Brendan Murray
Over the last decade, Brendan Murray has been one of the most consistently interesting musicians in Boston’s small, but vibrant experimental music scene. His idee fixe is the well-crafted, subtly shifting drone. An exacting and meticulous composer, he has just released his fourth solo CD that is perhaps his powerful (and certainly most personal) work to date. Named Commonwealth after his beloved home state, it consists of a single, epic 49-minute long drone. On Thursday, April 10 Brendan will perform live on RF for the second time.
An article that I wrote on Brendan appears in last week’s Boston Phoenix. In addition, you can read an interview that I did with him prior to his last appearance on the show here.
There is also an interesting recent interview about Commonwealth up on the 23Five website .
