Horse Lords - Live at Sunnyvale June 4 2017

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.

Polymath Tony Conrad is known by many names: composer, filmmaker, video artist, media activist, writer, and educator. Associated with the founding of minimal music and underground film, he is well known for his pivotal role in the formation of the Velvet Underground and as a co-founder The Dream Syndicate— who utilized intonation and sustained sound to produce what the group called "dream music", what we know now as drone. Conrad has composed more than a dozen audio works with special scales and tuning for solo amplified violin with amplified strings. Conrad has played and collaborated with Rhys Chatham, Charlemagne Palestine, Jennifer Walshe, Tony Oursler, Eli Keszler, and many others. In the early 1970s Conrad produced several series of works that severely stretched the limits of “film,” including his cooked and electrocuted films, and the “Yellow Movie” series, and "The Flicker" (1966), which is considered a key early work of the structural film movement. Conrad’s work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, Documenta, Venice Biennale, Tate Modern, LA Museum of Contemporary Art, and many others. He exhibits at Greene Naftali Gallery in New York and Galerie Daniel Buchholz in Berlin and Cologne. Conrad’s early career is the subject of a study by Branden Joseph, Beyond the Dream Syndicate: Tony Conrad and the Arts after Cage (Zone, 2008).

Legendary Michigan trio Wolf Eyes create harsh and hypnotic electronic landscapes, merging the frenzied energy of hardcore with the nihilistic menace of early industrial and noise. This full set was recorded as part of ISSUE Project Room's summer 2013 concert series at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Constantly touring in the early 2000s, Wolf Eyes has forged a cult fan base and opened the hermetic world of the noise underground to a new generation of curious indie rockers, punks, and experimentalists. The band began as a solo project for noise veteran Nate Young, with Aaron Dilloway and John Olson. Dilloway left the band in 2005, and Mike Connolly of Hair Police has rounded out the trio since. The group is rumored to have released over 150 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on labels such as Bulb Records, Troubleman Unlimited, Fusetron, and Sub Pop, as well as on Olson’s American Tapeslabel, Dilloway’s Hanson Records and, most recently, Mike Connelly’s Gods of Tundra label.
