Music journalism follows an internal logic.  You describe events, you describe sounds.  You observe, evaluate, then rate.  Within a given rubric, everything can be made to make sense.  Throughout this year’s festival, Palimpsest Magazine & Art POP will co-publish a daily newsletter at DHC / ART engaging with festival events.
 
A team of music writers and art academics including Rollie Pemberton a.k.a Cadence Weapon, and author and performance artist Jacob Wren, will be challenged to approach the festival from a theoretical position which belies music journalism’s typical role of enforcing normative critical standards and advancing notions of progress.  Visitors to the news room will be encouraged to create their own aphorisms, ala Jenny Holzer's "Truisms," one of which will be selected, daily, at random to serve as the newsletter's masthead and motto, reflecting our aim of emerging new potential truths in new moments.  
 
The newsletter will be printed using a Risograph generously supplied by Copies Concordia, and will be distributed throughout the festival circuit.
