SONIC LIFE - THURSTON MOORE GEBUNDEN

A study of a life lived in an environment of wild music and endless wonder  Sonic Life is the
long-awaited memoir of iconic American musician and Sonic Youth frontman  Thurston Moore.   A
music-obsessed retrospective  beginning with his childhood epiphany of rock 'n' roll in the
early 1960s into an infatuation with the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave blasting
forth from New York City - where he eventually runs off to join a band in 1978. By 1981 Moore
would form the legendary and notorious experimental rock group Sonic Youth  who proceeded to
record and tour relentlessly for almost 30 years  always progressing  always exploring.  Along
the way we meet a constellation of artists and musicians who colluded and collided with Sonic
Youth including Velvet Underground  Stooges  Patti Smith  Television  Sex Pistols  Clash 
Nirvana  Hole  Beastie Boys  Neil Young and a cavalcade of other musical visionaries  as well
as figures from the art world - Jean Michel Basquiat  Keith Haring and Gerhard Richter.  Simply
put  Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth changed the sound of modern alternative rock music and
opened the minds of a generation of artists to new possibilities within the form. This is
essential reading.
