Publication Studio is two. Their thesis is simple: print books on demand when and where they are needed using everyday paper and make them available as e-books. This Portland-based micropublisher has regular outposts in Berkeley, Vancouver BC, Toronto and in the US Midwest. It has popped up in Seattle, LA, NY, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Cologne, Lisbon and Tokyo. It has a growing pantheon of books and a stable of authors. So they have something to celebrate, and do it tonight. At Publication Studio www.publicationstudio.biz 717 SW Ankeny 7PM Free
India is big. With a third the land mass of the US it has about three times the population. So it's not a surprise that it has more than one music tradition. Hindustani in the North and Carnatic music in the South are two distinct threads. Tonight's program combines both. Musicians are Gaurav Majumdar, sitar; Nirmala Rajasekar, veena; T.K. Murugaboopathi, mridangam and Vishal Nagar, tabla. Presented by Kalakendra, whose website is inexplicably only partially working. At the First Congregational Church 1126 SW Park 7:30PM $20
