Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
― David Bowie

Host: Ben Mc Guire
A passionate believer in the ferocious power of story, Ben McGuire is a lawyer, writer, documentary filmmaker, and photographer.
HE IS YET TO FIND A BETTER COMPASS THAN STORY TO HELP US FIND TRUE NORTH AND TO CELEBRATE THE JOYS AND QUIRKS OF LIFE ALONG THE WAY.
Composer, guitarist, flutist Felix Komoll will accompany the storytellers.
Music: Felix Komoll
skillfully navigates the crossroads of improvisation and composed music, drawing inspiration from diverse cultural heritages. His music transcriptions from Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos and adaptions of Prokofiev's violin solo sonata for concert guitar, have been performed by the Babylon Orchestra, among other ensembles. Published by Schell Music, Komoll's compositions traverse jazz, classical, sound installations, new music, and free improvisation. Felix thrives in collaborations which emphasize the universal language of music in its social, narrative, and energetic dimensions. Early exposure to music led Komoll to master piano and guitar, studying under luminaries like Prof. Siegfried Behrend and Carlo Domeniconi. His profound connection to the flute adds another layer to his rich artistic expression.
When he is not in the recording studio, with his bands, or sailing in Greece - he joins us regularly at THE bEAR accompanying the storytellers with his fine feeling for the unsaid between the lines.
