"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

He started releasing his own music before Y2K, and since then he’s worked with seemingly hundreds of artists, from garage-rockers Thee Oh Sees to singer-songwriter Sarah Bethe Nelson. And he has just released three separate records: Two full albums, “In Triangle Time” and “The Scuzzy Inputs of Willie Weird,” and one four-cut EP.

Throughout the album, as those who have followed Stoltz would expect, he’s not shy about showing his affection for Brian Wilson’s layering and Syd Barrett’s psychedelia, the latter prominently on the centerpiece, “Pyramid of Time” (as well as on the EP’s “Perception”). And yet, the quasi electropulse of “The Hill” may well be the “Triangle” album’s unexpected, magnetic peak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as for his other full-length release, “The Scuzzy Inputs of Willie Weird,” well, the title says it all.

Muñoz showcases three remarkable women from across Latin America, creating bespoke compositions and arrangements to fit the contours of their unmistakable sounds. Like so many Latin American musicians who have settled in the United States in recent decades, Santa Barbara-based Muñoz has created a highly personal style that could be called Latin jazz, though it has little to do with the Afro-Cuban/jazz synthesis forged by Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo and Mario Bauza in the 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, he’s crafted a luscious sound that’s more interested in song form and creating evocative settings for lyrics than groove.

Each track features different instrumentation. On “Argentina,” an elegant setting for a lyric by Nicaraguan singer/songwriter Luis Enrique Mejía, Herrera engages in a hip-swaying dance with the flugelhorn of Jonathan Dane, whose self-possessed horn work provides the album with another striking voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born and raised in Costa Rica, where he graduated from the National Conservatory, Muñoz moved to California in the mid-1970s to study music at UC Santa Barbara. He’s been there ever since, creating music for film, dance and theater, while documenting his own compositions on a series of acclaimed albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Voz\" is his most personal project yet, one that often finds him reaching back to his Central American roots for inspiration. “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlI_nm6rnBw\">Quisiera\u003c/a>” is a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist \u003ca href=\"http://www.grupomalpais.com/jaime_gamboa.php\">Jaime Gamboa\u003c/a>, a founding member of the great Costa Rican band Malpais.

The 86-year-old jazz great Ron Kalina provides gleaming counterpoint on chromatic harmonica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The album closes with the most intimate-sounding track, “Amanecer Luminoso,” or “Luminous Dawn,” a brief setting for a poem by Costa Rican literary lion Osvaldo Sauma featuring Magos Herrera, backed only by pianist Adam Asarnow. Muñoz doesn’t play on the piece, but as an artist attuned to the ephemeral nature of life and love, his voice comes through every track on \"Voz,\" a gossamer dreamscape of an album.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Can you check on him?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Licher and his wife, Karen, also lived in Swall Meadows at the time, “we didn’t even know that Ray existed,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he dutifully trekked up the hill in search of Mark’s father, found the cabin and knocked on the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first thing I saw on his walls were these amazing paintings,” Licher says. “I thought, wow, you know, these would be great to show in our space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Independent Project Press is the Lichers' “space.” The couple’s main business for the last 30 years has been creating unique printed material on vintage letterpress equipment, veritable works of art unto themselves. The space also houses The Project Room, a gallery that’s helped to galvanize the local art scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Licher’s enthusiasm, Dutcher was not thrilled with the idea. His first reaction was, \"Oh no, I’m done with showing my work in galleries. Galleries just want you to produce lots of work and I don’t do that. I don’t work fast and I don’t want to sell these anyway. I want to pass them on to my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutcher reluctantly agreed to an exhibition, after stipulating that none of the pieces would be for sale. Signed prints of the work are available, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so it happened.

