Big Ears showcases, celebrates avant-garde talent DJ Rupture performing at The Standard on Saturday night.
Megan Patterson Managing Editor No matter the music festival you attend, the line up is always going to be daunting. Who to go see, when to take breaks and how to fit everything in is an impossible, wonderful dilemma, and Big Ears failed to be an exception to that rule. I did my best, however, to catch all the different aspects of what does make Big Ears exceptional. Friday, March 24 I began my festival experience a day late with nief-norf, a contemporary music collaboration based in Knoxville that centers around percussion-based experimentation. Going in with this expectation, niefnorf met my expectations. I was skeptical when I saw a full stage set up and only one man standing on it. But, he proved that one man with a snare drum can make you experience Orion’s Belt during his performance of “Constellations.” While the music was enthralling, it was difficult to focus with the sound of clanging dishes and voices in the background. The Square Room is an okay venue for other musical acts, but when the performance relies so heavily on subtle shifts in dynamics and intricate melodies, its location behind Cafe 4 becomes a huge problem.

Next, I traveled to the Knoxville Museum of Art for a performance by the UT Electro Acoustic Ensemble. This group of students improvises using acoustic instruments and electronic equipment. The location of the KMA allowed the group to create a very active, multifaceted performance. Musicians flowed from the large hall at the back of the museum up into the exhibit rooms on the first floor and back. The instruments pair in each room seemed to correspond with the artwork, and the combination of auditory and visual stimuli enhanced each other. One of the more interesting aspects of the performance was the variety of objects used as “instruments” and even how the instruments themselves were used by the musicians. One man stood with only a microphone and gave the most literal example of using his voice as an instrument that I have ever seen. And, toward the end of the performance, the musicians one by one tossed their keys onto the ground in front of them to add to the cacophony of sounds winding down in the hall. Next I switched gears and headed to Jackson Terminal for the second segment of the poetry slam competition underway. This was one of my favorite parts of last year’s festival, so my hopes were high for the performance. See BIG EARS on Page 2

BIG EARS continued from Page 1 It began by showcasing three younger poets who were clearly the protégés of the more established slam poets in the audience. All three took the stage like professionals, but the performance that really stood out was a piece a girl and guy did together about how they met on Tinder. They addressed the antiquated issue of mixed-race relationships through the common experience of a modern dating site. The rest of the night’s performers all brought their own style, but the crowd lacked the energy I remembered from last year. It had decreased in number but also in enthusiasm. To end the night, I headed to what was the main draw for many attendees of this year’s festival — Wilco’s performance at the Tennessee Theatre. Wilco undeniably put on a good show, with two hours of music and two encores. The experienced band knew their audience and sprinkled in the right amount of interaction, such as when Jeff Tweedy tipped his hat to the crowd to elicit a collective scream after the line, “What was I thinking when you said hello” in “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart.” And, of course, the band’s performance of “Art of Almost” drew a standing ovation from many in the crowd. What made the performance, however, was the lighting and stage set. The band opened in the woods at twilight, encased in an elaborate forest of trees barely illuminated by the lights. Then, suddenly, daylight broke and the backdrop projection of a clouded sky shone behind the band. The variation in lighting on the trees and in the sky throughout the show gave each song and moment a unique mood and provided an ethereal, dreamscape atmosphere for the audience. Saturday, March 25 I started off Saturday with Horse Lords at The Standard, and this four-piece jam band had me wanting more cowbell by the end of their set. With their two drum sets forming the foundation for each piece, Horse Lords mastered repeating measures with slight variations each time to make each song feel like a perpetual crescendo. After a brief break, to take advantage of Sweet P’s catering at the Big Ears headquarters in Jackson Terminal, I headed to the Mill & Mine for Steve Lehman and Sélébéyone. I arrived a little before 8 p.m. eager to see this collaborative album performance by Lehman, a world renowned saxophonist, and two rappers Gaston Bandimic and HPrizm. However, I ended up waiting until nearly 9 p.m. for the performance to start. I didn’t seem alone in my confusion while myself and other audience members watched the musicians go through what felt like inter-

