Confucius and the Madman
Confucius and the Madman by Tiago Sousa
From Tiago Sousa's Bandcamp:
I find the concert to be a central moment in musical practice. I understand it as the only moment of truth regarding music. The entertainment industry imposes upon it normalization, flattening and simulation. It is the fiction and the separation which hold that simulation in place. In it we’re all playing and acting – the artists play off their personalities, all eccentric to a degree, and the audience plays off its voyeur...

Yuja
From The New Yorker:
The arresting photograph that was chosen out of the hundreds, possibly thousands, of pictures Dukovic took of Yuja at the piano and, later, in the first-floor showroom, posed full figure in front of a piano with its lid up, represents her as no concertgoer has ever seen her. The wild disorder of the hair has never been seen in a concert hall. (Yuja’s hair tends to stay in place throughout the most rousing of her performances.) And the foreshortened, oversized hand is an...
Car Seat Headrest: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
For a singer who's sought privacy in the parking lot of a Target so he could record vocals in the backseat of his car, Will Toledo hasn't been shy about sharing his work. By age 23, he'd already released a dozen albums. Toledo, who records under the name Car Seat Headrest, is prolific but never conventional.

Colin Combs

Far more affection than angst figures in the adolescent wasteland where the eighteen-year-old photographer Colin Combs portrays his friends, most of them high-school seniors from Dayton, Ohio. Combs’s home town is sometimes called the heroin capital of the United States. His mother, a respiratory therapist, has stories of patients who have overdosed or suffered from trafficking; his father, a car salesman, speaks warily of a gas station near his workplace that attr...
