On to Lumen this evening, for the ACG leg of guitarist Jason Carter's British tour. Awesome. Jason has taken his art further than ever with his harp guitar.
Well-travelled, often to areas described by President George W Bush as an 'axis of evil', Jason described how repressive regimes are often criticised symbolically through music (e.g. Sibelius composed Finlandia in 1899 as a burst of national pride ever though Finland was occupied at the time by Russia).
And this is why the Taliban in Afghanistan were so keen to destroy any cultural activity: they knew where potential opposition might germinate its feelings.
