Xperience April 2020 Issue 2Hey folks. This is our first digital-only publication, and so it only makes sense to call it the Pandemic Edition, because without our pesky little friend, this would be so much ink on paper. This is an incredible issue, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed […]
If you know musicians, you might be inclined to think of them as sharks. No, not because of their uncanny ability to smell a good gig in the water from a quarter mile off, but because they have to keep moving. This is probably one of the actual differences between a musician that plays for […]

RRX: We are speaking with former VP of Student Life, and current professor of practice at RPI, Eddie Ade Knowles, and if you went to RPI any time in the last, say, 30 years….. Ade: 42. RRX: 42 years – to some the meaning of like, the universe and everything – also Jackie Robinson’s number. […]
On lonely stretches of road, where the houses are only close enough to let you know you’re in habitable land, he’s been your copilot, the only one you’ve trusted to mess with the music.
