WedOnline editor of The Wire magazine Jennifer Lucy Allen talks to composer Phill Niblock.
While often associated with American Minimal Music and its protagonists, such as La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass, Niblock has always remained somewhat off the beaten path, a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant-garde that ventured further into profound reductionism.
For CTM 2014, he performs with microtonal brass ensemble Zinc & Copper Works and avant-garde experimentalist Eli Keszler.
