The Open Circle

The sessions that produced Out In The Open were brisk and instinctive, expansive yet intimate, visceral and immediate - and they would have had to be, for herein are songs that tell the big story by drawing the small ones. There is, to my ear, as much of Raymond Carver's literate and humane influence on display as the Osborne Brothers, as much Welty in the pointed details - both sublime and confounding - as Clark and Van Zandt. Compassion and determination act as connective tissue when, throughout this song cycle, the bones, muscle, and blood of daily life dance with loose-limbed motion toward the inevitable, guided by an ethos best articulated by Sam Beckett who directed that when we falter, we try again and ''fail better.''

This edited collection covers Friedrich Waismann's most influential contributions to twentieth-century philosophy of language: his concepts of open texture and language strata, his early criticism of verificationism and the analytic-synthetic distinction, as well as their significance for experimental and legal philosophy.

In ACROSS THE OPEN SPACES, vocal ensemble KHORIKOS traces a path from isolation to belonging, from intimacy to loneliness, and from dark to light — all of which can be both crushing and ecstatic.

In ACROSS THE OPEN SPACES, vocal ensemble KHORIKOS traces a path from isolation to belonging, from intimacy to loneliness, and from dark to light — all of which can be both crushing and ecstatic. With their ethereal blend and agile, dynamic singing, KHORIKOS performs pieces written largely for and by the group, from reimagined medieval chant to heartfelt settings of contemporary poetry. By standing in a circle and recording in 360°, KHORIKOS has captured the intimate and powerful experience of being surrounded by sound, allowing listeners to follow voices as they bend and move, and to inhabit an otherworldly sonic space.