I think this is turning a lot of people onto Knoxville and all that we have to offer. Big Ears is great for us, and Knoxville is great for Big Ears.”
minable sound checks. As we waited in an area roped off about 50 feet from the stage, a man to my right lamented rushing through his dinner, saying, “I choked down salmon for this.” By the time the performance began, ready skepticism had replaced my earlier eagerness, and I was prepared to be the toughest critic. Fortunately, Sélébéyone proved me wrong, and I quickly realized why many were calling their self-titled album one of the best of 2016. The musician’s fusion of jazz and hip hop alongside electronica and dance music sounded unlike anything I had ever heard. Bandimic and HPrizm each brought their own sound and the two complemented each other along with Lehman’s saxophone. The much more driving, harsh passion of Bandimic’s Sengalese rhymes were off set by HPrizm’s more fluid, melodic tone. I very reluctantly left before the performance had concluded in order to catch Henry Grimes at the Bijou. Grimes’ performance was what you might expect from a man decades into his jazz career. He played with a stoic, unbroken concentration and, with his band, created an easy melding of sounds. Between the cello, drums, flute and Grimes’ standing bass, the quartet composed a series of primal, raw pieces that made you feel like Grimes had discovered music’s ancestral soul and the bass was its heartbeat. They received a standing ovation, and I headed back toward Old City. On my way, I encountered two surprises: a film projected outside of Mast General Store showing cityscapes, a shifting night sky and the flurry of a dressing room all accompanied by live musicians and Mayor Madeline Rogero. Rogero was on her way to watch the film projection and said that her favorite performances so far were Wilco and My Brightest Diamond. She emphasized the importance of expanding the festival’s local range and said that “it keeps getter better.” “This one guy said to us, ‘You know people are really nice here. I mean really, really nice here,’” Rogero said. “I think this is turning a lot of people onto Knoxville and all that we have to offer. Big Ears is great for us, and Knoxville is great for Big Ears.” DJ/Rupture’s performance at The Standard hosted more big names, including Ashley
Madeline Rogero, mayor Capps, in the audience. Although it didn’t start till after midnight, the DJ’s mix of club beats kept the crowd’s energy high while they danced. Deerhoof’s appearance at the Mill & Mine, however, was the highlight of the night. This San Francisco group stepped onto a stage with very minimalist equipment and no set, but they used every inch of the space during their full-body energy performance, leaping, spinning and head banging across the stage. Although they have been around since the mid-‘90s, Deerhoof was clearly a band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. The band members were visibly having the time of their lives on stage and their enthusiasm brought the audience up to their level. About halfway through the show, lead vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki led the crowd in a “midnight exercise,” asking the audience to raise their hands and mimic her movements as she shouted out “right, left, right,” “freeze” and “scream.” Deerhoof’s energized show was the perfect conclusion to the night. Sunday, March 26 I ended my Big Ears experience with the second half of The Magnetic Fields’ album “50 Song Memoir,” an album composed by founder and lead vocalist Stephin Merritt that chronicles each year of his life. Since I caught the second half, Merritt took myself and the rest of the audience through the ‘90s and into the 21st century through the perspective of a cynical musician. The Magnetic Fields’ performance felt like a story-telling session set to music and illustrated by film. Merritt laid out the details of his life with candid humor and a self-deprecating bass from a stool set within a bedroom. His band members surrounded this set in a semicircle and a screen hung above the stage to display animations, footage, images or text to visually present Merritt’s stories. Between 35 cent bagels, multiple heartbreaks and poverty in New York City, Merritt sang about the tragic life of an artist in an increasingly reflective way throughout the album. He ended the performance on a light note again with a song proclaiming “everyone is someone’s fetish” and that he has found love once again. Overall, The Magnetic Fields’ performance captured everything that Big Ears hoped to present: original music, compelling visuals and an artistic mind.

Beacon Beats James Blunt - “The Afterlove” Anticipation: 2.5/5 I didn’t really know much about Blunt other than his popular songs “You’re Beautiful” and “Bonfire Heart,” but, judging by the title of the album, “The Afterlove” seemed to have the same theme. I expected folksy love songs and maybe a top 40 song in the mix.
During: 3/5 Spring is in the air, and “The Afterlove” could not have come at a better time. The laid back sounds of the album are perfect for listening while laying in the grass between classes. Most of the songs sound like modern electronic pop, yet listeners will also find a few slow ballads. Throughout the album, Blunt chronicles the ups and downs of a relationship and ends with his final song, “Over.” The artist is no stranger to this theme as seen in his last four works.
After: 3/5 The tracklist is full of beautiful melodies, but they are also expected and basic. “The Afterlove” does not offer many new or noteworthy ideas; however, I would still recommend giving it a listen.
mansionz - “Mansionz” Anticipation: 4/5 mansionz has been making waves on social media recently. The group, composed of underground rapper blackbear and top-40 pop artist Mike Posner, seem like an unlikely duo, but the two have been longtime friends. After they both sported green at the Grammys, I became interested and have been anxious for their collaboration.
During: 5/5 The self-titled album offers many unexpected surprises like features from Dennis Rodman, G-Eazy and Snoozegod. The songs vary from pop inspired to a sixminute monologue then ends in a story about a modern troubadour. Somehow, mansionz blends their two individual sounds into a cohesive, jam-packed album.
After: 4.5/5 The originality of mansionz is promising. I’ll definitely be watching and waiting for future releases, and so should you.

