> Tony Conrad remains one the greatest American artists of his time, yet to the world at large he remains criminally underappreciated. Since the early 1960s, Conrad's films & compositions have been the stuff of legend for artists and musicians everywhere. He recorded the soundtrack to Jack Smith’s legendary Flaming Creatures; he laid bare the paradigms of cinema with The Flicker, a film composed of only black and white frames; his powerful & startling drone compositions still have the music establishment scratching their heads; his early work with La monte Young & John Cale played a role in the formation of The Velvet Underground; as an early adopter of activist public access television he democratized the emerging medium of portable video for ordinary citizens. His vast, fifty year inter-disciplinary repertoire inspired & confounded generations of artists, collaborators & fans... This feature documentary, recorded over a 22 year period, draws on a rich archive of videos with a non-linear & non-obvious structure allowing Conrad to wildly free associate his streams of consciousness, revealing an honest and humane way of navigating a remarkable, creative life.
