur Oak on Thursday\, April 6. Little Earthquakes has played only a handful of live shows\, but the band is steadily finding a niche in the Madison music community with its vibrant performances\, seamless blend of diverse styles\, inventive approach to music-making\, and expanding fan base. The combined talents of singer Annie Kubena\, drummer Mark Marsh\, guitarist Shanan Galligan\, bassist Brett Farrey\, and keyboardist Mark Siegenthaler make for a gently dynamic artistic force. \nSince releasing an initial single\, “Digital Cowboy\,” last May\, Little Earthquakes has shared two additional selections from Promises—”Eggshells” and “Silent Treatment.” The nine-track record brilliantly showcases the band’s versatility\, eclectic taste\, and exceptional musicianship. Promises opens with the certified banger “Monster Feet\,” injecting an instant shot of energy into the ears before segueing into the plaintive melodies and funky basslines of “Silent Treatment.” From there\, Little Earthquakes takes the listener on a delightful auditory journey that traces an orbit from cosmic disco\, new wave\, and post-punk to electropop\, neo-soul\, and alternative R&B. Kubena’s enchanting vocal style and evocative lyrics are the glue that holds it all together.  \n“I feel like we’re living in an alternate reality\,” Kubena intones on “Cheap Dystopian Dream\,” a digital bonus track. Little Earthquakes was formed just prior to the COVID-19 lockdowns and the band has come a long way. The group’s music provides a palliative for the blues of navigating a strange new world plagued by disease\, war\, social unrest\, and economic instability. Promises offers hard evidence that creativity and expression can thrive despite\, and indeed because of\, adverse circumstances. Anyone looking for spiritual nourishment or a perceptual realignment should support this project and come out for what promises to be a lively\, effervescent occasion. Local self-described “synth-driven indie dream pop” duo Pink Halo rounds out the bill for a perfect complement.  \n—Jason Fuhrman \n \nPhoto by Chris Hynes Photography.

SUMMARY:Throne Of Blood at UW Cinematheque
DESCRIPTION:Samurai warrior Taketoki Washizu (Toshiro Mifune) brutally murders an innocent castle guard (Takeshi Kato) with his sword after assassinating his lord in his sleep. \nAmong the countless cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare’s Macbeth over the years\, Akira Kurosawa’s Throne Of Blood (1957) stands out as the most unorthodox\, transplanting the bard’s classic fable of ruthless political ambition from medieval Scotland to feudal Japan. In conjunction with University Theatre’s upcoming production of Macbeth (April 20 through 30)\, UW Cinematheque is theatrically presenting this atmospheric\, dreamlike\, and visually striking period drama on 35mm. \nThe legendary Toshiro Mifune portrays a seasoned samurai warrior\, Taketoki Washizu\, who finds himself entangled in a self-fulfilling prophecy after securing an important victory on the battlefield. Upon returning to their lord’s castle through Spider’s Web Forest\, Washizu and his friend\, Yoshiaki Miki (Minoru Chiaki)\, encounter a spectral soothsayer who portends their futures. As in the Scottish play\, Kurosawa’s retelling follows a decorated soldier who reluctantly murders his sovereign and ascends to power at the behest of his shrewd\, manipulative spouse (Isuzu Yamada). \nKurosawa was especially attracted to Macbeth\, once calling it his “favorite Shakespeare.” He preserves the essence of the bard’s play\, while elevating it to new aesthetic and cultural heights. Shot on Mount Fuji\, Throne Of Blood conjures a timeless\, otherworldly landscape enshrouded in mist and dense fog as the tragedy of its antihero unfolds. Intricately weaving the literary source material with stylized elements of Noh theater\, exquisite attention to historical detail\, and modern filmmaking techniques\, Kurosawa creates a poetic\, universal meditation on the human condition. With regard to his cinema\, the director has stated\, “When I look at Japanese history—or the history of the world for that matter—what I see is how man repeats himself over and over again.” \n—Jason Fuhrman

