"Trust in Rock", An Interview with "Blue" Gene Tyranny and Peter Gordon by Ned Sublette
42 years after Trust in Rock, we got together in February 2018 to talk about it.
Collection: Peter Gordon
Peter Gordon (born June 20, 1951, New York City) is an American experimental composer and musician.
Gordon earned a BA in composition at University of California, San Diego, where he studied with Kenneth Gaburo and Roger Reynolds; he earned an MFA at the Mills College Center for Contemporary Music, where he studied with Robert Ashley and Terry Riley.
Gordon moved to New York in 1975, where his Love of Life Orchestra first gained attention at downtown venues such as The Kitchen, CBGB, Max’s Kansas City, and the Mudd Club. An early proponent of the recording studio as a compositional tool, Gordon produced recordings for LOLO, as well as Robert Ashley, Arthur Russell, Rhys Chatham, Laurie Anderson, Jill Kroesen, David Van Tieghem, and “Blue” Gene Tyranny. He was music producer for Robert Ashley’s video opera Perfect Lives, as well as the recent Spanish-language version, Vidas Perfectas (presented at The Whitney in 2014.) He has an ongoing collaboration with video artist Kit Fitzgerald, and he has composed four operas.
A composer of scores for theater and dance, he has earned an Obie Award and a Bessie Award.
