Conure — The Generation of Our Grandfathers Buy it at Amazon

Buy it from InSound

Cast your mind back to the summer of 2003. Conure was watching a documentary broadcast on HBO as he was packing for a soon-to-be-canceled (unbeknownst to him) move to Berlin called “Paragraph 175” which discussed the Nazi persecution of homosexuals under Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code of 1871. Much like most of us, Conure did not know much of the details of the persecution other than it did indeed happen. This documentary was so riveting that Conure quickly pieced together this audio soundtrack of lo-fi experimental ambience in an effort to persuade others to learn more and unleash the emotions that Conure felt while watching this film. Rarely now-a-days do we hear of movies inspiring music, but Mark Wilson aka Conure’s work on “The Generation of Our Grandfathers” will hopefully not only bring notice to such an important piece of history but also remind us that the act of paying tribute via sound is an impeccable way to bring attention to any issue or idea.