Yet this entire exhibition might not have happened were it not for the fire and Dutcher’s son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it weren’t for Mark, they’d never been shown,” says the artist. “And the Round Fire and Bruce. They all came together and got me down here. Otherwise, the paintings, maybe through selfishness, they’d never been shown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ray left the family when Mark was 7 and, until recently, they saw each other only sporadically. But art is where they connect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say that my dad is the reason that I’m an artist,” says Mark. “It gives me encouragement that he’s been painting all these years. It really inspires me to keep going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ray’s art is what’s kept \u003cem>him\u003c/em> going. Each piece is continually evolving, and he doesn’t like to let them go. He still feels the sting of selling his work back in ’73.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just disappear,” he says. “What the hell have I got? Someone else has it. I have nothing to show for it but money. Money’s not that important to me. I’m not suffering for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his self-imposed four-decade absence from the gallery walls, Dutcher is glad to be back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy to have a show,” he says. “How long am I going to live? I’m a late bloomer, as they say, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Adventures in Visual Thought\" runs through November. Then Dutcher will pack his paintings into his old truck and drive them back up the mountain to his cabin.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Can you check on him?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Licher and his wife, Karen, also lived in Swall Meadows at the time, “we didn’t even know that Ray existed,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he dutifully trekked up the hill in search of Mark’s father, found the cabin and knocked on the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first thing I saw on his walls were these amazing paintings,” Licher says. “I thought, wow, you know, these would be great to show in our space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Independent Project Press is the Lichers' “space.” The couple’s main business for the last 30 years has been creating unique printed material on vintage letterpress equipment, veritable works of art unto themselves. The space also houses The Project Room, a gallery that’s helped to galvanize the local art scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Licher’s enthusiasm, Dutcher was not thrilled with the idea. His first reaction was, \"Oh no, I’m done with showing my work in galleries. Galleries just want you to produce lots of work and I don’t do that. I don’t work fast and I don’t want to sell these anyway. I want to pass them on to my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutcher reluctantly agreed to an exhibition, after stipulating that none of the pieces would be for sale. Signed prints of the work are available, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so it happened. The Sept. 25 opening night of \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/1495941167369951/\" target=\"_blank\">\"Adventures in Visual Thought,\"\u003c/a> a 40-year retrospective of Dutcher’s work, drew a significant chunk of tiny Bishop’s population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10738726\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10738726\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut.jpg\" alt=\"The adventures start here.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17256_VISUAL-THOUGHT.JPG-qut-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The adventures start here. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“You can see in his paintings, your mind’s eye would walk into the depth of them, so it’s pretty unique,” offers Karen Licher. “Ray’s got his own way to do this that I haven’t really seen with any other painter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small group stood in front of \"Tundra Pond,\" an oil on canvas image of yes, a tundra pond, but Dutcher has captured the light, the water and the moss-covered stones in such an exact manner it would seem to define photorealism. Yet this entire exhibition might not have happened were it not for the fire and Dutcher’s son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it weren’t for Mark, they’d never been shown,” says the artist. “And the Round Fire and Bruce. They all came together and got me down here. Otherwise, the paintings, maybe through selfishness, they’d never been shown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ray left the family when Mark was 7 and, until recently, they saw each other only sporadically. But art is where they connect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say that my dad is the reason that I’m an artist,” says Mark. “It gives me encouragement that he’s been painting all these years. It really inspires me to keep going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ray’s art is what’s kept \u003cem>him\u003c/em> going. Each piece is continually evolving, and he doesn’t like to let them go. He still feels the sting of selling his work back in ’73.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just disappear,” he says. “What the hell have I got? Someone else has it. I have nothing to show for it but money. Money’s not that important to me. I’m not suffering for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his self-imposed four-decade absence from the gallery walls, Dutcher is glad to be back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy to have a show,” he says. “How long am I going to live? I’m a late bloomer, as they say, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