SUMMARY:Michelle Zauner at Barrymore
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to forget that a book can be as lyrical as a song when one doesn’t have an audible melody accompanying the reading experience. Michelle Zauner’s 2021 memoir Crying In H Mart\, however\, proves the indelible\, inherent musicality of literature.  \nIn her debut book\, Zauner—known as Japanese Breakfast to legions of indie-pop fans—tells stories of growing up and subsequently growing distant from her Koreanness. When Zauner’s mother\, her central connection to Korea\, is diagnosed with terminal cancer\, she is forced to reckon with and reclaim her identity at age 25. \nCrying In H Mart will feel familiar to fans of Japanese Breakfast\, accustomed as they are to Zauner’s penchant for transforming the gravest feelings of love\, loss\, and regret into verse of complex sensitivity. Whether she is exploring what it means to be Korean in America\, the power of food to connect people\, mother-daughter relationships\, or the trials of adolescence\, attendees at this Wisconsin Book Festival talk (moderated by Emily Mills) are sure to recognize a form of literary talent that facilitates kinship across boundaries and social categories. \n“I remember these things clearly because that was how my mother loved you\, not through white lies and constant verbal affirmation\, but in subtle observations of what brought you joy\, pocketed away to make you feel comforted and cared for without even realizing it\,” she writes of her mother’s ability to remember just how much salt someone wanted in their broth\, or if they hated tomatoes.  \nThis Wisconsin Book Festival-presented talk will likely not be the last time people hear and indulge in the narratives of Crying In H Mart: Will Sharpe\, of recent White Lotus notoriety\, is slated to direct its film adaptation. As a Japanese-English filmmaker himself\, Sharpe told People that he found the memoir “universal in its specificity.”  \n—Alisyn Amant \n \nPhoto by Barbora Mrazkova.

SUMMARY:Terra Femme (with live narration by Courtney Stephens) at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:A blemished celluloid shot of one of many international waterways that Courtney Stephens has collected in “Terra Femme.” \nCourtney Stephens’ new documentary-performance Terra Femme (2021) seeks out the female gaze in films and literature about travel. Following a troubling diagnosis several years ago\, Stephens left an industry job to focus on her own projects\, which led to several years’ worth of archival exploration of early travel films by or featuring women. Stephens outlines these adventures in voiceover (live at this Mills Folly Microcinema event)\, with the archive-digging itself as a kind of travel as she globe-hops to flesh out the lives of the sometimes-anonymous camera operators. \nThe footage runs the gamut of the banal to the beautiful. Landscapes from vastly different parts of the world alternate with more casual verité shots of people coming and going\, walking and talking. Stephens’ reflections are wide-ranging\, as she considers the micro-narratives as well as what they may tell us about women’s filmmaking as a whole. She notes the demystifying experience of looking at all of this material back to back\, seeing so many valuable pieces of personal history from a vantage point that most often reveals their redundancies. \nStephens calls the film a work of “feminist retrieval\,” with the hope that by digging into each story\, “a nobody becomes a somebody.” Traveling with the film herself seems like a necessary way to complete the project—to have some element that can react and change as she moves the piece from city to city. It’s a rare opportunity for a screening\, not just to see a unique version of the film with live voiceover but to maybe—by virtue of being part of the filmmaker’s journey—be part of the project’s development itself. \n—Maxwell Courtright

SUMMARY:2023 Wisconsin Film Festival at multiple venues
DESCRIPTION:The film festival guide’s cover art by Christina King shows a wildly decadent (and filmic easter egg-stuffed) birthday cake to commemorate the festival’s 25th year. \nThis year is a milestone for the Wisconsin Film Festival in a few ways. First\, 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of a festival that reliably comes through with considerable heft. Second\, this will be the festival’s last time holding a large portion of its screenings at Hilldale\, so next year’s event will likely be a very different experience from those of the past decade. Amid all this\, the festival is also taking new risks\, this time in the form of a sold-out “secret screening” on April 14 at the Marquee in Union South. Programmers have kept the details of this firmly under wraps\, even publishing a playfully redacted entry for the screening in this year’s festival guide. \nMost years\, the festival boasts more than 150 titles spanning international cinema\, narrative features\, documentaries\, “Wisconsin’s Own” films\, restored classics\, experimental short films\, and even some kid-friendly selections—all programmed with an eager embrace of both prestige and sleaze. Tone Madison‘s film team has been digging into the highlights over the past month\, so please make sure to catch up! If you appreciate their work\, help us do more of it by donating to Tone Madison. Your contributions literally help us pay these excellent writers. \n\nTreat yourself to the 2023 Wisconsin Film Festival\nWe like movie posters: A 2023 Wisconsin Film Festival gallery\nThe dead ends of language in the open-ended short film\, Noise\nTrying to reconcile the irreconcilable in Beyond Human Nature\nYoung French Cinema illuminates modern familial complexities\nForm follows function in Geographies Of Solitude and The Tuba Thieves and their sensory studies of the natural world\nThe flourishingly bittersweet I Like It Here captures the golden essence of humanity\nSearing themes and fleeting presences in five 2023 Wisconsin Film Festival selections\nNick Prueher of Found Footage Festival stomps baskets and lawsuits in Chop & Steele\nChandler Levack’s I Like Movies reaches through personal history to find reconciliation\n\n—Scott Gordon

