"The Discipline of Music Making": An Interview with Lisa Pegher
“The lights dim, then darken is the intimate confines of The Cell. A single spotlight glows over a drum set in center stage. One figure emerges from the corner, picks up two drumsticks, and pounds out a jarring thwackk…” Sharon Mizarahi (The Lindy Hopper NYC)
