The Lake met american minimalist composer and multi-instrumentalist Rhys Chatham during a soundcheck just before his latest concert in Copenhagen playing with Danish drummer Rune Kielsgård and bassist Jeppe Skovbakke. Chatham talks about the music he plays today, where it comes from, and eventually revisits his time as musical director at The Kitchen in 1970's New York, where his unique blend of minimalism and rock aesthetics was born.
