Tips From the Editor

We are particularly interested in compositions conceived from an “alternative” Gen-X perspective. Just imagine that the North America of 1989 through 1995 never ended, the Spice Girls and the Internet never happened, and Justin Bieber was never even born. Of the Kardashians, we won’t even speak. Copies of Pattern Recognition numbers one through five are available for sale online.