State and an acclaimed violinist whose concerts take him around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I'm well organized -- which often times I'm not -- I can fly the plane, I can play my violin, I can teach, I can take pictures and I can take a second flight at sunset,\" said Todorov, 40, who lives in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grew up in Bulgaria in a family of musicians and started playing the violin at age 5. When he was 17, he was given a full scholarship to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.idyllwildarts.org\" target=\"_blank\">Idyllwild Arts Academy \u003c/a>in Southern California. \u003ca href=\"http://www.jassentodorov.com/performances_past.html\" target=\"_blank\">His music\u003c/a> has been getting attention for almost two decades. Now his photographs are being noticed, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month Todorov's picture of Koehn Lake in the Mojave Desert won a first-place \u003ca href=\"http://www.photoawards.com\" target=\"_blank\">International Photography Award \u003c/a>and he was named Nature Photographer of the Year in the contest's non-professional nature category, which drew 2,449 entries. Earlier this year, his image of Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone finished second in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldphoto.org/about-the-sony-world-photography-awards/\" target=\"_blank\">Sony World Photography Awards.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He shot Koehn Lake in August. His winning picture looks more like a painting than a photograph. Todorov thinks it resembles a magical forest, but it actually illustrates the effects of wind and time on a dry lake in Kern County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I stumbled upon it around sunset. There's nobody there and it's very remote,\" said Todorov. \"When you're performing, you get a natural high. It was the same kind of feeling. I had goosebumps when I was shooting it. These abstract shots are the ones I love the most. This is nature's art.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began flying in 2002 and is now licensed as a private, instrument-rated and commercial pilot, and a flight instructor, too. Five years ago, he bought a four-seat 1976 Piper Warrior, which he keeps at San Carlos Airport. It can go for 5½ hours at a stretch at 120 mph -- roughly from San Francisco to Twin Falls, Idaho.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10739554\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10739554 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut-800x543.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is one of Jassen Todorov's favorite subjects.\" width=\"800\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut-800x543.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut-400x271.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut-1440x977.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut-1180x801.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17260_jassen-grand-prismatic-spring-qut-960x652.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is one of Jassen Todorov's favorite subjects. \u003ccite>(Jassen Todorov)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jassentodorov.com\" target=\"_blank\">Todorov's mix of skills and passions\u003c/a> might seem improbable, but not to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a lot of patterns and repetition in music. There's a lot of discipline,\" he said. \"There are rules, but when you break them -- that's when it gets exciting. When you apply all of that to a new art form, you can advance quite fast. Music and photography are very similar in many ways.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other parallels, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can talk to people about what I've seen, but then I show them some pictures and they go 'wow' immediately,\" he said. \"That's the power of still photos. I can explain to you what Bach sounds like, but you hear it and it transcends you to a different reality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todorov's fascination with flying started a long time ago. He began collecting models of cars and airplanes when he was 5, and about 200 of them can still be found in his house in Bulgaria. His grandfather used to take him to the airport in Sofia to watch the planes come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The whole idea of traveling, of exploration, of discovery, seemed so fascinating,\" he said. \"It's much more interesting to see the world from above.

State. In the past 12 years, Todorov has taught classes there in chamber music literature, string methods, music appreciation, fundamentals theory and career management in music. He has also given private violin lessons to undergrads and graduate students -- as well as actor Richard Gere, to help him prep for his role in \"Bee Season.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although teaching and concerts are, as he puts it, his \"primary assignment,\" photography has become an obsession in the last three years, since he decided to seriously pursue it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todorov had just returned from a flight around the West that covered six states and 2,000 miles in four days. He'd shot about 800 pictures and had already posted some on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/jassensf/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">his Facebook page.\u003c/a> But he was still editing and happy to relive the trip through the photographs on his laptop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You think of fields of potatoes when you think of Idaho.

