Pilot Issue (000)

Finally our water broke, and we can now announce the arrival of bespoke magazine. Musically we bring you the Chicago phenomenon that is the Andreas Kapsalis Trio, while we feature the rising star Kaneng Lolang... Also, we bring you retrospectives on the short-lived reggae band Black Slate, and walk down memory lane with the late, great Polish writer Bruno Schultz. Also on the literature front, we get intimate with Xiaolu Guo. and well as feature short stories from Simona Florio and N. Quentin Woolf. We have an illustration (see top of the Homepage) from Berlin-based Staffan Larsson and Johnny Karlsson. And our 'man-about-art' goes under the cover of the night at this year's Venice Biennale.