SUMMARY:Maggie Cousin Shapes Quintet\, Maestranza at Bur Oak
DESCRIPTION:As a saxophonist\, Maggie Cousin draws on many threads of jazz improvisation and composition. As a producer\, Cousin brings an equally versatile approach to hip-hop. They’ve spent the past few years contributing both sax and beats to live hip-hop outfit D’Funk And The Grease Monkeys\, creating music for sprawling multimedia projects with a multidisciplinary arts residency and Tandem Press\, performing in various ensembles both on and off campus\, and occasionally DJing at the Hot Summer Gays series. And capping off their undergrad music studies at UW-Madison with a recital in 2022. \nWhat Cousin hasn’t gotten to do just yet is to pick off where their “Millennial Jazz” residency at Café Coda left off. Launched in fall 2019\, the recurring gig gave Cousin and other forward-looking musicians a great platform to showcase their own original music\, and to explore compositions from a whole range of forebears—Ornette Coleman\, Joe Henderson\, and Jaimie Branch\, to name a few. A balance of deep perspective and youthful defiance made the residency one of the most rewarding things in Madison’s music landscape (for my money\, at least)\, but the pandemic cut things off all too soon. At this Bur Oak show\, Cousin will be playing some new originals they conceive of as “a collage of shapes\,” with trumpeter Charlie Palm\, pianist Luke Leavitt\, drummer Jordan Kowalski\, and bassist Aden Stier. \n“This project is kind of a return [to] focusing on playing original instrumental music after just kinda doing Grease Monkeys and playing other people’s gigs for a while\,” Cousin says. “It’s gonna be groove-based stuff with hip-hop and dance music influence. The shapes concept is something I’ve been thinking about as a way of encouraging listeners to engage with the music based on what they hear and not about how complex or technical it is. I want the main idea to be something that anybody can feel like they can grasp and think about.”  That accessible spirit\, paired with an adventurous vocabulary\, runs through all the memorable work Cousin has done so far. \n—Scott Gordon \nGhosts by Maggie Cousin  Photo by Dimitrius Olver.

SUMMARY:Madison Print & Resist Zinefest 2023 at Central Library
DESCRIPTION:Resisting with printmaking\, Madison Print & Resist Zinefest is back for its 20th year. Regional artists\, writers\, and printmakers will gather to celebrate the importance of creative and political expression in an array of print media. The event is hosted these days by Communication\, the Madison Public Library’s Bubbler program\, the creative agency UnderBelly\, and ArtWorking\, a local non-profit that works with artists with disabilities. It’s the latest iteration of a pointedly radical print expo that’s evolved through various names\, venues\, and organizing teams over the years. \nAmong the more than 60 exhibiting presses and artists this year are body books\, which creates gender-inclusive and trauma-informed zines in Madison; Late Night Copies\, a Minneapolis-based micro-press that centers queer voices; and Rooster Cow Media\, a micro-label and small press based in Chicago. \nThe individual artists present include Rachel DL\, who writes about disability and chronic illness;\, Dullahan Daydream\, who draws funky little creatures; and Ty Springer\, who creates queer comics. \nThere will be a Zinefest Afterparty at the Bur Oak on April 22  at 7 p.m. with music from Nate Meng & The Stolen Sea and alt-queercore musician Doug Rowe of Woke Up Crying. Admission to the show is on a $5 to $15 sliding scale. \nMadison Print & Resist is also still asking community members to look out for each other’s safety: “Even if not mandated at the time\, there will be strong encouragement for social distancing and masking\,” the event’s website notes. \n—Hannah Keziah Agustin \nPrint & Resist poster art by Jaundy Brunswick.