So far, he's racked up more than 2,000 hours of flying time since he got his license. He keeps a folding bike in his plane so that he can quickly get where he wants to go if he decides to land and take pictures from the ground. He used to lug along a bag full of charts, but now he relies on ForeFlight, an app on his iPad, for all his navigation needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His current camera is a Nikon D810, with a 70-200mm zoom lens. He holds it with his left hand and shoots with his right through a small open window. The camera is heavy -- about 5 pounds -- and Todorov lifts it up to demonstrate its heft. Then he brings out his Tomaso Eberle violin, which was made in Naples in 1778.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To put it in perspective, Mozart was 22 and Beethoven was only 8 when my violin was made,\" he said. \"But it's kind of like the camera. If you have a better instrument, it allows you to better express yourself. With music you want an older instrument. The more it ages, the more it starts to flourish. But with technology, in a year or two my camera won't be so relevant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the best equipment, though, clarity and sharpness can be elusive. But Todorov enjoys the challenge. He was dealing with high winds and turbulence at 11,000 feet when he shot his award-winning photo of Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You really want to take advantage of the morning light and the sunset light,\" he said. \"Sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I don't. If I don't, there's always tomorrow.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10739610\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10739610\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-800x524.jpg\" alt=\"People in Candaba, a town in the Philippines about two hours north of Manila, are using canoes to get to their homes after a terrible flood in fall 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-800x524.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-400x262.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-1440x944.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-1180x773.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-960x629.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People in Candaba, a town in the Philippines about two hours north of Manila, are using canoes to get to their homes after a terrible flood in fall 2015. \u003ccite>(Jassen Todorov)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His pictures have been published by National Geographic, The Guardian, China News, USA Today, The Telegraph and several other media outlets, and they've been exhibited in London and Chicago. In August, National Geographic asked him to be a guest editor for its \"Your Shot From Above\" assignment -- which entailed reviewing 17,442 photographs before picking 29 winners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there's no doubt that music comes first, to the point that Todorov did not have time to go to New York to accept his prize for the Koehn Lake picture, presented Oct. 27 at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lucies.org\" target=\"_blank\">Lucie Awards\u003c/a> in Carnegie Hall -- the same venue where he's performed twice as a musician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, traveling for performances gives him more opportunities to take pictures, and he often rents a plane. When he was in the Philippines in early October for a concert, he captured the struggles of people trying to reach their homes by canoe after a huge flood in the town of Candaba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very humbling experience,\" said Todorov. \"It puts the problems of myself and my friends in perspective.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had a similar reaction shooting the oil fields surrounding Taft in Kern County. \"It's so polluted here,\" he said. \"This is what we do to ourselves.

When I'm in these areas, my greatest inspiration is Bach and his music.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He often listens to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms with his iPod when he's flying, making his trips even more surreal. But it doesn't take music to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When my girlfriend and I were flying to Wyoming, there was a hawk next to us at 11,000 feet,\" he said. \"You don't think of hawks as going that high. And every once in a while, there are a lot of beautiful birds. They're moving and I'm moving. One day I saw a huge flock of egrets taking off from the salts in San Francisco Bay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Todorov's outings are not always so ethereal. He recently landed in Kayenta, which is on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. The residents were surprised to see him pedaling through town on his folding bicycle, and a few invited him into their homes. That went well. On his way out of town, though, three large canines started chasing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was imagining myself being ripped apart by these dogs,\" he said. \"They eventually gave up but it took awhile. I rode so fast. I couldn't wait to get back in the plane.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another time, coming back from Utah, he spotted trails -- the kind made by aerobatic aircraft -- on the right side of his plane. \"And then I felt crazy turbulence,\" he said. \"People were shooting manmade rockets. They could have shot me down. I could have exploded. Talk about the Wild West.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not scary but even stranger: In December 2013, he was returning from Mono Lake and flying over the Sierra when he shot a sunset photo with his cellphone to send to his mother and girlfriend. But he dropped the device and it fell 11,000 feet into the snow. Eight months later, someone found it on a trail. There wasn't a scratch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These kinds of things, when they occur, you think: Is that a dream?\" Todorov said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10739615\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10739615\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Jassen Todorov stands in front of his plane, a four-seater 1976 Piper Warrior that can fly almost six hours at a stretch.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17264_jassen-plane-qut-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jassen Todorov stands in front of his plane, a four-seater 1976 Piper Warrior that can fly almost six hours at a stretch. \u003ccite>(Alex Bederov)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His favorite photos are from this past summer, when he went to Iceland. \"The rivers of Iceland are probably the most beautiful thing I've seen in my entire life,\" he said. \"Volcanic ash mixed with water -- I could not stop photographing.

