The music of Arthur Russell defies classification. Across a twenty-year career he created a body of work which ranged from his pioneering compositions as part of the New York avant-garde alongside artists including Philip Glass and Allen Ginsberg, to his genre-expanding disco and art pop productions, to his posthumously released folk songs.Richard (The Lark Ascending, How Soon is Now?) discusses his landmark book Travels Over Feeling, in which he has curated the ephemera and documentation found in both Arthur's and other private archives. Additionally, his interviews with Arthur's collaborators, contemporaries, family and friends form a wonderful tribute to one of the most influential musicians of his generation, loved by artists as diverse as Christine and the Queens, Tracey Thorne and Hot Chip.
