I knew this was the kind of project people would be able to relate to and fall in love with for multiple reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735386\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735386\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"Reyna Amaya and Donte Clark in 'The North Pole'. \" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-26-e1486498958824.jpeg 1034w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reyna Amaya and Donte Clark in ‘The North Pole’. \u003ccite>(Photo: Danny Telles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You wrote and filmed the series before Trump got elected.

Like everyone I know (and yes, I do know people who live in exotic red states like Wisconsin and even Florida), I’m horrified by what Trump’s doing. I’m terrified. The Muslim ban, the so-called wall, the reversal on Standing Rock and Keystone XL? It’s all bad. But I also know that horror and outrage will only get us so far. We also need joy. We need stories of hope and possibility, stories of rebellion and ridiculousness, stories that are bold, beautiful, and even make us laugh a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amaya:\u003c/strong> I think with Trump’s election, it just gives us more to cover, more to touch on that the American people are starving for right now. People want to feel like someone is listening, like someone cares about what’s going on in their city, in their community, and in their lives. Why are people marching right now? Because they are frustrated, they don’t feel heard and they don’t feel like their concerns are being taken into consideration or prioritized. This series gives us an opportunity to have our voices heard, to reach people who have either never thought about these issues as well as the folks who want to join the choir. Art, comedy and media continue to be powerful tools and I’m hoping this series can be another force in uniting us in a positive way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12735387 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg\" alt=\"On set during the making of 'The North Pole' at The Hub in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1020x576.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1920x1084.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1180x666.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-960x542.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-375x212.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-520x294.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866.jpeg 1986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On set during the making of ‘The North Pole’ at The Hub in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell us about the process of making the series.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We held auditions for the four main characters, and were lucky to find the perfect actors for each role in Reyna, Donte Clark, Eli Marienthal and Santiago Rosas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We shot over 14 days last summer and fall.

Working with the Oakland-based environmental, labor and cultural activism non-profit Movement Generation, we’ll partner with groups fighting for racial justice, climate resilience, and working against displacement.

But for us making this show, it’s not just a metaphor. This is our home. This is our environment. One of the things we want to challenge with the show is this idea that “climate activism” is just about stopping greenhouse gases or saving the whales. It’s really about changing the fundamental nature of this hyper-capitalist economy that is destroying environments across the globe. And that includes for poor people and people of color who are being pushed out of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735388\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"A poster advertising the Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1920x1082.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1180x665.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427.jpeg 2007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster advertising the fictional Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both with gentrification and climate change, a lot of people throw up their hands and say, “What’s the point?

The humor makes it all easy to digest and allows people to start to have some of these difficult conversations which is the first step in leading to change. Humor is an ice-breaker, a tolerance tickler, as well as a thinking activator — all key ingredients to sparking change.

Good comedy cuts through the bullsh-t. Laughter is contagious; exactly the type of positive energy we need right now. Most political art, especially art around climate change, is depressing as hell. “Look, here’s another part of the world that is dying. We’re all going to die soon! But hey, come get involved!” isn’t the type of inspiration that gets people out of bed in the morning, let alone join a movement. We’re here to change that. \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> isn’t a traditional sitcom. This is a dramatic comedy with unapologetic progressive politics. We start off with the laughs.

In Oakland, in Detroit, at Standing Rock, folks are creating a new vision of justice and radical ecology. We’re going to broadcast that vision, and we’re going to remind people that laughter and joy are a form of medicine, and that we all need to keep going, now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Josh Healey with musician Boots Riley in a video about environmental justice:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BROTHER EARTH (with Boots Riley and Josh Healey)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQJm9-wwlsQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

I remember people used to rock hella North Face gear and puff coats in the summer to stay true to the North Pole theme. Seriously, it was that deep. Sharing this piece of Oakland culture is important to me! I love that \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> highlights what is happening right now in urban cities around the country while at the same time being able to put the magnifying glass over the environmental issues that have been devastating communities for generations.

The Muslim ban, the so-called wall, the reversal on Standing Rock and Keystone XL? It’s all bad. But I also know that horror and outrage will only get us so far. We also need joy. We need stories of hope and possibility, stories of rebellion and ridiculousness, stories that are bold, beautiful, and even make us laugh a little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amaya:\u003c/strong> I think with Trump’s election, it just gives us more to cover, more to touch on that the American people are starving for right now. People want to feel like someone is listening, like someone cares about what’s going on in their city, in their community, and in their lives. Why are people marching right now? Because they are frustrated, they don’t feel heard and they don’t feel like their concerns are being taken into consideration or prioritized. This series gives us an opportunity to have our voices heard, to reach people who have either never thought about these issues as well as the folks who want to join the choir. Art, comedy and media continue to be powerful tools and I’m hoping this series can be another force in uniting us in a positive way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735387\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12735387 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg\" alt=\"On set during the making of 'The North Pole' at The Hub in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-800x452.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1020x576.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1920x1084.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-1180x666.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-960x542.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-375x212.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866-520x294.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-28-e1486499149866.jpeg 1986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On set during the making of ‘The North Pole’ at The Hub in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell us about the process of making the series.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We held auditions for the four main characters, and were lucky to find the perfect actors for each role in Reyna, Donte Clark, Eli Marienthal and Santiago Rosas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We shot over 14 days last summer and fall.

