“I don’t think there’s a torch to pass,” he says. “There definitely wasn’t anyone passing me any torch. Things just happen.”

As he prepares for take-off (barring interference from the field trip of fourth-graders), he’s holding no grudge. “This is a beautiful town. I think if people could get out of whatever little rut they convince themselves is Boston — some people live here for three years and all they know is Allston Rock City — they’d see that there’s a ton of stuff going on in the city that’s just waiting for some people to connect.”

Everybody loves a tidy ending. Episodes of Seinfeld , fireworks finales, a sturdy hem at the base of a pant leg — these things give us faith that the designer knew what he was doing.

THE EVIL DEAF | November 05, 2009
Inside the dusty corner room of a dungeon-like warehouse basement, Karl Giesing dumps out a bag full of pedals, samplers, grimy cables, and homemade synth boxes. Their functionality seems questionable.
