It was meant to actually be Black Wednesday - the day the secrecy bill was originally planned for tabling before parliament - tomorrow. But it smacked too much of the original Black Wednesday - October 19, 1977 -when the apartheid regime shut down three independant newspapers, banned a host of civic organizations and arrested countless activists, less than a month after murdering Steve Biko. Today, Biko and those who laid down their their lives for freedom, weep in their graves - too…

Sweetness revealed

I cannot express clearly enough what Bokkie and the Moment in Time do to me. I first heard them play in earnest at the beginning of the year at Love and Revolution in Melville. I was going through a break up at the time and I remember a sweet voice letting these jazz standards escape from Sian Eliots mouth. Like her voice was not a part of her.

The Robot orchestra at Wits was dissappointing.

The idea was that 3 music students compose music which they were being examined on, 2 Interactive Media students and one Electrical Engineer student would build and program robots to play the compositions.

It sounds awesome, especially if you like music and robots.

Stage was set with a number of drums including Timpanis as well as Tubular bells a xylophone and some cymbals. You might gather from those instruments that there…