State and an acclaimed violinist whose concerts take him around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I'm well organized -- which often times I'm not -- I can fly the plane, I can play my violin, I can teach, I can take pictures and I can take a second flight at sunset,\" said Todorov, 40, who lives in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grew up in Bulgaria in a family of musicians and started playing the violin at age 5. When he was 17, he was given a full scholarship to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.idyllwildarts.org\" target=\"_blank\">Idyllwild Arts Academy \u003c/a>in Southern California. \u003ca href=\"http://www.jassentodorov.com/performances_past.html\" target=\"_blank\">His music\u003c/a> has been getting attention for almost two decades. Now his photographs are being noticed, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month Todorov's picture of Koehn Lake in the Mojave Desert won a first-place \u003ca href=\"http://www.photoawards.com\" target=\"_blank\">International Photography Award \u003c/a>and he was named Nature Photographer of the Year in the contest's non-professional nature category, which drew 2,449 entries. Earlier this year, his image of Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone finished second in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.worldphoto.org/about-the-sony-world-photography-awards/\" target=\"_blank\">Sony World Photography Awards.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He shot Koehn Lake in August. His winning picture looks more like a painting than a photograph. Todorov thinks it resembles a magical forest, but it actually illustrates the effects of wind and time on a dry lake in Kern County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is nature's art.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began flying in 2002 and is now licensed as a private, instrument-rated and commercial pilot, and a flight instructor, too. Five years ago, he bought a four-seat 1976 Piper Warrior, which he keeps at San Carlos Airport.

There's a lot of discipline,\" he said. \"There are rules, but when you break them -- that's when it gets exciting. When you apply all of that to a new art form, you can advance quite fast. Music and photography are very similar in many ways.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other parallels, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can talk to people about what I've seen, but then I show them some pictures and they go 'wow' immediately,\" he said. \"That's the power of still photos. I can explain to you what Bach sounds like, but you hear it and it transcends you to a different reality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todorov's fascination with flying started a long time ago. He began collecting models of cars and airplanes when he was 5, and about 200 of them can still be found in his house in Bulgaria. His grandfather used to take him to the airport in Sofia to watch the planes come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The whole idea of traveling, of exploration, of discovery, seemed so fascinating,\" he said. \"It's much more interesting to see the world from above.

State. In the past 12 years, Todorov has taught classes there in chamber music literature, string methods, music appreciation, fundamentals theory and career management in music. He has also given private violin lessons to undergrads and graduate students -- as well as actor Richard Gere, to help him prep for his role in \"Bee Season.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although teaching and concerts are, as he puts it, his \"primary assignment,\" photography has become an obsession in the last three years, since he decided to seriously pursue it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todorov had just returned from a flight around the West that covered six states and 2,000 miles in four days. He'd shot about 800 pictures and had already posted some on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/jassensf/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">his Facebook page.\u003c/a> But he was still editing and happy to relive the trip through the photographs on his laptop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You think of fields of potatoes when you think of Idaho.

So far, he's racked up more than 2,000 hours of flying time since he got his license. He keeps a folding bike in his plane so that he can quickly get where he wants to go if he decides to land and take pictures from the ground. He used to lug along a bag full of charts, but now he relies on ForeFlight, an app on his iPad, for all his navigation needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His current camera is a Nikon D810, with a 70-200mm zoom lens. He holds it with his left hand and shoots with his right through a small open window. The camera is heavy -- about 5 pounds -- and Todorov lifts it up to demonstrate its heft. Then he brings out his Tomaso Eberle violin, which was made in Naples in 1778.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To put it in perspective, Mozart was 22 and Beethoven was only 8 when my violin was made,\" he said. \"But it's kind of like the camera. If you have a better instrument, it allows you to better express yourself. With music you want an older instrument. The more it ages, the more it starts to flourish. But with technology, in a year or two my camera won't be so relevant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the best equipment, though, clarity and sharpness can be elusive. But Todorov enjoys the challenge. He was dealing with high winds and turbulence at 11,000 feet when he shot his award-winning photo of Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You really want to take advantage of the morning light and the sunset light,\" he said. \"Sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I don't. If I don't, there's always tomorrow.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10739610\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10739610\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-800x524.jpg\" alt=\"People in Candaba, a town in the Philippines about two hours north of Manila, are using canoes to get to their homes after a terrible flood in fall 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-800x524.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-400x262.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-1440x944.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-1180x773.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/RS17263_jassen-philippines-qut-960x629.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People in Candaba, a town in the Philippines about two hours north of Manila, are using canoes to get to their homes after a terrible flood in fall 2015. \u003ccite>(Jassen Todorov)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His pictures have been published by National Geographic, The Guardian, China News, USA Today, The Telegraph and several other media outlets, and they've been exhibited in London and Chicago. In August, National Geographic asked him to be a guest editor for its \"Your Shot From Above\" assignment -- which entailed reviewing 17,442 photographs before picking 29 winners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there's no doubt that music comes first, to the point that Todorov did not have time to go to New York to accept his prize for the Koehn Lake picture, presented Oct. 27 at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lucies.org\" target=\"_blank\">Lucie Awards\u003c/a> in Carnegie Hall -- the same venue where he's performed twice as a musician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, traveling for performances gives him more opportunities to take pictures, and he often rents a plane.

