Bill Laswell Gofundme
The past two years have been difficult for everybody, but
especially those whose livelihood has been affected by the pandemic.
Bassist, iconic producer, and sonic visionary Bill Laswell becomes the
latest to fall victim to the vagaries of these crazy times.
Dealing with a whole host of preexisting health conditions, Bill’s
musical output has been seriously curtailed by Covid, which is basically
a death sentence should he be infected. With the risk too great, he has
not been able to keep up his usual pace, working alongside other
musicians and engineers in his Jersey studio. The pandemic has also
forced him to cancel live appearances at European festivals, where he
has generated the bulk of his income. To add insult to injury, he is now
desperately searching for a place to live after getting evicted from
his current Manhattan home. He is also struggling to hold on to the
lease for Orange Music, the legendary New Jersey studio that he has
helmed for the last 20 years. Bill is putting the call out to all fans,
friends, and fellow artists: If you can help, please chip in. It’s NOW
or NEVER, and no contribution is too small.