SUMMARY:Police Story III: Supercop at UW Cinematheque
DESCRIPTION:Inspectors Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh) and Chan Ka Kui (Jackie Chan) stand side by side with fists and a gun at the ready. \nAlthough both are wonderful in their own rights\, there’s really no need to watch Police Story (1985) or Police Story II (1988) in order to enjoy the standalone speedway of antics and action in Stanley Tong’s Police Story III: Supercop (1992). \nAs the second to last screening in the 2x series at UW Cinematheque this spring\, Police Story III will have you double-pumping your fists in excitement at Michelle Yeoh\, who plays Inspector Jessica Yang\, and Jackie Chan\, who plays Inspector Chan Ka Kui\, narrowly escaping a room full of ready-to-explode ammunition. A familiar cast also returns to support Chan—the titular “supercop”—including his sometimes-supportive supervisor\, “Uncle” Bill (Bill Tung)\, and his sweet and somewhat impulsive wife\, May (Maggie Cheung). \nThe film’s plot is wrapped up with Inspectors Yang and Ka Kui’s undercover infiltration of a drug ring\, which takes them around mainland China and eventually into Malaysia. Through their earnest displays of fighting prowess\, grit\, and some clever disguises\, Yang and Ka Kui work their way up and eventually earn the respect of the ruthless and Tetris-obsessed crime boss\, Chaibat (Kenneth Tsang). More trouble ensues\, and the charismatic duo fights their way through with acrobatic flips\, high kicks\, and sometimes-borrowed guns. The story is fast-paced and frantic\, but the precise details of it melt away when the action and explosions start up; all that matters are Yeoh and Chan’s increasingly death-defying stunts. \nPolice Story III feels like a feature-length version of catching motorcyclists pop wheelies while riding down East Wash on a warm summer evening. Whether you’re like me\, and relatively new to the joys of the action genre\, or you are a seasoned Jackie Chan fan\, this film (screening here in its original international version) is a surefire good time. \n—Hanna Kohn

SUMMARY:SPRING (led by Henry Ptacek) at Café Coda
DESCRIPTION:A cropped handbill displays the event information in the lower left corner. Individual photos of SPRING’s members form an image collage. Clockwise from top left: Chris Rottmayer\, Charlie Palm\, Pawan Benjamin\, Ari Smith\, and Henry Ptacek (at the center). \nAfter some reconfiguration\, drummer Henry Ptacek has brought together a sterling cast of local talent for another iteration of his SPRING ensemble. Featuring Ptacek in a quintet with Pawan Benjamin (saxophone)\, Charlie Palm (trumpet)\, Chris Rottmayer (piano)\, and Ari Smith (bass)\, this senior recital will exhibit the range and depth of his influences\, mixing free improvisation with an array of familiar tunes by celebrated jazz giants. \nAcross two succinct sets\, expect to hear interpretations of snappy\, old- and new-school post-bop (Thelonious Monk’s “Monk’s Dream” and Kenny Garrett’s “Ja-Hed”) play off more ’70s fusion-leaning deep cuts by Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis\, as well as expansively hypnotic Hindustani-tinged spiritual jazz\, including one of Alice Coltrane’s most famous pieces from Journey In Satchidananda (1971). \nAside from those\, Ptacek points out the group’s open rendition of a folk blues tune\, “I’m So Blue\,” which is a bit of a sonic curve ball in the grander program. And yet\, it will likely function as a comforting point of departure—a refreshing act break to stir listeners’ imaginations much like the members’ improvising\, before propelling us back into their focused and inspired jazz covers. \nWhen Ptacek isn’t dabbling in this idiom\, he considerably kicks up the tempo in a new Pixies- and Replacements-like post-punk quintet\, Mission Trip (with Zachary Vincent Dunn\, Sam Eklund\, Reegan Franzmeier\, and Jasper Nelson)\, who just dropped a new EP earlier this month. \n—Grant Phipps \n \nWORT 89.9FM Madison · SPRING Live on WORT-FM

