Biographie de l'auteur
Nick Soulsby is a fairly everyday bloke who hopes to stay that way while never turning the things he loves doing like writing into things he must do to earn a daily crust. Nick s is the author of four books.
Three of his books are focused on the band Nirvana; the first, Dark Slivers, is a dissection of the 1992 Incesticide compilation, the second, I Found My Friends, (St Martin s Press, 2015), is an oral history built entirely from the memories of 150+ of the bands who played alongside Nirvana 1987-1994, the third (and likely final), Cobain on Cobain (Omnibus Press, 2016) is a collection of interviews with Kurt Cobain and the band Nirvana across the years 1989-1994 following the band as they experience their wild ride and tell it in the moment, as it occurred.
His latest book, We Sing a New Language: the Oral Discography of Thurston Moore, (Omnibus Press, 2016) paints a picture of the lives, scenes and sounds that have risen and fallen away over the course of Moore s 3 ½ decades in music through the memories of 160 musicians, producers and record label owners who played a part in the works he has created. In 2014 Nick collaborated with Soul Jazz Records to curate No Seattle: Forgotten Sounds of the North West Grunge Era 1986-97, a release of little known and never before seen bands from the State of Washington s heyday. He also wrote the liner notes to the reissue of The Fire Ants sole 1993 EP release Stripped.
Présentation de l'éditeur
We Sing A New Language is the first definitive account of Thurston Moore's work across many hundreds of collaborations, solo recordings and guest appearences. His long tenure in Sonic Youth might speak for itself, but in this book Moore's friends and colleagues speak revealingly for his other achievements, bringing together a wide variety of creative enterprises whose unifying thread is nothing more or less than Thurston Moore's passionate devotion to music. Celebrating everything from Fluxus, through acoustic guitar and black metal to noise and improvisation, his has been a career that defies easy summary but rewards careful exploration...
Spanning 1978 to the present day, Nick Soulsby's book takes the reader inside the creative process, capturing each key shift and development in Moore's work from his time with Glenn Branca's seminal guitar orchestras to his wholehearted embrace of free jazz and improvisational music in the mid-nineties.
The polar opposite of the rock star who becomes a calcified monument to what made him famous when young, Thurston Moore has retained the genuine youthfulness of the ever-inquisitive artist.
Keen to experiment, willing to relinquish control and unafraid to take chances, he has allowed himself to remain creative and innovative. It's a unique achievement and one that finds worthy celebration in We Sing A New Language.
