Don relocated to Santa Cruz in January; as an artist, made some hand-sized art in grad school with pipe cleaners, and his professor urged him to try something larger; that was 2006, & now this is his signature medium; Don's art is in a gallery in downtown Santa Cruz, as well as other galleries around the country (e.g.: Tuscon); moved to New York City after grad school because, "if you want to be in the movies, you move to LA, but if you want to be an artist, you have to go to a city that's big & that supports artists!"; the Money Question? Are you able to make a living as an artist, and if so, how? The answer is Yes! and it's by having his art in enough galleries, but also having his art picked up by people like Lou Reed's guitar player, who asked him to create his album cover; music is another outlet for art, and the Face Urchins have been playing for 25 years; Don got into music by growing up going to the Strawberry Music Festival where he was exposed to lots of great acoustic music and jamming musicians; the Face Urchins are Don and Dave Wave, who is also a teacher, and they will be performing at our local MAH patio a week from tomorrow with bassist Pat Dintino.

An interview on "The Bushwhacker's Breakfast Club" with "Dangerous Dan", "DJ Wrangle" & "DJ Spark Plug", airing Friday mornings on KZSC Santa Cruz, California.

November 25 | The Sponsorship Experts Podcast

Yrsen is a techno artist from Lille, France, known for his precise and razor-sharp sound that blends polyrhythmic structures with intense, textured drum patterns. Drawing from both broken and linear rhythms, his music crafts a mental and uncompromising journey through clinical beats and detailed sonic landscapes. With releases on labels such as Soma, Edit Select and ARTS, Yrsen has gained recognition from influential names in the scene, his tracks regularly finding their way into the sets of leading techno figures. From local clubs to international stages, Yrsen has brought his sharp and immersive vision of techno to diverse audiences worldwide, forging a deep connection through hypnotic grooves and intense, physical energy. Deeply rooted in Lille’s local scene, he has refined his craft through countless all night long sets, developing a surgical mixing style and a sharp sense for the dancefloor. Each performance stands as a testament to his dedication to pushing the limits of techno as a tool for mental immersion and ritualistic energy.

Recorded November 19th, 2025.

The Trinity Long Room Hub was delighted to launch a new seminar series - Bridging the Gap between Policy and Research - exploring how scholarship in the Arts and Humanities can shape and inform public policy for the common good.

The opening seminar, Do the Humanities Actually Matter? Public Policy and the Humanities hears from Peter MacDonagh, a former senior advisor in the Taoiseach’s Office whose career has bridged government and academia, and includes considerable experience in public policy and research in different countries. 

Speaker:
A former senior advisor in the Taoiseach’s Office, Peter MacDonagh has had an unusually broad involvement in public policy development, research funding and participation in pan-EU research programmes. Following studies in history in UCD and Cambridge, he worked for the now Taoiseach Micheál Martin when they developed the foundations for funding research in the Humanities. In government, he was substantially involved in deepening the engagement between academic research and public policy. Subsequently he served on the Board of Science Foundation Ireland, now Research Ireland, and as chairperson of its Grants Awards Committee. He has been involved with a range of large-scale Horizon projects and works on public policy and political research in different European countries.
