Today's episode is about "Instrument", a 1999 film about the D.C. post-hardcore legends Fugazi, directed by Jem Cohen in collaboration with the band. Check out "Celebrate the Catalog: Fugazi" on treblezine.com Our guest today is Vish Khanna, the host of the Kreative Kontrol podcast. This is a first for Rock Docs...in prep for this episode, and in recognition of the film's 25th anniversary, Vish got Jem Cohen and all four members of Fugazi together for a rare interview on his show. You can listen to that episode here. We over at Rock Docs HQ are thrilled to have played any small part in that momentous event. Nonetheless, we managed to keep it together and have a lively conversation with Vish about the band, his history with them, and this incredible film. Finally, Vish was also nice enough to share his thoughts about his friend, the late Steve Albini, a Rock Docs legend who we never approached about being on the show, to our regret.

And I think my pictures show that. I think my pictures are very intimate and they do get close to something and they are an attempt at getting close, but there's also a lot of fear in them I see, because I know it in myself, and a lot of solitude.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.

Jessica Moss has just released Galaxy Heart, a surprising collection of ten songs that form a companion to last year's Phosphenes. The Montréal-based composer, violinist, and vocalist recorded the material for both records (and more) during the peak of early pandemic lockdown, allowing her songcraft to take new forms, as well as welcoming collaborators into her solo music for the first time. Moss, of course, is a prolific collaborator, and we have been a fan of her work for over two decades, particularly her 15-year tenure with Silver Mt. Zion. In this episode, Moss dives into the making of her two recent solo albums, the highs and lows of pandemic touring, the return of Black Ox Orkestar, and her collaborations with Vic Chesnutt and Jem Cohen.

David Ballantyne of The Vinyl Score returns to make his 2nd appearance of the year to talk about the 1999 Jem Cohen documentary, Instrument, which captures a 10 year snapshot of the band, Fugazi, between 1987 and 1996. Even though the film has live footage, and footage of the band recording, it's not a traditional rock documentary and the soundtrack also subverts those expectations. David and Ryan share about how they first discovered the band and what expectations they had for the documentary upon first viewing. They also talk about the legend of the band, especially of it's frontman, Ian MacKaye.

Dear Docs Till Death-heads, We are writing to let you know how excited we were to discover that Geoff selected Jem Cohen's 1999 experimental film about Fugazi, INSTRUMENT, as our documentary for this week. All of us here at DTD are very familiar with Fugazi's many wonderful records and with arty Fwench New Wave cinema, so we believe that we are the perfect podcast to discuss Cohen's movie. And if we had to identify one weakness, it would probably be that we, as a podcast, care too much about punk and hardcore, and that we sometimes go TOO FAR to do a good job. In any event, we would love to speak more with you about this wonderful opportunity that we just completed. In the meantime, please listen to this very professional episode and subscribe for instant access to future episodes. Additionally, if you can find a "like" button, please smash it like the state! Kind Regards, us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/docstilldeath/message

This week is our inaugural artist takeover show with guest host, Michael Stipe and his friend, Jem Cohen. Michael and Jem open the show talking about the role artists have in politics and activism and how artists want their work to carry on for generations. Fame is great, but infamy is really what an artist strives for. They talk about infamous works of art, like Moby Dick, that they simply haven't read, and notorious movies that Jem honestly wished that he had time to watch. Later, Michael reveals one of his most significant regrets and the greatest compliment he has ever received. Tune in as Jem explains how chance plays a significant role in his work, and Michael gives his advice to Jem.In This Episode:[02:10] The role that artists have in politics and activism. [16:15] How art will carry on for thousands of years. [23:00] Who has really read Moby Dick? [35:20] Michael reveals one of his most significant regrets. [44:00] Jem explains that there’s nothing bigger than chance in his work. [68:10] Michael gives advice to Jem. Key Takeaways:Sometimes it’s beautiful being in a hateful space; every place is part of our world, and there can be beauty in terrible things. We need to keep discovering new artists because we never know how much more joy we could have.The thing about street photography and about documentaries that matters so much is that you can't control it.MICHAEL STIPE:Artist Website: https://michaelstipe.com ; https://www.remhq.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/remhqYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7eaRqtonpyiYw0Pns0Au_gJEM COHEN:Artist Website: https://jemcohenfilms.comVimeo: https://vimeo.com/gravityhill/vod_pages-------------------- LAUNCHLEFT OFFICIAL WEBSITE https://www.launchleft.com LAUNCHLEFT PATREON https://www.patreon.com/LaunchLeft TWITTER https://twitter.com/LaunchLeft INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/launchleft/ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/LaunchLeft --------------------- LaunchLeft is an alliance of left-of-center artists, a label, a podcast, a curation engine.

His book Uproot: Travels in 21st Century Music and Digital Culture was published in 2016 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Recent projects include Sufi Plug Ins, a free suite of music software-as-art, based on non-western conceptions of sound and alternative interfaces; Room 21, an evening-length composition for 20 musicians staged at the Barnes Foundation; and The Julius Eastman Memorial Dinner, a touring performance piece for grand pianos, electronics, and voice.

Jem Cohen has been making films since the 1980s, from legendary short shorts ("This Is A History of New York") and mystical longer shorts ("Lost Book Found") to inspiring features ("Benjamin: Smoke" co-directed with Peter Sillen, and "Fugazi: Instrument"). He captures people in such a way that you feel an innocence that movie cameras used to capture 100 years ago. We talk about his latest feature "Museum Hours," new projects, his friendship with Chris Marker, motivations behind filmmaking and how American audiences are still surprising and strong. Jem is philosophical, often working alone with a camera on a street corner - but he is also a fun-loving humorous guy.

Jem Cohen nació en Afganistán por esas cosas de la vida (y del Imperio) pero su hábitat es Nueva York, una Nueva York que nadie muestra y que tal vez incluso haya dejado de existir aplastada por la ciudad turística e inalcanzable para quienes hicieron que la ciudad fuera lo que es. Cohen creó una estética para el margen, de la ciudad, de la industria musical y de la misma "civilización estadounidense", que se expresa con alguna distorsión "Instrument", obra codirigida y realizada con la banda punk Fugazi. De esto y de muchos otros film,es de Cohen hablamos en el podcast.

In the Kunsthistorisches Art Museum in Vienna, Johann is a security guard who finds a special quiet magic at the institution. One day, a Canadian woman arrives on a compassionate visit to the city, and the two strike up a friendship through their appreciation of art. That relationship helps put all the other goings on at the museum and in the city in perspective as Johann observes and participates in them in a world where art can say so much more than a casual visitor might know. Director / Writer / Producer / Cinematographer / Editor, Jem Cohen (Chain, Benjamin Smoke, Instrument, and Evening's Civil Twilight in Empires of Tin) joins us for a discussion on love, friendship, life and art.
