“A pioneering force behind the evolution of minimalism, violinist and composer Tony Conrad’s performances employ a droning, mesmerizing performance idiom of long durations, amplification, and precise pitch to explore new worlds of sound. In this episode, Conrad performs live on solo violin in celebration of ISSUE Project Room’s 10th anniversary, recorded live in July 2013.

Conrad returns to ISSUE Friday, October 18th 2013, performing solo on a bill that includes the lo-fi analog drones of LA multi-instrumentalist Lee Noble, and a collaborative performance by Damon McMahon aka Amen Dunes and visual artist Tom Thayer.”
