Our longtime friend of the Strange Attractors Festivals has returned to speak to our music and intermedia classes, and to work with students on their individual and group composition and improvisation projects. Johnny Rodriguez’s Residency was made possible in part with funds from Dymaxion Intermedia, an independent experimental intermedia provider. While in Minnesota, he will speak to classes and perform at Metropolitan State and Artech Charter School of Arts and Technology in Northfield, Minnesota.
