Greg Lisher Discusses Musical Rebirth With The Tonearm

While making Underwater Detection Method, The Tonearm writes, “Greg Lisher found himself in his late fifties becoming a beginner again—taking piano lessons, puzzling through software manuals, allowing himself not to know. This exercise in the ‘beginner’s mind’ created space to explore fascinations dating back to his pre-Camper Van Beethoven days. Yellow Magic Orchestra had planted seeds in the early 1980s that would take four decades to sprout. Musical notation became visual art as he sketched digital MIDI notes across software grids, his guitar-trained fingers now directing virtual instruments he couldn’t yet physically play.” The site has an interesting interview with Lisher, who is known for his work in Monks of Doom as well as his tenure with Camper Van Beethoven.
