Presented as part of the statewide California Festival: A Celebration of New Music, Project [BLANK]’s Composer Spotlight concert features recent chamber works by Laure Hiendl (b.1986, pronouns: they/he). Hiendl’s music is provocative, forward-thinking, and inherently political in the way that it considers the body in relation to music. Their eclectic influences pull from contemporary electronic dance music, taking digital sampling processes and recreating them with acoustic means. Central to the program is In Abeyance (2021), which takes the subtly shifting patterns produced by an electronic phasing sampler and produces them live with a lushly orchestrated chamber ensemble. Additionally, two works for voices and electronics will explore themes of gender, violence, and racial prejudice: 10 Bullets Through One Hole (2018), a challenging work that highlights the quasi-pornographic language used in firearm advertisements; and White Radiance TM (2020), a work for solo voice and instrumental ensemble that pulls its text from Jamaican philosopher and writer Sylvia Wynter’s meditation on Western standards of beauty – contrasting her powerful words with text taken from cosmetic advertisements.

North County’s seaside gem is opening its arms this November to Clique Hospitality’s newest concept, Temaki Bar: Handroll, Sushi, Sake. This Encinitas hotspot celebrates the tradition that all perfect hand rolls should be eaten within seconds of the chef passing it across the counter — while the rice is still warm and the fish still cold. In keeping with tradition, Temaki’s hand rolls are prepared counter-side and made-to-order for guests, highlighting the freshest seafood including blue crab, yellowtail, salmon and more. Helmed by San Diego’s very own James Beard Smart Catch Leader, Chef JoJo Ruiz, Temaki Bar will debut signature rolls and fresh sashimi, alongside an eclectic sake program. Gather your friends and family and stop by to discover your new go-to dinner spot.
