The music of Arthur Russell defies classification. From his pioneering work with New York's avant-garde, to his genre-expanding disco productions and ventures into new wave, art pop and folk, Russell crafted timeless and influential work until his premature death in 1992 from AIDS-related illnesses. This title, assembled by Richard King, collects the extensive ephemera found in Russell’s archive, along with pieces from the personal collections of those who were closest to him.Combining unseen visual material—handwritten scores, lyrics, photos, letters, and drawings—with new texts by King and extensive original interviews with Arthur’s collaborators, contemporaries, family, and friends, Travels Over Feeling paints a portrait of Arthur Russell unlike any which has come before, revealing a true picture of one of the most distinctive artists of the last fifty years.