Trey Songz - “Tremaine the Album” Anticipation: 3/5 “Tremaine the Album” has been two years in the making, so I set the bar high. I felt confident that Trey Songz, the author of several reliable middle school throwbacks, would deliver again.
During: 4.5/5 The 15 tracks feature upbeat tunes, his signature R&B sound and everything in-between. There are sure to be several hits from “Tremaine the Album.” However, this album is very different from his past six solo works. Stepping back from his “Trigga” personality, Songz channels a more mature Tremaine. The songs are much more personal and have a sultry tone. Lyrics on the track “Playboy” show that he has grown up. “Don’t know why I’m still/ still kissing girls that I don’t love/Still stumbling out these clubs/ Okay that’s enough child’s play/I think it’s time to settle down,” Songz sings.
After: 5/5 Despite the seriousness of Tremaine, fans can still enjoy a few party tracks. Overall, “Tremaine the Album” is a great work and well worth the wait. Plus, I loved hearing some fresh music from the teenage heartthrob who seemed to grow up just like his listeners.
Love…family…your life… What would you sacrifice to get to the top? In a world of the “Supermom” and a shattering glass ceiling, this feminist play considers the conflicts that come with the pursuit of success and the desire to “have it all.”

Japanese lecturer discusses science, technology innovation in Japan Libby Dayhuff Staff Writer Michinari Hamaguchi, president of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), gave a lecture titled, “JST as a Innovation Navigator,� to discuss the purpose of his agency on Thursday, March 23, at the Baker Center. Hamaguchi explained the functions of JST, discussed the advancements it has made in the fields of science and technology in Japan and revealed how it interacts with the Japanese public. The lecture was the latest in the Baker Center’s Memorial Lecture series, and it was established after former Sen. Howard Baker, Jr. served as an ambassador to Japan. According to Hamaguchi, JST’s main focus
now is to propose solutions to pollution issues Japan faces and other environmental concerns. “Japan is facing many problems. We need innovation. We need change,� Hamaguchi said. Hamaguchi also discussed how the networkbased research institute has collaborated with the government, universities and industries of Japan. Along with its country’s own institutions, JST also partners with other organizations around the world. The agency even collaborated with UT on a project. “His plans to collaborate more with the United States are interesting,� Alex Sosnowski, freshman in political science, said. “It’s very exciting, and I can’t (wait) to see what happens.� Hamaguchi stressed that he believes collaborating and making connections with other international institutions are crucial to the agency’s goal of promoting science and technology.
“If we can’t collaborate, we can’t come up with ideas and innovate,� Hamaguchi said. Since the JST’s formation, these collaborations have produced products such as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and blue LEDs, which have both won Nobel Prizes. JST also collaborates on projects that deal with sustainability, energy and bio-resources. Through its advancements in science and technology, the agency has found ways to preserve important cultural pieces of Japan. They are attempting to clone artwork and have already successfully cloned paintings such as the Bamiyan wall paintings. “This was an innovative way to preserve our heritage,� Hamaguchi said. Although the institution has made innovative contributions in Japan, the agency also struggles with negative public perception. In some areas
of Japan, many distrust scientists and the development of science and technology. Hamaguchi mainly attributes this to the natural disasters that have affected many Japanese citizens. Because of this, JST is attempting to improve the public’s opinion, and Hamaguchi said one way to achieve this is by creating educational programs in Japanese high schools. “(Hamaguchi’s) point about how scientists are often perceived badly in Japan was a highlight of the lecture,� graduate student Roque Santos said. “It was a good point because scientists are very influential, and communication with people is important.� The lecture ended with an audience Q&A session. To show appreciation, Hamaguchi was presented with a framed photograph taken by Howard Baker, Jr. while he was in Japan.

