Description

Thurston Moore's Sonic Life A Memoir is a candid and spirited account of his life lived through art and music. Born into rock 'n' roll in the early 1960s, Moore's journey took him to the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave, where he eventually formed the experimental rock group Sonic Youth. Through his story, Moore recounts his encounters with a constellation of artists and musicians who shaped the sound of modern alternative rock music. Alongside figures from the art world, including Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Gerhard Richter, Moore's experiences with Velvet Underground, Stooges, Patti Smith, Television, Sex Pistols, Clash, Nirvana, Hole, Beastie Boys, and Neil Young are woven into a narrative that explores the intersection of art and music. This memoir is a testament to Moore's life as a true artist and mutineer, offering a unique perspective on the lost golden age of alternative rock.
