    What a great interview! I've read and heard many interviews with Rhys over the past 30 years, but this one covers his entire history. He's kind of like the Forrest Gump of Modern Downtown Music... he finds himself in every situation which had a huge influence on experimental music from the mid 1960's-early 1980's. I think the English marxist experimental composer he was thinking of was Cornelius Cardew. Also on the first concert at Yoko Ono's loft.... Terry Jennings performed some of his incredible solo piano music. The music could be categorized as minimal... The dynamics are soft, low, and delicate. It gives the impression of wanting to disappear.... just remarkable works.

    I saw Rhys Chatham & the Din when we played a gig together in an old "gallery" near Tribeca in NYC. I don't even think it was Tribeca yet! It was around 1980. Sonic Youth was also on the bill. Their drummer didn't show up. Rhys had a drummer and someone banging with hammers on steel pipes. Rhys played one note while reading sheet music. I'll never forget it! Fantastic! My band was Screaming Cows. I still have the flyer somewhere 😂❤

    Great interview with a very self deprecating master. HIs solo album on ECM, Ondas with Eddie Gomez and Jon Christensen is gorgeous and must listen work. There is also a crazy duet with Bob Moses with Mike playing synth which is lots of fun! As a fellow percussionist, it would be great to hear you interview Bob Moses who is not only a great dummer, but also a very interesting character. Thanks for all of these interviews and keep up the great work!

    So fascinated to listen to my ex next door neighbour talk of the housing estate we both grew up on, although Andy must be about 8 years older than I, and as he was already starting to get a name for himself with the Helium Kids, it was only ever on the rare occasion that he'd speak to me. One of those occasions, was me sitting on the door step during the summer holidays, rather bored, and Andy appearing with a magnifying glass where he promptly taught me how to pop ants. I doubt he'd remember that but I do. I was in awe as a kid , from listening to him practice through the wall of our adjoining bedrooms, buying Black Sea as the band went from strength to strength while I was serving in the Military to the present day, serving as a teacher of English, Drama and sometimes - art and music. Andy is an inspiration.
