Phill Niblock: the late interview

Описание: Michael Schell interviews Phill Niblock (1933–2024) for his 90th birthday. The godfather of drone minimalism, and a beloved concert and record producer in the Downtown New York music community, the discussion covers his early years as a photographer and filmmaker, his backward entry into the new music world, and his approach to drones and microtonality.

This is one of the very last interviews with Phill. He was an incipient nonagenarian when this was recorded, and was finishing a stint at a physical rehabilitation facility in New York, so he's a bit disheveled looking, but remained mentally sharp until the very end of his life, which came three months later, on January 8, 2024. This interview originally aired October 1, 2023 on Flotation Device, 91.3 KBCS-FM Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma (visit https://tinyurl.com/FD0119 to hear the full program).
