In 1979 Storey founded <strong>Zoviet France</strong> along with Ben Ponton and Peter Jensen and worked together for 12 years until 1992, when he started to work as Rapoon and collaborated with other artists. Apart from being musician, Storey -who lives nearby Newcastle Upon Tyne-, he is a painter and also works on videos doing short films. Rapoon explores vast atmospheres adorned with textures of diverse sources like female singings of the Middle East, Russian folk music, tribal rhythm, sounds that are deconstruct with analog and digital electronics. In 2006, alongside Mark Spybey they started to work again after a long period in a project called The Reformed Faction of Soviet France and promptly renamed Reformed Faction, releasing the album ‘Vota’ [Klanggalerie, 2006]. The more recent releases of Rapoon are ‘From Shadows Sleep’ released on the Brazilian Essence Music imprint; ‘Mental Travellers’ [Indiestate 2006] and ‘Church Road’ [Tantric Harmonies, 2006].

The Lowell Community Health Center Teen Coalition presented, "We Got the Power," a program of "community healing through art." At the 119 Gallery, in a studio about the size of a small classroom, approximately 100 people came together to share original artwork, poetry, dance and spoken presentations on the general themes of peace and youth empowerment. With poems, songs and spoken words, the youth of Lowell presented their definitions of peace, love, courage and unity. The performers' words were heartfelt and sincere, and the audience's cheers were supportive and encouraging. Nobody in the room cared about being first in their class; nobody kept any score; nobody cared about winning or losing. And yet everyone in the room came away a winner. Their messages showed that they understand the realities of violence, loss, weapons and drugs, but they hold onto a positive hope that by working together, the youth of Lowell can create peace and security. One young man closing the show summed it up: "We young people do care." Following recent incidents of violence in Lowell, this program convinced me that the youth of this city want a much better life than the headlines sometimes suggest. It is up to the rest of us to help them reach those goals. ED ROZMIAREK, Headmaster Lowell High School http://www.lowellsun.com/editorials/ci_17280941 The positive power of city’s youth

Recently, I attended an event that made me proud to be working for the youth of Lowell.

The Lowell Community Health Center Teen Coalition presented, “We Got the Power,” a program of “community healing through art.” At the 119 Gallery, in a studio about the size of a small classroom, approximately 100 people came together to share original artwork, poetry, dance and spoken presentations on the general themes of peace and youth empowerment. With poems, songs and spoken words, the youth of Lowell presented their definitions of peace, love, courage and unity.

The performers’ words were heartfelt and sincere, and the audience’s cheers were supportive and encouraging. Nobody in the room cared about being first in their class; nobody kept any score; nobody cared about winning or losing. And yet everyone in the room came away a winner. Their messages showed that they understand the realities of violence, loss, weapons and drugs, but they hold onto a positive hope that by working together, the youth of Lowell can create peace and security. One young man closing the show summed it up: “We young people do care.”

Following recent incidents of violence in Lowell, this program convinced me that the youth of this city want a much better life than the headlines sometimes suggest. It is up to the rest of us to help them reach those goals.
