I guess what ties this all together all my musical projects and my life in general is the idea of the quest, that search for new horizons and something unnamable and possibly unreachable, Dylan Carlson says regarding the theme behind his solo album Conquistador. Carlson's musical explorations can be traced back to his pioneering work with the minimalist ensemble Earth from the groundbreaking drone metal of Earth2 to the ominous instrumental twang of Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method. Untethered from the collaborative nature of the band, Carlson veered away from American music and motifs and dug into English folklore and song traditions for his solo work under the moniker of drcarlsonalbion. For his first full-length as the solo artist Dylan Carlson, the guitarist returns west. In many ways, Conquistador harkens back to Hex. There is an analogous timbre, pace, and pentatonic aura between Carlson's latest offering and the classic Earth album. But the reductionist principles that have always driven Carlson's work play an even larger role on Conquistador, with his expansive drones and austere guitar work saturating the sonic field while freed from the lock step of a rhythm section. Conquistador was recorded at God City Studios with Kurt Ballou during a weeklong break in Carlson's solo tour of the East Coast in May 2016. The material had been gestating for several months, and Carlson viewed the session as an opportunity to create music between Earth albums as well as a chance to collaborate with esteemed solo artist Emma Ruth Rundle, who contributed baritone and slide guitar, and his wife Holly Carlson, who contributed percussion and whose picture graces the cover of the album. I view every studio experience as unique, as everything is always different, from gear to people to time and place, Carlson says of the1. Conquistador2. When the Horses Were Shorn of Their Hooves3.

The modern Great Gatsby
Format: Hardcover
It is a very interesting (words) and depressing (reality) book to read. As a former Facebook employee, this book allows me to reflect my time at the company from a new angle, confirming some of the hypothesis I had, and shedding great insights into my experience. Thank you Sarah for sharing her story. We are all in this together.

Riveting, believable, depressing
Format: Kindle
Anyone who studies business recognizes the evolution. At the start, employees are comrades and customer's are wooed. Beyond a certain size, employees become line times and customers become commodities.

Fantastic series by a creative artist
Format: Paperback
Amulet, a graphic novel by Kazu Kibuishi (
,
), is geared towards the 9-12 age group. However, the novel will captivate anyone that begins to read it as they are swept along a moving story with beautiful illustrations.
Our young heroine Emily witnesses the death of her father in the opening pages of this novel. Emily, her mother, and her brother Nevin move into the home of their missing great grandfather. There are secrets lurking within the house, one that soon ensnares Emily's mom. She's dragged from the basement by a tentacle through an open door and Emily and Nevin must go on a rescue mission to another world.
This story captivates the reader from the beginning. The reader is compelled to feel for the characters of the story, from Emily witnessing the death of her father to watching her mom being dragged away by some unknown creature. Although this is only the first part of the series the reader gets a true sense of the characters, their feelings, and their emotions and is left hanging at the end of this book and wanting more.
What really sells the story are the illustrations as they capture and convey the moods of the characters and their surroundings. The drawings have a light airy quality to them, with a simple, but moody, color palette to show off the extensive use of shadows to convey emotions of the character in graphic detail. The reader is never left wanting or wondering what the characters are thinking, the colors clearly display what they feel--the age of the great-grandfather is written into the lines on his face, the fear and courage of Emily as she seeks to save her what's left of her family. As the story progresses a darker palette is used and we are left wanting the lighter colors to return. Something unique about the drawings is that when the story first begins the characters almost look undefined. While we can read their emotions they are merely shapes on a page. However, as the story progresses they gain more depth and emotion.
This novel is a must read. A strong young heroine, with monsters and robots as well, enough to keep any crowd entertained. The moving illustrations and compelling story make this a great read and the book is highly recommended for all ages.

A Magical Start to an Epic Series
Format: Paperback
I read Amulet: The Stonekeeper with my class, and the students couldn’t get enough of it! The artwork is absolutely stunning, and the story grabbed their attention right away. Even reluctant readers were eager to see what happened next. The mix of fantasy, adventure, and relatable characters makes it the perfect series to hook middle-grade readers. As soon as we finished, they were already asking for the next book in the series!
