20 Years of New York Bands: Interview with Martin Bisi & Sound and Chaos

The docu Sound and Chaos shows how Martin Bisi and BC Studios basically recorded all your fav albums. Screening at West Germany 4.10.16, don't miss it!

a good Q&A about the BC Studio documentary - from Berlin with love

with stuff about starting the studio with Brian Eno. and working with Swans, Sonic Youth , the Dresden Dolls

[martinbisi]

a fun Q&A with me -from the UK

[martinbisi]

watch Martin Bisi’s new video for “Sin-Love-Hate”

It was directed by White Hills bassist Ego Sensation.

new music video ! ^ above

the last song from Ex Nihilo that i'll do a vid for. It's SIN LOVE HATE, which has usually been the big finale of my live set -  the director is Edie White aka Ego Sensation. And the Stumblebum Brass Band played and performed on it

see it on Brooklyn Vegan (above). this is what i told them:

“I was going to work on the upcoming White Hills record, Stop Mute Defeat. And Ego Sensation, the bass player who’s also a filmmaker, suggested we cross collaborate on something, as I’m always up for visual exploration. The song has the theme from Ex Nihilo that I hadn’t fully elaborated on – that I’m part of a herd of animals, and me, my friends, and the city as a whole act it… As in the lyric “sin, love, hate” – primal stuff. So anthropomorphism would run through the video. Ego wanted me prowling around New York City at night, with the constant herd of cars, and morphing in and out being a wolf as I perform with a cat-monkey brass band – the Stumblebum Brass band who contributed the New Orleans-y brass to the song.”

it was 35yrs to the month of the 1st Brian Eno sessions for On Land. so i gathered a ton of people past and present history, to do ‘live recordings’ of something unique to the event - a hybrid of a recording session and a show. with a live audience (capacity at times)

highlights were semi-reunions of Live Skull, Cop Shoot Cop, also, JG Thirlwell, Dana Schechter (Insect Ark), White Hills, Bob Bert (Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch), Blind Idiot Got, Dan Kaufman (Barbez), Sxip Shirey, Laura Ortman, Paul Wallfisch, Michael Bazini
