The Wall Street Journal features Dylan Carlson at the New York Guitar Festival

Music has long been performed in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But this week marks the first time the Cloisters, its medieval art and architecture outpost in Fort Tryon Park, will be overtaken by a veritable army of guitars.

In the first collaboration between the museum and the annual New York Guitar Festival, 16 players from an array of musical styles and traditions will perform Saturday in the daylong event, “Audible Cloisters: Guitar Marathon.”

For David Spelman, founder and artistic director of the festival, the Cloisters offered intriguing possibilities—in particular, he said, the chance “to sonically activate the space, with its remarkable acoustics and amazing Gothic and Romanesque architecture.”

Dylan Carlson

The leader of the seminal drone-metal band Earth has seen his share of sacred venues in his three-decade career, few as enticing as the Cloisters.

“We played in Leeds, which was one of the coldest shows ever, in an empty, no-longer-in-use church in northern England,” he said, where neither he nor the drummer could feel their feet by night’s end. “It was a Gothic Revival, a really huge church, so the reverb was pretty crazy.”

Although he will play versions of old English folk songs from a new solo album, Mr. Carlson can relate to the monastic in his own music. “Definitely the long, sustained drone thing has been used to alter consciousness for spiritual purposes,” he said. “These spaces were developed for that.”

Dylan Carlson will be playing solo shows in Philadelphia and Brooklyn in addition to his performance at the New York Guitar Festival. Then he joins the rest of Earth to play Maryland Deathfest and Hellfest ahead of their just-announced full US tour with Boris. All dates and ticket links available HERE.

    You need to speak up about cortney love, and your guys involvement in Kurt's murder. Man up and tell the truth please, cortney needs to pay for what she did, you guys got rid of all the evidence quickly, only you can do the right thing. Our do you want a happy life full of guilt, then suffer on judgment day. Just confess and save your soul, your getting old and when your time on earth runs out it will be to late. You know Courtney love was the master mind behind the murder of the most amazing rock artist, please let the truth be told. She needs to take responsibility for what you and I both know she did. You can hide the truth from humans that's easy, but you really think you can hide it from the creator of all. Do the right thing and clear Kurt's name. It will take that guilt you have ever since away. I pray you do the right thing, if not just remember the creator is just and will not let the guilty go unpunished. God bless you brother and I pray you do the right thing and stop hiding the truth. Yes it's been a very long time, but you and only you can help clear the false suicide. I mean why give him a rep of suicide and let that evil person get away with murder, he was your best friend and he loved you. Be strong and do the right thing and your sins will be forgiven, then you will be rocking out with kurt and I in eternity. Or do you really want to suffer for eternity over a lieing Evil women for this tiny moment it time just for fame and money. God bless you brother. It's never to late to do the right thing

    This is a long and good read. I learned more about the interview of Dylan Carlson, the head of Earth's band. Dylan Carlson is a natural born musician, he always loves music and pursues his dream to be a great musician. I always listen to his music at my work in roofing, for me to gain confidence at my work.
