-
- Music Commentary
Iterations is a substantive piece of writing on John Nixon's contribution to experimental music recently published on Disclaimer. Through interviews with John and friends, writer Tiarney Miekus traces his prolific collaborations and the evolution of Anti-Music and The Donkey's Tail.
The Donkey’s Tail is an experimental, abstract, free noise, improv, garage ensemble using electric guitars, drums, percussion teamed with banjo, triangle and trombone formed in early 2007 by John Nixon.
Presented here are excerpts of Tiarney and John’s conversations alongside a live performance from The Donkey’s Tail at The Trench, Federation Square in 2014.