When I'm in these areas, my greatest inspiration is Bach and his music.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He often listens to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms with his iPod when he's flying, making his trips even more surreal. But it doesn't take music to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When my girlfriend and I were flying to Wyoming, there was a hawk next to us at 11,000 feet,\" he said. \"You don't think of hawks as going that high. And every once in a while, there are a lot of beautiful birds. They're moving and I'm moving. One day I saw a huge flock of egrets taking off from the salts in San Francisco Bay.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Todorov's outings are not always so ethereal. He recently landed in Kayenta, which is on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. The residents were surprised to see him pedaling through town on his folding bicycle, and a few invited him into their homes. That went well. On his way out of town, though, three large canines started chasing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was imagining myself being ripped apart by these dogs,\" he said. \"They eventually gave up but it took awhile. I rode so fast. I couldn't wait to get back in the plane.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another time, coming back from Utah, he spotted trails -- the kind made by aerobatic aircraft -- on the right side of his plane. \"And then I felt crazy turbulence,\" he said. \"People were shooting manmade rockets. They could have shot me down. I could have exploded.

It’s still full of unexpected twists and turns, in story and in her ever-evolving, ancient-modern mix of folk and classical-derived styles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and co-producer \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Georgeson\" target=\"_blank\">Noah Georgeson\u003c/a> continue to show a taste for the unusual and arcane (a chorus of musical saws on one song, “The Things I Say”), but never without artistic impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Divers” opens with a war scene, a battle not witnessed directly but reported by scouts, in the song “Anecdotes.” Love is a battlefield? OK, she’s not the first to use that analogy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s an intimacy to the portrayal, a depth of both experience and emotion, expressed equally in words and music, that threads through the shifting scenes and scenarios that unfold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keke7BGzJPI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most touching, moving moment, perhaps, comes in “Same Old Man,” a traditional folk song in which the singer has returned home from an emotionally painful time in New York. She’s comforted to see the same old woman putting out the wash, the same old man sitting by the mill. Yet the pain remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"6NMhR7vXdN8CwUujyibzyW98gdmeDObW\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The title song, with poetically archaic language and an art-song lilt, describes a diver who pops up for air now and then and a woman who watches from a pier. It’s a strange dance of a relationship, but in her telling seems to hold infinite possibilities and magical mysteries within its “rules that bind,” as she sings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closer, “Time, As a Symptom,” is a song of birth, with a touch of death. Here she and Georgeson outdo themselves, even by the chamber music standards set on earlier albums. With gradually increasing orchestral grandeur — strings and winds and peeling tympani — Newsom’s confident, strong and not-odd voice is joined by chirping birds. Yes, birds! As the music fades, they remain to sing us out, nurtured by nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twee tweets? From Joanna Newsom, it’s a perfect ending.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s a strange dance of a relationship, but in her telling seems to hold infinite possibilities and magical mysteries within its “rules that bind,” as she sings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closer, “Time, As a Symptom,” is a song of birth, with a touch of death. Here she and Georgeson outdo themselves, even by the chamber music standards set on earlier albums. With gradually increasing orchestral grandeur — strings and winds and peeling tympani — Newsom’s confident, strong and not-odd voice is joined by chirping birds. Yes, birds! As the music fades, they remain to sing us out, nurtured by nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twee tweets? From Joanna Newsom, it’s a perfect ending.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
