She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Two new albums by visionary California artists look backward and forward at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than four decades expanding the creative limits of classical music, San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kronosquartet.org\">Kronos Quartet\u003c/a> is more than capable of delivering surprises. On their latest album, “Folk Songs,” they’re exploring traditional American music with four guest artists who are all Nonesuch label mates: \u003ca href=\"http://www.nataliemerchant.com\">Natalie Merchant\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.oliviachaney.net\">Olivia Chaney\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.samamidon.com\">Sam Amidon\u003c/a> and the Carolina Chocolate Drops’ \u003ca href=\"http://rhiannongiddens.com\">Rhiannon Giddens\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of what makes “Folk Songs” such a departure for Kronos is what’s not here. We often expect instrumental pyrotechnics and exotic timbres from the ensemble. “Folk Songs” slows the action down, luxuriating in traditional American forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working with imaginative arrangers like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabe_Witcher\">Gabe Witcher,\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://nicomuhly.com\">Nico Muhly\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://jacobgarchik.com\">Jacob Garchik\u003c/a> (son of longtime San Francisco Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik), Kronos keeps the spotlight on the singers, who fully inhabit a series of soundscapes haunted by death, separation and judgment day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11566440\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways the album’s touchstone is Amidon’s lugubrious take on “I See the Sign,” a harbinger of the apocalypse in which he sounds utterly resigned to the end. The song also served as the title track of his 2010 Bedroom Community album, an avant-chamber folk project featuring gorgeous arrangements by Muhly, who seems to distill that chart for Kronos. Muhly also contributes a starkly beautiful arrangement for Amidon on “Oh Where,” a traditional lament that opens the album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giddens seems to be everywhere these days, and her striking voice is heard to advantage on “Folk Songs.” Like with Amidon, Kronos features her on a song she previously recorded, with Gabe Witcher revamping his arrangement of “Factory Girl” (the title track of her 2015 Nonesuch EP).

Two new albums by visionary California artists look backward and forward at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than four decades expanding the creative limits of classical music, San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kronosquartet.org\">Kronos Quartet\u003c/a> is more than capable of delivering surprises. On their latest album, “Folk Songs,” they’re exploring traditional American music with four guest artists who are all Nonesuch label mates: \u003ca href=\"http://www.nataliemerchant.com\">Natalie Merchant\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.oliviachaney.net\">Olivia Chaney\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.samamidon.com\">Sam Amidon\u003c/a> and the Carolina Chocolate Drops’ \u003ca href=\"http://rhiannongiddens.com\">Rhiannon Giddens\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of what makes “Folk Songs” such a departure for Kronos is what’s not here. We often expect instrumental pyrotechnics and exotic timbres from the ensemble. “Folk Songs” slows the action down, luxuriating in traditional American forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working with imaginative arrangers like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabe_Witcher\">Gabe Witcher,\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://nicomuhly.com\">Nico Muhly\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://jacobgarchik.com\">Jacob Garchik\u003c/a> (son of longtime San Francisco Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik), Kronos keeps the spotlight on the singers, who fully inhabit a series of soundscapes haunted by death, separation and judgment day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11566440\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/KRONOS-QUARTET-Folk-Songs-sq.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The song also served as the title track of his 2010 Bedroom Community album, an avant-chamber folk project featuring gorgeous arrangements by Muhly, who seems to distill that chart for Kronos. Muhly also contributes a starkly beautiful arrangement for Amidon on “Oh Where,” a traditional lament that opens the album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giddens seems to be everywhere these days, and her striking voice is heard to advantage on “Folk Songs.” Like with Amidon, Kronos features her on a song she previously recorded, with Gabe Witcher revamping his arrangement of “Factory Girl” (the title track of her 2015 Nonesuch EP). The contrast between the purity of her tone and the brutal story about an industrial disaster heightens the drama, which rises with Sunny Yang’s cello.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/YAcikv1Q1eY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/YAcikv1Q1eY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>With so many bad tidings, rumors of war can’t be far behind, and Natalie Merchant continues her sojourn into Anglo-American roots music with “Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier,” a swirling, ache-filled arrangement by Garchik.