But for us making this show, it’s not just a metaphor. This is our home. This is our environment. One of the things we want to challenge with the show is this idea that “climate activism” is just about stopping greenhouse gases or saving the whales. It’s really about changing the fundamental nature of this hyper-capitalist economy that is destroying environments across the globe. And that includes for poor people and people of color who are being pushed out of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735388\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg\" alt=\"A poster advertising the Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-800x451.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-768x433.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1020x575.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1920x1082.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-1180x665.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-960x541.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427-520x293.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-29-e1486499314427.jpeg 2007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster advertising the fictional Greengos bioengineering firm, captured on set during a shoot for ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both with gentrification and climate change, a lot of people throw up their hands and say, “What’s the point?

The humor makes it all easy to digest and allows people to start to have some of these difficult conversations which is the first step in leading to change. Humor is an ice-breaker, a tolerance tickler, as well as a thinking activator — all key ingredients to sparking change. The first place you have to spark change is in the way people think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12735389\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12735389\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-800x450.jpeg\" alt=\"Donte Clark in a scene from 'The North Pole'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-800x450.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-160x90.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-1020x573.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-960x540.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-240x135.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808-520x292.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/attachment-27-e1486499381808.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Donte Clark in a scene from ‘The North Pole.’ \u003ccite>(Photo: Danny Telles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> We live in the generation raised on Dave Chapelle and Jon Stewart as our most trusted names in news. Good comedy cuts through the bullsh-t. Laughter is contagious; exactly the type of positive energy we need right now. Most political art, especially art around climate change, is depressing as hell. “Look, here’s another part of the world that is dying. We’re all going to die soon! But hey, come get involved!” isn’t the type of inspiration that gets people out of bed in the morning, let alone join a movement. We’re here to change that. \u003cem>The North Pole\u003c/em> isn’t a traditional sitcom. This is a dramatic comedy with unapologetic progressive politics. We start off with the laughs. But the real punchline? It’ll make you want to do more than just laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How will you know that the project has succeeded?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Healey:\u003c/strong> Success for us means flipping the script on the false narratives that “we have to choose between good jobs or affordable housing”; that “people of color don’t care about the environment”; and that when it comes to threats like gentrification and global warming, “there is no alternative.” We know there is an alternative, and our communities are building it right here, right now. In Oakland, in Detroit, at Standing Rock, folks are creating a new vision of justice and radical ecology. We’re going to broadcast that vision, and we’re going to remind people that laughter and joy are a form of medicine, and that we all need to keep going, now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Josh Healey with musician Boots Riley in a video about environmental justice:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BROTHER EARTH (with Boots Riley and Josh Healey)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQJm9-wwlsQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is an updated version with brand new events so you don't end up showing up to that Icona Pop concert expecting an encore 1,460 days later.)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you don't have a boo. No biggie. Sure, it's fun to hold hands and have someone buy you an eclair for no reason and all that jazz. Loving someone else is super. But there's another form of love that predates loving someone else: the love you have for yourself a.k.a. The Greatest Love of All! So this Valentine's Day, let's not be so terribly obvious and transform into Bridget Jones. There's really no reason you need to cry while eating chocolate and singing Celine Dion ballads in your underwear. You're cute and fun, and you should get out there and do cute and fun things! Here are a few ideas of ways to spend your Valentine's Day:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>1.

But there are plenty of friends who are flying solo just like you. So call your favorite friends from this group and be each other's Valentines. Make a three course meal for each other.

She’s the force behind Austra, and wrote ‘Utopia,’ the song above, for her new album \u003cem>Future Politics.\u003c/em> She’s working with Maya Postepski, Dorian Wolf, and Ryan Wonsiak, and they make quite a wall of beautiful sounds.

An early champion of Charles Ives and the challenging twelve-tone compositions of Schoenberg, his own music evolved into a lush and melodic tapestry of influences, including Gamelan from Bali and Indonesia, Native American music and jazz. He was a pacifist and activist against nuclear war, a fan of Esperanto, a calligrapher, and an out gay man at a time when that was still a large risk. Conductor and pianist Dennis Russell Davies calls him a great craftsman. “He could write beautiful twelve-tone dissonant music, he was at home in a Renaissance style,” Davies said. “Lou was not only gifted but also very well educated as a musician and composer. And I miss him very much, he was a good friend, and I’ve never forgotten the lessons I learned.” A number of music organizations (including SF Symphony’s SoundBox, in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/10/review-brilliant-tribute-to-legendary-lou-harrison-kicks-off-san-francisco-symphony-soundbox-season/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnificent program\u003c/a> last month) have been celebrating Harrison, with Bay Area concerts through June.

She’s the force behind Austra, and wrote ‘Utopia,’ the song above, for her new album \u003cem>Future Politics.\u003c/em> She’s working with Maya Postepski, Dorian Wolf, and Ryan Wonsiak, and they make quite a wall of beautiful sounds.

An early champion of Charles Ives and the challenging twelve-tone compositions of Schoenberg, his own music evolved into a lush and melodic tapestry of influences, including Gamelan from Bali and Indonesia, Native American music and jazz. He was a pacifist and activist against nuclear war, a fan of Esperanto, a calligrapher, and an out gay man at a time when that was still a large risk. Conductor and pianist Dennis Russell Davies calls him a great craftsman. “He could write beautiful twelve-tone dissonant music, he was at home in a Renaissance style,” Davies said. “Lou was not only gifted but also very well educated as a musician and composer. And I miss him very much, he was a good friend, and I’ve never forgotten the lessons I learned.” A number of music organizations (including SF Symphony’s SoundBox, in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/10/review-brilliant-tribute-to-legendary-lou-harrison-kicks-off-san-francisco-symphony-soundbox-season/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnificent program\u003c/a> last month) have been celebrating Harrison, with Bay Area concerts through June.
