Muck Interview



Joe Ahearn sits down and speaks with the Icelandic hardcore/punk band Muck. As the winter 2013 Clocktower band in-residence, the group discusses their experience in New York and their music. During the interview, the band plays their newly recorded songs Ferming, Wake Sleep, and an in-studio improvisation. The segment also features songs by Klink, Zewd, and Swirlies, some of Muck's influences.

The five band members featured in this in-studio performance include Ási Thórdarson on drums, Fridrik Helgason as engineer, Indridi Arnar Ingólfsson on guitar and vocals, Karl Torsten Ställborn on guitar, and Loftur Einarsson on bass.

RADIO SERIES

Clocktower Exhibits & Events is home to an archive of interviews with artists, curators, musicians, organizers, and more who have participated in Clocktower exhibitions and events throughout our organization’s history.

Many of the below recordings were documented while Clocktower was in the midst of a transformation. The original name, The Clocktower Gallery, was given to the exhibition, residency, and performance space in TriBeCa, founded by alternative spaces movement pioneer Alanna Heiss in 1972. After 2001, the Clocktower Gallery re-inaugurated its exhibition programming in 2005 as part of MoMA/PS1 and, after 2008, under the auspices of Art International Radio. In 2013, we moved on from our downtown Manhattan location, and have since renamed the organization Clocktower Productions, a title which encompasses our radio, exhibition, and event programming.

For more Clocktower history, listen to The Clocktower Oral History Project, in which such figures as Vito Acconci, Bill Beirne, Colette, Jeffrey Deitch, Mary Heilmann, Jene Highstein, Ann Magnuson, Richard Nonas and Joel Shapiro reflect upon their experiences with this unique New York space. Organized by artist Nancy Hwang for the Fall 2009 AVANT-GUIDE TO NYC: Discovering Absence exhibition at apexart.
