That’s right. Bocumast Headquarters just got news that David Kurtz has collected more Pokemon products than any other human being in the entire world. Click the image for a larger view! Although most Bocumast employees are considering looking for new work now, we are pretty proud of our CEO and wish him the best in trying to get “The Universe’s Largest and Creepiest Pokemon Collector EVER” title next.

the show is alive.

It was the great Cecil Taylor that said “improvisation is the life blood of music.” Well, there’s an event coming up that would make him proud. Dreaming Machines, Fight Spider with Spider and Aenka are three musical acts that aim to inspire, explore, question, revel, bewilder, transcend and sustain. The live conversations of each act are similar in theory, but yet quite different in sound. Oh, and Kirwin Brown will be there. Don’t miss out on this wonderful night of music:

Brief Synopsis:
The guiding principle of this ensemble is to create a collective of Denver and International musicians dedicated to free improvisation. Every Bottesini performance will be an entirely unique musical experience which will draw upon a multitude of musical genres and landscapes. In each coming performance various instrumentation and personnel changes will become the norm. You can expect to see some of the most talented and proficient musicians from around the world in all future Bottesini performances.

Each performance of Bottesini will focus strongly on a programmatic approach to free improvisation. The intent of this approach is to create musical landscapes with inherent form and structure; thus, lending the impression of composed rehearsed music.
