That Mandarin fixation sets itself far apart from any of his other endeavours—playing and producing for indie super troupe Death Cab For Cutie, or personals hopping behind the studio mixing boards for countless other all star songwriters like The Decemberists and Tegan and Sara. To tap into that Chinese muse, he needed nothing more than his father’s briefcase and business plans. “My dad spent a good chunk of my childhood in China and he always loved it,” the songwriter and producer says of his father’s Far East business trips while working for the Boeing Airline Company in the mid to late 1980s.

  • Julia Wilbur Diary, 1863
    Diary of Julia Wilbur, 1863 Originals at Haverford College, Quaker and Special Collections Transcriptions by volunteers at Alexandria Archaeology The transcribed pages that follow are from the diaries kept by Julia Wilbur, an abolitionist from Rochester, New York, who lived in Alexandria, Virginia, from October 1862 to February 1865. She moved to Washington, DC, where she lived until her death in 1895. This file contains entries from 1863. The diaries are in the form of packets of paper that she assembled and dated as she went along, approximately 4 by 7 inches. The diaries go from 1844 to 1873. (She also kept journals, which were smaller, pre-printed, leather-bound booklets, one per year through 1895.) In a cooperative effort between Haverford and Alexandria Archaeology, pages of the diaries were scanned in Summer 2013 (March 7, 1860, through May 30, 1873). Alexandria Archeology volunteers transcribed from March 7, 1860, through July 3, 1866. Acknowledgments Thanks go to Ann Upton and Diana Peterson at Haverford, to Alexandria Archaeology staff, especially Ruth Reeder and Fran Bromberg, and to Friends of Alexandria Archaeology, the nonprofit that helped fund the scanning project. In addition, the following people volunteered their time to transcribe and/or proofread the diary entries: Lori Arbuckle, Gale Carter (and her students at East Chicago High School), Melissa Carter, Laci Chelette, Tom D’Amore, Christopher Goodwin, Jill Grinsted, Tom Gross, Janet Hughes, Maureen Lauran, Donna Martin, Wendy Miervaldis, Patty Morison, Mary Jane Nugent, Kim Ormiston, Trudy Pearson, Janet Penn, Mary Ray, Diane Riker, Kelly Rooney, Elizabeth Schneider, Cindy Slaton, Rachel Smith, Jeanne Springman, Paula Whitacre, Karen White, and Christina Wingate.

  • Leaving Adak
    DEAN TRIPP Leaving Adak “The glacier was God’s great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth.” —Louis Agassiz January 1996 My mother leered at us, my sister and me, over her Bible. She looked like a Welsh shepherd. Her face was reddened by the unseasonably dry January air; her brown eyes were scrupulous. She had Irish copper hair and pale, soft facial features. The prominent bridge of her nose was crooked from a childhood injury, and her nostrils were naturally flared and then chapped by the multi- tudes of tissues she used to combat her cold. It is the last concrete image of her that I have. Catherine and I would often joke that her face was red from screaming at us. Outside the small bay window we added lore to our traded stories under her ever-present gaze. We would make her a legend: so intimi- dating that the wind wouldn’t touch her, lest it be pushed back much harder. She was equally frightening as a mother—to challenge her would be to defy generations of child abuse that her family lauded as good Catholic parenting. I palmed Catherine’s back to brace myself as I rose, my joints frozen by the snow. We were making a snowman to show my mother how talented we were. This was solely for her. We had no real neighbors. Our home was skirt- ed by hedge rows and dead fields. The nearest home was about a mile away, nestled in rural seclusion.

  • Joan Manuel Chouciño
    Fieldwork report JoanManuel Chouciño Introduction The document reports the activity and experience of the author as a musical operator in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Al Beddawi and Wavel. The activities carried out are part of the internship course Music and Resilience Support (MARS), conducted in two periods: from 7 to 14 April Al Beddawi camp, and from June 29 to July 8 2017, divided between the camps of Al Beddawi and Wavel. As a part of the Mars course, the focus of the course and of the internship is “psychosocial music intervention […] as a protection against multiple risk factors emerging in under-resourced and marginalized communities, where chronic high- or low- level stress affects emotional, cognitive and social functioning, in particular in children and adolescents, undermining the community's capacity to care for itself internally and to respond to the external environment with adaptation and flexibility.”1 The main objectives of the document are to connect the theoretical and practical contents developed throughout the course with field work. As long as the internship was carried out in two 1 1 Excerpt from project description in Music and resilience support website. separate periods for two months, it has allowed to integrate the experience of the first period in the planning of the second. This document arises from the overlap with an initial experience with a strong emotional and personal impact, followed by a period of reflection and analysis of the learning done. Based on this experience and reflection, a second visit to the fields is planned, which is characterized by being focused on the most purely musical aspects of the intervention, and by the possibility of knowing two different contexts.
