Food and Music at the North Stage (Borough Hall Plaza) on Sunday, Sept 13th:

3:00 p.m. American Food. Three writers discuss the past, present and future of what we eat. Featuring Mark Kurlansky (editor, The Food of a Younger Land), Jennifer 8. Lee (The Fortune Cookie Chronicles) and Liz Thorpe (The Cheese Chronicles). Moderated by “Serious Eats” blogger Ed Levine.

4:00 p.m. Sound Unbound: DJ Spooky and Toure. That Subliminal Kid (aka Paul D. Miller), the writer and composer whose work Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica will be performed at BAM in December, will discuss the themes raised in his book Sound Unbound—about the concept of the remix in music, art, and literature—with Touré, writer, music journalist and television cultural correspondent.

5:00 p.m. Inside Music. From the Chicago avant garde to audiophile zealots to the New Weird America, three writers from across the musical spectrum explore how the world of music is connected to everything else: politics, ethnicity, technology, topography and culture. Featuring George E. Lewis (A Power Stronger Than Itself), Greg Milner (Perfecting Sound Forever). Moderated by Sukhdev Sandhu (Night Haunts).