SUMMARY:Andrew Fitzpatrick\, Patrick Best at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Best’s contributions to both drone and folk music in Wisconsin trace back to Richmond\, Virginia and the formation of Pelt in the 1990s. Performing and recording solo\, as well as with Troy Schafer and Pelt member Mikel Dimmick in Spiral Joy Band\, Best switches among guitar\, viola\, harmonium\, vocals\, and piano. Best’s music often yields a deep listening\, trance-like experience. He tells Tone Madison that his goal for this solo performance at Arts +Lit Lab is to “deepen the trance.” He’ll be building a drone on harmonium and working with a drum loop\, trying something new with elements that have formed the foundation of his musical endeavors for the past 30 years.  \nMadison-based improviser\, guitarist\, and synth manipulator Andrew Fitzpatrick (sometimes operating under the alias Noxroy) plays in a number of projects including Cap Alan\, Volcano Choir\, All Tiny Creatures\, and Bon Iver. While he often collaborates with any number of local experimental artists\, Fitzpatrick performs here solo\, offering an improvised set with guitar and electronics while in between Bon Iver tours. Historically\, solo Fitzpatrick sets offer a hazy\, gauzy warmth interspersed with bright\, gleaming tones that should fill the room at ALL beautifully.  \n—Emili Earhart \nIn the River by Spiral Joy Band\nIllustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:John & Dan\, Tekla Peterson at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Dan Kaufman and percussionist/multi-instrumentalist John Bollinger have covered some truly sprawling territory with each other over the years in the NYC-based outfit Barbez. Since the early 2000s\, that band has twisted its way through eerie experimental rock full of aching melody\, drawing on elements of Eastern European folk music and jagged free jazz with equal fluency. This is not merely a novel combination of surface touches\, either. Technical daring and a deep sense of history run through Barbez’s discography\, which includes multiple projects celebrating the anti-fascist resistance movements of the mid-20th century. (Kaufman is a Madison native\, and indeed we’re talking about the same Dan Kaufman who has chronicled the modern history of Wisconsin politics in his journalism for The New Yorker and The New York Times\, and in his 2018 book The Fall Of Wisconsin.)  \nBollinger and Kaufman also play together as a duo\, simply named John & Dan\, with the kind of expansive looseness that can only come from years of collaboration and focus. On “Rainy Day In Bern\,” Bollinger’s vibraphone cascades gently over Kaufman’s wiry guitar trills and loops\, occasionally giving way to outbursts of dense chords and restive drumkit. The two dig deeper into jagged instrumental rock on the frenetic “Fear Of Midtown” and the downright furious “D&D\,” which begins with a calming vocal interlude before Bollinger lunges in with a bass part of nearly Jesus Lizard proportions—the kind where the impact of pick and string kind of hurts—over the bristling turbulence of his own drums. \nJohn & Dan recorded these and several other tracks in sessions for the project’s forthcoming debut album. They began working on the recordings several years ago with producer Martin Bisi (who has worked with artists including John Zorn\, Brian Eno\, and Sonic Youth)\, and finally finished the tracking in April 2023. They’ll be drawing on that material at this show\, perhaps also incorporating some of Bollinger’s playfully odd videos into the set.  \nOpening up here is Tekla Peterson\, the romantic and tormented synth-pop alter ego of Madison-based musician Taralie Peterson. A veteran of formidable avant-garde projects like Spires That In The Sunset Rise and Louise Bock\, she debuted the Tekla Peterson moniker with the 2022 release of Heart Press. Its six songs blend sugary hooks with the anguished yearning of Peterson’s vocals. \n—Scott Gordon \n \nJohn and Dan · Rainy Day In Bern\n  \nPhoto by Gabrielle Plucknette.

SUMMARY:Feestet (ft. Frank McKearn IV) at North Street Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Feestet—who have finalized their name after previously appearing as Feest\, Helen Feest Quartet\, and Helen Feest Quintet—have covered a lot of ground as an eccentric jazz act that’s not afraid to take risks. Made up of vocalist Helen Feest\, pianist Luke Leavitt\, bassist Ari Smith\, guitarist Anthony Utehs\, and drummer Matty Benjamin Allen\, Feestet’s musical imprint should be familiar to anyone versed in Madison’s jazz scene. For their forthcoming show at North Street Cabaret\, Feestet will be joined by Frank McKearn IV on EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument). An ancestor of the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument)\, the EVI has a fascinating\, tumultuous history that ultimately ends with its production being abandoned in 1996. As a result\, the instrument—created by studio musician Nyle Steiner in the early 70s—is now considered a relative rarity. \n\nMcKearn—a Beloit native—is presently a Chicago-based audio engineer who has a long history with Madison-based jazz musicians (McKearn cites Darren Sterud as a significant mentor). While McKearn is most often regarded as a trumpet player\, his work of late with the EVI has allowed his reputation within the jazz circuit to take on an additional dimension. On May 11\, Feestet and McKearn are set to perform “a special blend of arranged jazz classics\, collaborations\, and original music\,” per the show description on their website. For attendees\, it’ll be a chance to familiarize themselves with a bit of musical history.  \n—Steven Spoerl \n