She fears that if this free, democratic platform were to lose its relevance because of corporate upheaval, “the freedom of being an independent artist without a plan [would be] taken away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoundCloud has been hugely advantageous for local artists such as Oakland’s Kamaiyah, who quickly ascended to an Interscope deal and a collaboration with Drake off the strength of her self-released single, “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kamaiyah/how-does-it-feel-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Does It Feel\u003c/a>.” According to artists and industry insiders, the Bay Area is notorious for having an insular music scene that mainstream labels tend to overlook. The ability to use SoundCloud to bypass industry gatekeepers has been crucial for the Bay Area’s newest breakout stars. Elder recalls, for instance, how Rayana Jay, the singer she manages, received an outpouring of business opportunities after her song “Magic” accumulated 250,000 plays on SoundCloud in its first two weeks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13741654\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"East Bay artist Rexx Life Raj has benefitted from SoundCloud's viral opportunities.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13741654\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander-520x293.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/RexxLifeRaj.Marco_.Alexander.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">East Bay artist Rexx Life Raj has benefitted from SoundCloud’s viral opportunities. \u003ccite>(Marco Alexander)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Berkeley rapper Rexx Life Raj had a similar experience when the website Hot New Hip-Hop reposted his song “Shit n’ Floss” on its SoundCloud page, catapulting it to over 734,000 streams. “It boosted the record in a crazy way,” he says. “It put it into a million people’s phones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past several years, SoundCloud has struggled to monetize its business model, introducing ads and offering two tiers of ad-free subscriptions, SoundCloud Go and SoundCloud Go+. But according to the TechCrunch report that broke the news about the company’s recent layoffs, SoundCloud’s number of listeners is said to have fallen from 175 million to somewhere near 70 million over the past three years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Soundcloud made a mistake when it lost track of its strengths,” says Tyrese Johnson, the operations manager of popular Bay Area rap blog Thizzler.com. “I think what they should’ve been doing is finding ways to cultivate the independent artists they already have there and finding ways to get them paid as opposed to trying to go to war with Spotify and Apple Music. It’s not their lane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the news broke about SoundCloud’s lack of funding, artists have been warning each other to back up their catalogues and upload them to other platforms such as YouTube. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/google-mulling-soundcloud-buyout-say-whispers-sony-universals-stakes-revealed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some industry insiders speculate\u003c/a> that it’s unlikely that SoundCloud will disappear off the web completely, anticipating a corporate buyout. In either case, the platform’s poor financial standing and declining listenership raises important questions about what will happen when the defining music platform of this decade loses its relevance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Artists] need to take advantage of the changing market,” says Oakland rapper Beejus. “If you’re not putting yourself in a position where you’re able to own your rights where you can upload your music to streaming sites [like Spotify,] which I think will be the next step of this, then you need to reevaluate what you’re doing and kind of step it up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13741653\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-1020x1020.jpg\" alt=\"DJ Neto is among those who draw a parallel between SoundCloud and MySpace.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13741653\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-800x800.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-768x768.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-960x960.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-240x240.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-375x375.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-520x520.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez-150x150.jpg 150w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/dj-neto-by-chris-sanchez.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">DJ Neto is among those who draw a parallel between SoundCloud and MySpace. \u003ccite>(Chris Sanchez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, other artists question what will happen to the myriad DIY music subcultures on SoundCloud if the platform fails to retain its listeners. Oakland DJ Albert Luera, aka DJ Neto, compares the SoundCloud phenomenon to what happened to MySpace in the late 2000s, when the social network lost most of its users after becoming flooded with ads. As a result, many of the music subcultures that flourished on MySpace — such as the “bloghouse” electronic scene adjacent to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records or the Bay Area’s hyphy movement — faded into obscurity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luera described his recent experience of poring over obscure MySpace profiles to find old hyphy songs he remembered from a decade ago. “If the loss of MySpace is any indication about how the loss of SoundCloud is gonna go, it was impossible to find those songs in any sort of quality. It was like googling lyrics and trying to find some message board that was gonna have it,” he says, adding that he fears that much of the music on SoundCloud will similarly be lost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sela Oner, a Vallejo producer who once compiled several volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forgotten 2000s Chicago footwork music by scouring the remains of MySpace\u003c/a>, says that the potential demise of SoundCloud might not be such a bad thing. In his view, some artists have gotten too stuck in the “SoundCloud rap” formula. “It’s affected music a lot, that’s why things sounds the same. So if SoundCloud dies, I think we kind of need that refresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is always changing, the way we consume media is always changing,” says Thizzler’s Tyrese Johnson. “If SoundCloud were to die today, it would suck, but it wouldn’t be the end.”\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_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium 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",

But according to the TechCrunch report that broke the news about the company’s recent layoffs, SoundCloud’s number of listeners is said to have fallen from 175 million to somewhere near 70 million over the past three years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Soundcloud made a mistake when it lost track of its strengths,” says Tyrese Johnson, the operations manager of popular Bay Area rap blog Thizzler.com. “I think what they should’ve been doing is finding ways to cultivate the independent artists they already have there and finding ways to get them paid as opposed to trying to go to war with Spotify and Apple Music. It’s not their lane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the news broke about SoundCloud’s lack of funding, artists have been warning each other to back up their catalogues and upload them to other platforms such as YouTube.