Vols break out the brooms, sweep Ole Miss in three-game series Taylor Crombie Staff Writer No. 19 Tennessee swept No. 23 Ole Miss at home with a 4-1 win in Sunday’s series finale, improving to 6-3 in SEC play. Senior Megan Geer hit her third home run of the year in the bottom of the sixth inning to drive in two runs and give the Vols a 4-0 lead heading into the seventh inning. Tennessee was both scoreless and hitless until the third inning when junior Meghan Gregg hit a double to the right field corner with two outs. Sophomore Brooke Vines followed up with a single down the middle that allowed Gregg to score and put the Volunteers up 1-0. The Vols faced Kaitlin Lee, an Ole Miss player, Friday night but struggled against her through most of Sunday’s game. Tennessee cohead coach Karen Weekly attributed the limited offensive production to Lee’s ability to change up the speed of her pitches and the fighting spirit that Ole Miss showed on Sunday. “We were not going to leave Arkansas without a victory, and (Ole Miss) came out with the
same attitude today,” Karen Weekly said. “They were going to fight, scratch and claw to come out of here with a win … I’m so proud of our kids the way that they battled that mentality, and we fought and got that victory.” Sophomore Matty Moss started the game for Tennessee but was replaced midway through the third inning by freshman Caylan Arnold. Moss threw 2.2 scoreless innings but got into some trouble in the third. Arnold was tasked with getting the final out of the inning with runners on first and third. She was able to get Sarah Van Schaik, the first batter she faced, to ground out to first base. “What happened today was Matty’s velocity was down considerably when the game started, so we saw that and we saw that they were getting the barrel on the ball,” Weekly said. “We decided to make that change because it just didn’t seem like she was going to be able to get the missed hits and keep them off balance like she had earlier in the series.” Arnold finished out the game and limited the Rebels to two hits with two strikeouts. Ole Miss had a bases loaded opportunity with two outs in the fifth inning thanks to two
walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch, but Arnold came in clutch and struck out pinch hitter Alyssa Gonzalez to keep the Rebels scoreless. Situations like that, while less than ideal in a close game, are what Arnold said she lives for. “I really love high pressure situations,” Arnold said. “I think it makes the game more fun and more interesting. I wanted to beat that hitter … so I just went out there, focused each pitch, tried to do the best that I can and win that.” The Rebels were able to score in the top of the seventh inning. Arnold gave up a leadoff single to Kylan Becker, who scored on a double by Elantra Cox two batters later. Cox was tagged out third, then Kaylee Horton popped out to end the game. Late inning rallies won all three games this weekend for the Vols. They scored seven runs in the fifth inning on Friday night in their 8-0 runrule victory, then scored four in the fifth inning Saturday night to ultimately win 6-1. The home stand continues Tuesday, March 28, with a doubleheader against Liberty. The first game starts at 4 p.m., and the second is slated for 6:30 p.m.

Hammond delivers, Tennessee bests Ole Miss Rebels Tyler Wombles Copy Editor
It all came down to Sadie Hammond. With Tennessee tied to Ole Miss 3-3 on Sunday and her match the deciding factor, the sophomore was locked in a singles battle with the Rebels’ Zalina Khairudinova. The two had already played two sets, and Hammond was up 6-5 on her opponent. As her team cheered her on during the match point, Hammond watched as Khairudinova returned a shot out to her right. Hammond flipped her racket in celebration as her team rushed to the court to celebrate Hammond’s 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 win and Tennessee’s 4-3 overall victory. “I looked over to (my teammates), to the scoreboard … I knew that we had to get it,” Hammond said. “I knew that I needed to play well and execute and every time I looked over to them after a point I was like, ‘I need to do it for them.’” Senior Brittany Lindl praised the perseverance of Hammond. “The fight on Sadie’s court was unbelievable,” Lindl said. “It was tight there for a minute, and she just gritted it out to the utmost degree. It was incredible. It was just awesome to watch.” Doubles play started on the outdoor courts but was moved inside due to rain. Tennessee won the doubles point after
Hammond and redshirt freshman Gabby Schuck won their match 7-6 (9) on Court 2 and freshmen Ariadna Riley and Johanna Silva found victory in theirs, 6-4, on Court 3. Seniors Lindl and Eve Repic were defeated in doubles 7-5 on Court 1. Lindl bested Arianne Hartono 6-3, 6-3 in singles on Court 1 to give the Volunteers an early 2-0 advantage. On Court 5, Silva fell to Tea Jandric 6-2, 6-2 to put the Rebels on the board 2-1. Repic then won her singles match 6-3, 7-6 (1) over Natalie Suk on Court 2 to give Tennessee a 3-1 lead. Riley was bested by Anna Vrbenska 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 to make the score 3-2. The contest was tied after Tennessee sophomore Kim Kermet was defeated by Alexa Bortles 7-5, 7-6 (2), but Hammond’s win sealed the close victory for the Volunteers. It was an impressive bounce back performance for the team after being shut out 4-0 on Friday against Mississippi State. “We had a really good practice yesterday, and then the girls came out here today and just fought,” head coach Alison Ojeda said. “Regardless of the level of tennis on every court, the energy was just fantastic. The intensity was fantastic. The excitement was there. The team was just together.” Sunday’s contest put the Volunteers at 15-7 on the season and 2-6 in conference play as Ojeda’s first season as head coach winds down. The

Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon team is 10-3 overall at home, 2-4 when playing away and 2-0 at a neutral site. With only five matchups left on the schedule, Lindl believes that the team must continue to play strong in order to finish the season the way they would like. “We can just keep putting in the work every day as a team,” Lindl said. “We talked about focusing on the details and being accountable after the Mississippi State match, and that’s
something that we all need to continue to do at practice. “But, ultimately, just going out there and fighting every match and not giving away free points is the best thing that we can all do to ensure the team has good success down the last stretch of the road.” Tennessee will host Georgia on Saturday. The Bulldogs are 13-3 on the year with a 7-1 conference record.
