REVIEW: Konfrontationen, Day 1 - 35th Festival for Free & Improvised Music @ Nickelsdorf, Austria - Andrew Choate {EXCLUSIVE}

People are the best thing about life. I don't know why it took me so long to learn; it's probably because I'm an only child from a small family and have always valued my independence, and a certain kind of solitude. But I realized that people, just simply interacting with people--sharing silliness and profundity and deep sorrow and ecstatic elation--are what truly make living not just tolerable, but redemptive and satisfying, soul-widening. I had that revelation driving back from the Kleylehof on the afternoon of the second day of the festival this year.
