Richard Pinhas on Lessons Learned During a Lifetime Making Experimental Music

From The Washington Post:

For experimental-music aficionados, it’s hard to imagine a world without Richard Pinhas. The French-born guitarist and composer has been a fixture in the international underground for four decades. But there was a time when Pinhas, now 63, thought he was done with music. “In the early 1980s, I was at the point where I had nothing else to say. I was just repeating myself,” he says by phone from Montreal. “I didn’t think I’d come back, because after years away it’s very hard to return, both to playing your instrument and to the circuit.”
