Zohra, Afghanistan's first ever all-female orchestra performed at the #WorldEconomicForum in Davos! Listen to the tunes of defiance!
Car tuning is the modification of a car to optimise it for a different set of performance requirements from those it was originally designed to meet. Most commonly this is higher engine performance and dynamic handling characteristics but cars may also be altered to provide better fuel economy, or smoother response. The goal when tuning is the improvement of a vehicle's overall performance in response to the user's needs. Often, tuning is done at the expense of emissions performance, component reliability and occupant comfort.
As a culture has grown around modified cars the term tuning has grown to encompass the cosmetic and stylistic changes owners make to personalize their vehicles. These changes can range from functional modifications designed to improve the performance or functionality of the car, to visual modifications which alter the aesthetics of the car and, in the case of certain mods, sometimes be detrimental to the performance or functionality of the car.

the fifth dotmatrix project brought together two greensboro acts, each with little time playing together, yet both with big, unique sounds. project tritium kicked off the evening with james marshall owen dropping his bowie-esque delivery and jagger-esque stage presence over highly composed music and sounds that at times seemed improvised. the raving knaves then took the stage (and our sound engineer) and rocked their set with a variety of kinetic, powerpop tunes. david mclean's hips might still be gyrating. a fine time had by all.