SUMMARY:Fool's Paradise at Marcus Point Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Wearing a blazer and fedora\, Latte Pronto (Charlie Day) sits in an office and stares forward with a confused look on his face. \n“Fool’s Paradise” is also screening at Marcus Palace Cinema and AMC Fitchburg. \nFool’s Paradise\, the newly released comedy written\, starring\, and directed by It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Charlie Day\, plays against Day’s strengths so much that you have to wonder if it’s some kind of meta-prank on the public. Maybe Day is just seeing if he can garner praise from Sunny loyalists for a movie that isn’t funny at all\, despite much of the dialogue having at least the rhythm of jokes. It’s currently getting a fairly sizable theatrical push nationwide; and\, while it’s hard to endorse rushing out to the theater to see it\, you may get the chance to commiserate with other Sunny superfans\, and hopefully give Day the chance to get another swing that will connect next time\, or simply see a beautiful face\, huge. \nThe premise is a mix of The Prince And The Pauper and Being There (1979) (which Day freely admits to stealing from): a mute\, institutionalized man (Day) is dumped on the streets of Los Angeles\, and immediately is recognized as identical in appearance to huge movie star Sir Thomas Billingsly (also Day). He’s immediately whisked onto a movie set by an impatient producer (the late Ray Liotta)\, and begins his ascent to stardom despite not uttering a word\, unable to discern acting from reality or stop himself from looking directly into camera at all times. He’s accidentally dubbed Latte Pronto\, and a sweaty and desperate publicist Lenny (Ken Jeong) immediately latches onto him. \nEvery character Latte encounters is too self-involved to notice that the guy is completely blank;  they just project whatever else they think is needed onto him. Here\, Day is robbed of his signature\, manic line deliveries\, and prevents himself from making any facial expressions beyond bewilderment or a weak smile\, which leave the whole affair completely flat. (For a better use of silent-film era acting in a more modern context\, I’d recommend 1989’s Sidewalk Stories.) The initial setup gives a vague promise that Latte’s mute condition will be explained\, but that scene must have been left on the cutting room floor (to use a somewhat hackneyed phrase in keeping with a hackneyed movie). \nThe film was apparently filmed pre-pandemic\, and has been languishing in post-production since then. The extended editing time results in many scenes that have the bizarre feeling of comic staging\, but with the punchlines excised. The cast is stacked with celebrities that Day surely had to cash in some favors to get: Kate Beckinsdale\, Adrien Brody\, Jason Sudekis\, Edie Falco\, Jason Bateman\, Common\, and John Malkovich all make appearances. And of course Sunny regulars like Day’s wife Mary Elizabeth Ellis\, Jimmi Simpson\, Artemis Pebdani\, Lance Barber\, David Hornsby and Glenn Howerton round out the who’s who. \nDay has certainly had the most successful film career of the four main Sunny cast members (and recently voiced Luigi in the Super Mario Bros. Movie)\, but Fool’s Paradise feels closer in tone to Howerton’s appearance in the abysmal Coffee Town (2013) than something that plays to his strengths. After 18 years on TV\, presumably Day knows what he does well\, so it remains a mystery as to why he would write a vehicle for himself that does none of that. Without the mean streak that presumably rests more with Glenn Howerton and Rob McElhenney than Day (on Sunny)\, you get something so toothless you can feel some very sentimental gums nibbling your ear. \n—Lewis Peterson

SUMMARY:Storytelling As Advocacy In The Beloved Community at A Room of One's Own
DESCRIPTION:Madison-based author Tegan Nia Swanson’s 2022 debut novel\, Things We Found When The Water Went Down\, starts with the basic elements of a murder mystery: a body\, the cops\, a suspect. From there\, Swanson spirals into the tangled lore of a family and a place. The decaying mine town of Beau Caelais and the Inland Sea it sits on are familiar stand-ins for any number of post-industrial places along the Great Lakes. The map Swanson provides in the book will also remind Madisonians of a less-great but still beloved lake.  \nSwanson fills this setting with an uncanny blend of small-town grudges and righteously wrathful magic. As teenage protagonist Lena Abernathy tries to understand why her mother was arrested for the murder (then escaped from jail and disappeared)\, she uncovers her share of petty human secrets\, but connects with forces far more vast and terrible and beautiful. Swanson’s non-linear storytelling approach lets the reader get richly immersed in the book’s overlapping themes: deep-seated cultures of misogynist violence\, environmental degradation\, and the resilient chosen families queer people build in a hostile world. \nThat’s all just a hint of the depths\, and the depths beyond the depths\, that the novel explores. Things We Found When The Water Went Down reads like a scrapbook of its own mythology. Between passages that Lena narrates in first-person\, other characters leave behind interview transcripts\, newspaper clippings\, cryptic notes\, stately poetic declarations. It’s an approach that may gradually draw in readers who enjoy fantasy novels\, or immersive piece-together-the-story video games like Gone Home and What Remains Of Edith Finch.  \nAt this event\, a fundraiser for Freedom Inc. and UNIDOS (a Madison non-profit serving Latino survivors of domestic violence)\, Swanson will take part in a panel discussion with Freedom Inc.’s Jessica Williams\, UNIDOS’ Virginia Gittens Escudero\, and City of Madison Poet Laureate Angela Trudell Vasquez. Swanson and Vasquez also both work at End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin. The panel\, titled “Storytelling As Advocacy In The Beloved Community\,” will likely draw connections between the novel’s exploration of violence against women and all the panelists’ day-to-day work.  \nOn May 18\, a Room of One’s Own will also be donating 10 percent of all its in-store and online sales to Freedom Inc. and UNIDOS. \n—Scott Gordon \n \nWORT 89.9FM Madison · Madison Book Beat: Tegan Nia Swanson on “Things We Found When The Water Went Down”

