Peter Ulrich | Dead Can Dance and the Potential of Music
Description
Hunter and I had the unexpurgated pleasure of speaking to the former drummer of one of our favorite bands since the mid-'80s, Dead Can Dance. Peter Ulrich joined us to talk about his book "Drumming With Dead Can Dance and Parallel Adventures," which describes how he crossed paths with Brendan Perry & Lisa Gerrard from the band, his experiences while in the band, and his life afterwards. What makes Dead Can Dance's music so important is it's ability to transcend all musical genres whilst utilizing so many within their music. They take music and artistic expression to a new level. It is the pop music of metaphysical philosophers, anthropologists, and astronomers.
