   "Some people say music is the answer. But no, music is not the answer. It won’t solve our problems. So what can music do for us? What can we do with music? Wake us from trances of inert hopelessness, blanketed by privileged ignorance? Shift us into a trance where we'll find relief and the strength to transform? Make our voices heard through a howl of unfiltered expression? Help us stay sane by offering dissonance as an antidote to dissonance, and noise to cancel the noise? Give purpose through community, connecting and weaving with a joyful modulation that travels from mind to mind, from body to body?
   We don’t really know. Music is vague terrain. A testing ground."

     @thomkennon No, not my words, just quoting from the linked statement of the CTM curators. It's a really strong festival.