SUMMARY:WisCon 46 at Madison Concourse Hotel and Central Library
DESCRIPTION:WisCon launched in 1977\, with the goal of tackling “feminist and pointedly left-leaning topics” in science fiction\, that other sci-fi gatherings barely acknowledge. Over the years\, it has welcomed to Madison several of the all-time great sci-fi and fantasy writers: Octavia E. Butler\, Samuel R. Delany\, Nnedi Okorafor\, Kim Stanley Robinson… and the list really does go on. Just as importantly\, WisCon has become a community in and of itself. Attendees from all over gather in Madison annually over Memorial Day Weekend for readings\, panels\, workshops\, and the bestowing of the annual Otherwise Award. It was abundantly clear just how many people in how many places care deeply about WisCon when\, in 2021\, organizers held an emergency fundraising campaign. The fundraiser succeeded\, with vocal support from across the diverse ranks of SFF writers working today. \nSince then\, convention organizers have worked to make the convention more inclusive. They’ve also announced that the con will take a break in 2024 to let its all-volunteer leadership recharge for the future. But for 2023\, the schedule is packed with sessions in the Madison Concourse Hotel’s conference rooms. This year’s WisCon will also keep up the tradition of an opening-night reading\, featuring two guests of honor\, that is free and open even to those who aren’t registered for the con proper. That’s Thursday\, May 25 at 6 p.m. at the Central Library.  \nThis year’s guests are Rivers Solomon and Martha Wells\, and I’m particularly excited to finally get to hear Solomon read. Their 2017 debut novel\, An Unkindness Of Ghosts\, takes place on a generation ship where theocratic tyrants rule over a stratified society of rich whites and a brutally exploited Black underclass. It’s very explicitly the antebellum South in space—humanity recommitting to hierarchy\, cruelty\, and control even as it seeks a second chance among the stars. Its protagonist\, Aster\, is a queer\, neurodivergent outsider among the oppressed\, rebelling against the ship’s viciously regimented social order. It’s devastatingly powerful. So are the two novels that followed An Unkindness Of Ghosts\, 2019’s The Deep (great as a standalone book\, also great as part of a multi-media collaboration with hip-hop group clipping.) and 2021’s Sorrowland. Wells’ body of work spans dozens of sci-fi and fantasy novels\, including the Murderbot Diaries series\, whose 10th installment\, System Collapse\, is due out in November. \n—Scott Gordon \n \nPhoto of Rivers Solomon by Wasi Daniju.

SUMMARY:Tatsuya Nakatani Gong Orchestra at Garver Feed Mill
DESCRIPTION:We at Tone Madison are excited to partner with Arts + Literature Laboratory\, Communication Madison\, and Garver Events to present renowned percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani and his extraordinary Gong Orchestra project. Nakatani has spent about 30 years tirelessly collaborating\, touring\, and developing his solo work in the worlds of avant-garde and improvised music. He’s developed a wholly distinctive vocabulary of techniques\, textures\, and harmonics. To see one of Naktani’s solo performances is to see an artist marshal that vocabulary into masterful\, thrilling improvisations\, using drumkit\, gongs\, singing bowls\, bows\, and even breath. It’s different every time\, but Nakatani always gives his audience a new appreciation for both the physical heft of percussion and its capacity for delicate\, ethereal sound. \nNakatani has played solo in Madison many times over the years\, but a stop on one of his Gong Orchestra tours is truly a special occasion. At each show\, he works with a group of local players to coax subtle and powerful layers of sound from an array of gongs\, using bows of Nakatani’s own making. The 2012 Taiga Records release Nakatani Gong Orchestra is an immersive document of the sonic possibilities of this project. That said\, the NGO is best experienced in in-person\, and here all those rumbles and ethereal harmonics will be reverberating throughout the massive space of the Garver Feed Mill Atrium. Tickets are $20 for the general public\, $15 for Tone Madison Sustainers and Arts + Lit Lab members. —Scott Gordon \nNAKATANI GONG ORCHESTRA by Tatsuya Nakatani

