A majestic light sculpture

Browse the beautiful campus of Ball State University at night and at the Sursa Music Hall, one can easily spot the majestic and mesmerizing light sculpture through the front window. Go in and you can get into a sort of trance as you stare at the light bouncing from one piece of glass to another, creating an impressive spectrum across the entire wall. This makes up one of the true gems of Ball State's campus and this picture captures just a small piece of it.

Living With John Coltrane

You walk into the home of one of the most famous figures in Jazz history; A home where creativity echoes through the hallways and all throughout the house. You look on the walls to see photos and see the faces of Davis, Parker, Monk. It’s the home of a man who created a new form of music, during a time of uprising and revolution. This is the home of a man who’s considered a saint because of his death. This is the home of John Coltrane.