Oakland DJ Albert Luera, aka DJ Neto, compares the SoundCloud phenomenon to what happened to MySpace in the late 2000s, when the social network lost most of its users after becoming flooded with ads. As a result, many of the music subcultures that flourished on MySpace — such as the “bloghouse” electronic scene adjacent to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records or the Bay Area’s hyphy movement — faded into obscurity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luera described his recent experience of poring over obscure MySpace profiles to find old hyphy songs he remembered from a decade ago. “If the loss of MySpace is any indication about how the loss of SoundCloud is gonna go, it was impossible to find those songs in any sort of quality. It was like googling lyrics and trying to find some message board that was gonna have it,” he says, adding that he fears that much of the music on SoundCloud will similarly be lost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sela Oner, a Vallejo producer who once compiled several volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/644-footworks-forgotten-archives-are-making-the-best-compilations-youve-never-heard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forgotten 2000s Chicago footwork music by scouring the remains of MySpace\u003c/a>, says that the potential demise of SoundCloud might not be such a bad thing. In his view, some artists have gotten too stuck in the “SoundCloud rap” formula. “It’s affected music a lot, that’s why things sounds the same. So if SoundCloud dies, I think we kind of need that refresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is always changing, the way we consume media is always changing,” says Thizzler’s Tyrese Johnson. “If SoundCloud were to die today, it would suck, but it wouldn’t be the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Since the project was workshopped at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 2015 and 2016, SF Opera has come around, and will be producing the work in its 2019-2020 season.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bates revels in the complexity and emotionality of his subject. “His actual life is the stuff of opera,” Bates says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opera careens backward and forward between episodes in Jobs’ life. In one scene he’s launching the iPhone at MacWorld 2007. Then it’s 1974 and he’s dropping acid in an orchard with his girlfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work also weaves together intricate theme tunes for each individual character.

The polarized sides need to come together. We need to talk. We need to have real conversations. I am all for that. These articles are all about that,” she said, as the crowd laughed. “And I agree. Just because you voted for Trump doesn’t mean you’re a racist, You might also be a sexist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abigail Mills, a student in the audience, often feels the political divide in her own family.

But it wasn’t heavy-handed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But come January, that shifted. She wanted to make an impact with her work. Get people to wake up a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Politics are just dominating everything,” she says. “It’s hard not to write about Donald Trump and what’s happening. It's my only option. It's all I think about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaefer, based in Los Angeles, is known for observational comedy. She talks about personal experience, embarrassing moments, what she sees on TV. But now she’s also pondering alternative facts and the “post-truth” world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sean Spicer apparently has had this long-waged war with Dippin' Dots,” she said. “These are the people in charge. How can you not make fun of this stuff?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t come without trepidation. Schaefer calls herself a liberal feminist. She knows she may not always share the same views as her audience, especially while touring small towns in the Midwest. And entertaining that audience is priority number one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to find a way to talk about that stuff that doesn’t make people stop listening or think that I’m getting up there wagging my finger at them,” she says. “I think that doesn’t really work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s trying out her new material with a very specific audience, one she thinks is really pivotal in this moment in time: college students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're going to be a big, powerful block of change,\" says Schaefer. \"If they equip themselves, they can potentially save us from some of this craziness that we're in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first few months of Trump’s presidency, she left her safe liberal haven of Los Angeles for universities big and small in Wisconsin, Maine and Minnesota, to name a few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a chance to feel out this new material and find a way to get people to listen -- regardless of their politics -- and not be turned off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a performance earlier this year in Minneapolis, Schaefer tested out a new joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing I’ve also noticed is that there’s been a plethora of articles about Trump voters,” she started out. “We need to understand their feelings, their hopes, their special, special needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, a moment later, the punch line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I 100 percent think, like face-to-face contact, like kissing and licking and things like that, empathy are all the ways that we're going to get through this mess. The polarized sides need to come together. We need to talk. We need to have real conversations. I am all for that. These articles are all about that,” she said, as the crowd laughed. “And I agree. Just because you voted for Trump doesn’t mean you’re a racist, You might also be a sexist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abigail Mills, a student in the audience, often feels the political divide in her own family. They're conservative and she’s a liberal lesbian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, joking about those issues, it helps cut the tension for me,” she said, with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
