Art Feynman, the enigmatic pop project of Luke Temple, won acclaim for his 2017 genre-defying debut album Blast Off Through the Wicker. Today, Art Feynman returns with a new track, 'Ideal Drama.' 'It's basically about human extinction and that maybe we have some sort of planned obsolescence as well as a contradictory desire to survive,' says Temple. 'In many ways the devises that allow us to prosper are also our potential downfall.' 'Ideal Drama' premiered today on The 405, who write, 'Squishy synths meet machine-like whirrs, and yet all the imagery of steel does no damage to the inherent life of the track. If I didn't know any better, I would assume that it had two fully functioning lungs, sighing deeply to signal its own existential struggles.'

Harlem Stage will present the world premiere of Stranger on Earth, from OBIE-winning playwright and interdisciplinary performing artist Carl Hancock Rux. The production, which anchors Harlem Stage's The Year of James Baldwincentenary celebration and exemplifies the institution's commitment to honoring artists of color-past, present and future-imagines a chance meeting between James Baldwin and Dinah Washington, two of the era's most iconic African Americans, at a Harlem jazz lounge in 1963. Commissioned and produced by Harlem Stage, Rux draws from Baldwin's landmark essays to create a work that addresses race, identity and the future of a world that both Baldwin and Washington struggled to understand and inhabit. Rux performs Stranger on Earth with vocalist Marcelle Davies Lashley, who interprets Washington's songs, against the backdrop of an arresting video montage by Onome Ekeh.
