Kim Gordon, formerly of Sonic Youth, interviewed Rodney Graham for Bomb Magazine in 2004. The article, recently reposted on their website, finds Gordon and Graham speaking about the role of music and sound in Graham’s work.
Gordon: While most of those artists eventually focused their careers exclusively within a visual realm, letting music influence them subliminally, Graham has always kept the question open: Am I a musician trapped in an artist’s mind or an artist trapped in a musician’s body?