SUMMARY:Tone Madison 10-year anniversary party
DESCRIPTION:Tone Madison is thrilled to announce we’ll be celebrating our 10-year anniversary with a show at Gamma Ray Bar on Friday\, December 6. \nWe’re just as thrilled to announce our lineup of great Madison-based artists for the evening: carisa\, Avoidancepolicy\, Holly And The Nice Lions\, and FRED REALLY. Unfortunately\, Cult Of Lip\, initially scheduled to close out the night\, have to drop off the show due to an unexpected illness. We hope the band returns to good health soon. \nBefore and between bands\, DJ Mu and Evan Woodward will be spinning in the front room. DJing will start at 6:30. \nProceeds from the show will go towards sustaining and supporting Tone Madison. Because this is happening right in the middle of our crucial year-end fundraising drive\, the impact of your support will be multiplied\, thanks to the NewsMatch initiative. \nThree of the six acts performing feature members who have contributed pieces to Tone Madison. The remaining three have released a record that’s been selected as one of our year-end favorites over the past few years. Every act performing is part of Tone Madison‘s history. You can be a part of that history\, too\, by coming out and supporting the show! \nYou can RSVP here and purchase advance tickets here.

SUMMARY:"The Hivemind Swarmed" book talk at A Room of One's Own
DESCRIPTION:Tone Madison is excited to welcome oral historian and journalist David Wolinsky to Madison on Thursday\, March 6\, for a discussion about his 2024 book The Hivemind Swarmed: Conversations On Gamergate\, The Aftermath\, And The Quest For A Safer Internet. The event\, at A Room of One’s Own Bookstore\, 2717 Atwood Ave.\, starts at 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nAt the event\, Tone Madison publisher Scott Gordon (that’s me!) will interview Wolinsky about this long-in-the-works oral history book\, and the work leading up to it. The Hivemind Swarmed draws on hundreds of interviews to bring together a multitude of perspectives about Gamergate\, an online harassment campaign\, which started in 2014\, and targeted women and minorities in the video gaming world. But it goes far beyond that episode\, exploring the depth of its impact and  implications for the wider world of culture and politics in the ensuing decade. (As the collapse of social media plays out in 2025\, part of the mourning should involve passing the mic to gamers\, who sounded the alarm over a decade ago.) Renowned documentary filmmaker Ken Burns blurbed the book\, writing: “Out of the transient and ephemeral effluvia of the internet comes something ivied\, revelatory\, permanent. Bravo.” \n\n\n\nI’ve known Wolinsky since 2008\, when we both worked at The A.V. Club\, and he’s also contributed to Tone Madison\, including a 2017 report about the local game-development world. Wolinsky\, who is based in the Chicago area\, has focused for more than a decade on independently holding up a much-needed mirror to the video game industry as a whole. His Don’t Die oral history series has gathered long-form interviews he conducted to surface conversations across a kaleidoscope of fields\, contrasting a wide array of game developers and player perspectives with those of journalists and other cultural figures. In 2016\, he self-published a series of in-depth reports on labor practices in the games world. (Full disclosure: I edited that series.) This was ahead of the curve: at the time\, not a lot of publications were interested in this kind of reporting. Today\, unions are a much more prominent force in video games. And it’s become more common to find great journalism about labor in games\, both in legacy media outlets and small upstart publications like the mighty Aftermath. One of the pivotal developments happened right in our backyard\, when workers at Middleton-based Raven Software successfully organized a union in 2022. \n\n\n\nSo\, we’ll have plenty to talk about. Even if you don’t pay much attention to video games\, chances are you’ll find the conversation about online subcultures and their sometimes frightful\, outsized power interesting. (Especially if you’ve been concerned about questions like\, “What is the internet doing to us?”) We hope you can join us. For now\, if you’re curious to learn more\, you can also listen to Sara Gabler’s October 2024 interview with Wolinsky for WORT-FM’s A Public Affair. —Scott Gordon \n\n \nWORT 89.9FM Madison · Searching for Accountability in the Gaming Industry
