Description
'An icon of New York's downtown music scene is brought vividly to life in this tapestry of archive and oral history' Guardian
The music of Arthur Russell defies classification. Across a twenty-year career, he created a body of work which ranged from his pioneering compositions as part of the New York avant-garde alongside artists including Philip Glass and Allen Ginsberg, to his genre-expanding disco and art pop productions, to his posthumously released folk songs.
Travels Over Feeling is the result of extensive research by author Richard King, curating the ephemera and documentation found in both Arthur's and other private archives, and consists of hand-written scores, lyrics, photos, letters and drawings. Throughout, King has conducted wide-ranging original interviews with Arthur's collaborators, contemporaries, family and friends.
The resulting book reveals a true picture of one of the most distinctive artists of the last fifty years.
