Guitarist Nels Cline on His Musical Lineage
Creativity can take many forms-fusion, fission, abstraction, refraction, confrontation-but it always starts with something. Music, for example, even when it seems to transcend genre and time period, is rooted in (or responding to) the experience of its composers and performers.
In this interview excerpt, guitarist Nels Cline explains why he found the idea of a musical lineage “troubling” in his early musical life and which traditions eventually informed his “between the cracks” aesthetic.

    Question! How is this opportunity open to people that are not popular, not an Ivy League or expensive art student at a private school/ university, or someone famous in his connected field? Its plenty of us that have been seeking this Museums are not open to it at all. I can think of lots of artist that can tell you major institutions to small private and public galleries & institutions NOT open to dance as an exhibit. Did the choreographer obtain a grant after the Curator found him....are they network acquaintances? How did he find the opportunity?

    Extremely interesting. I have been in awe of Allegra Kent since I first saw her on stage. I wish there were videos of everything she did. Her dancing in Symphony in C is transcendental. Her dancing in Ivesiana was groundbreaking.

  • @jochenstossberg5427
    @jochenstossberg5427 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I hope her sets for the new production of Sweeny Todd resemble London as it was during the time it's set, and not a contemporary rethink, ' to suit contemporary audiences'. That phrase always stops me buying a seat.
