Phill Niblock (Part 2)
<p>Phill Niblock, the groundbreaking composer of minimalist and experimental music, joins Musicians Speak for the second half of his interview, recorded in 2020. </p><p>The New York Times wrote, “His work has influenced Brian Eno and other musicians associated with the rock world… Pitches scrape against other pitches like a speeding automobile sideswiping a row of parked cars. Sum and difference tones pile up until they sound like an orchestra of strings or an immense chorus of voices. So much is going on that one finds oneself listening first to one level of detail, then to another, and only gradually learning to hear everything at once.” In Part 2 we also listen to two of his compositions, spanning forty years.</p>

Phill Niblock (Part 1)
<p>Intermedia artist Phill Niblock discusses his early years in NY and the beginnings of his art making at Judson Church and the founding of the Experimental Intermedia Foundation by Elaine Summers. Phill discusses his thick, loud drones and microtones as we listen to Feed Corn Ear and Hurdy Hurry. He says, “What I am doing with my music is to produce something without rhythm or melody, by using many microtones that cause movements very, very slowly.”<br></p>

Wadada Leo Smith
<p>Wadada Leo Smith has been in the epicenter of creative music for over 50 years as a composer, trumpet player, educator, and theoretician. From his earliest days with Anthony Braxton to his most recent tours, recordings, and performances with the likes of Vijay Iyer, Bill Laswell, and Milford Graves he has defined a singular path as a creative musician. In addition to being a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Music, he also received the 2016 Doris Duke Artist Award and earned an honorary doctorate from CalArts, where he was also celebrated as Faculty Emeritus.</p><p><br>During the interview, we listen to two newly released CD box sets including Sacred Ceremonies and Trumpet. Additionally, Wadada discusses various aspects of his compositional process, his work during the pandemic, upcoming projects and his tributes to other musicians, social and spiritual leaders.</p><p><br>The New York Times wrote, “…he knows the power of a single musical gesture and cuts a clearing around himself when he plays: He uses open, full, melodic cries, and then grainy, blurry, throttled ones; he plays in recognizable rhythm for a short period or lets his phrases crumble.”</p><p><br>“Before the masses woke, Smith's music had incorporated political, cultural, spiritual, and environmental awareness. The elder statesman of new music continues his prolific output with TUM Records box sets for the first half of 2021.” Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz</p>
