The Arts, Technology, and Sport

These are my year-end totals for running over this past year. A year in which I spent the first three weeks of January having numerous invasive health tests done, which limited my ability to get out on the trails to start the year. A year that had me fighting metatarsalgia in my left foot for over a month, which kept me at lower mileage as I nursed it back to strength. A year that had me fighting COVID for two weeks straight and stripped me of nearly three months of fitness in just those two weeks of downtime. See, sport…especially endurance sports…push you to your limits, reset your expectations, humble you, increase your empathy, inspire you, call you out when you think of phoning it in, and most importantly in my case…keep my mental health in check. I guess you could say those first six things are a recipe for the last.

Over the last few months, my friend Chris Davis and I have been putting on shows in Nashville as FMRL. We’ve already hosted a number of wonderful events which have included the likes of Jason Lescalleet, Jeremy Bible, Dark Tips, Evan Lipson/Bob Stagner, Kevin Brown and Sam Jacobs. This, along with my other passions in regenerative design, really helps to build community. Building community and culture is vital to me and I’m so proud to be a part of this series. We have a number of shows scheduled for presentation throughout the Autumn and Winter. Here’s a list of what’s coming up. Please come out to say hello and support these artists.

Brian Dettmer – Integrated-Electronics

I’m always on the lookout for art and artists that inspire me to create my own works. Luckily, once in a while I run across someone’s work that I’m just in awe of and it inspires me to get on with my own creative endeavors. Brian Dettmer is one of those people.

From Wikipedia: Brian Dettmer (born 1974) is an American contemporary artist. He is noted for his alteration of preexisting mediaâ€”such as old books, maps, record albums, and cassette tapesâ€”to create new, transformed works of visual fine art.

Philip Glass – Train/Spaceship Parts 1 & 2 from Einstein on the Beach

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:31:03 +0000

There aren’t too many times in my life where I’ve felt completely overwhelmed and engulfed by a live music environment. When those times hit and the goosebumps don’t go away, I remember why I started playing music in the first place. A couple of years ago my wife, Amy, got us tickets to see Philip Glass: A Retrospective to celebrate his 70th birthday at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center here in Nashville. We were very excited to see a group of musicians play some Philip Glass music. When we arrived at the symphony hall, we had no idea what was in store for us. It turns out that it wasn’t just a “group of musicians” that were to play, but Philip himself and his original ensemble. I can’t explain the feelings that coursed through me that night as I swam inside of every detail. I felt nervous, full of anxiety, incredibly happy, and incredibly sad as I was lulled in and out of twisting arpeggios. You don’t so much listen to Philip and his ensemble as you perhaps live inside of their cacophony of life. It was one of my favorite experiences that I’ve encountered in my life. Period.

I must say that I absolutely love this concept and delivery. I’ve designed similar boxes as prototypes, but here Craig delivers them into a wonderfully immersive experience. Bravo!
