Tony Oursler’s Synesthesia project features interviews with twelve legendary figures in the downtown music, performance and art scenes: John Cale, Thurston Moore, Dan Graham, Genesis P-Orridge, Kim Gordon, Glenn Branca, Laurie Anderson, Tony Conrad, David Byrne, Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, and Arto Lindsay. These works were originally included as one element of Oursler and Mike Kelley’s multimedia installation The Poetics Project. These conversations reveal fascinating insights and anecdotes from some of the most influential figures in the experimental rock and art underground of the 1970s and ’80s, from pre-punk innovators to post-punk icons, from industrial and avant-garde music to noise bands and No Wave

I’ve never heard Gen be this forthcoming in an interview.  It’s rather striking.  I’m always intrigued by what he has to say, but I generally feel like he’s making it up as he goes.  I don’t feel that way here.
