Xfest, the experimental envoy of talented and random performers of improvisational music came to Ashuelot, NH, in August hosted by the 32M Center for Creative Work (and its sister organization Golgonooza Letter Foundry across the street). Performances were held both outside and inside, both under the stars (at dusk beneath the flying of the chimney swifts) and inside in the intimate 1st floor workshop space and 3rd floor attic with its original art nouveau patterned wallpaper.
