Lawrence English: Capturing The Impossible Trio

Click the play button to listen

Today we're putting The Tonearm's needle on artist, composer, and curator Lawrence English.

Australian composer Lawrence English has spent over two decades treating sound as something that occupies your body, not just your ears. Putting The Tonearm's needle on Lawrence English means entering a sonic world where you're never quite sure what you're hearing or where it's coming from, and if you are a listener like our host, that will suit you just fine.

Lawrence's album Trinity pairs him with Stephen Vitiello and guests like Brendan Canty from Fugazi and Chris Abrahams from The Necks. Each track builds what English calls "impossible trios," turning geographic and other constraints into creative fuel.

Lawrence is here to discuss collaboration, the art of curation, and what it means to make meaningful work in an age drowning in content.
