Tone MadisonConduit: From birdsong to animation with Luke BassuenerA couple weeks ago we wrote about Madison musician Luke Bassuener's latest release under his solo moniker Asumaya, Of Water, Land, & Sky. The album is constructed mostly from field recordings of birds and Wisconsin wetlands, and grew out of a multidisciplinary arts residency of the same name.

Francesca Hong, chef and co-owner of Morris Ramen on King Street, has emerged as a leading voice as restaurants across Wisconsin call on...
