About
NPR Music's Tiny Desk (Home) Concerts have been showcasing performances from various artists, including unusual acts like Negativland, known for their sound collage since the late 1970s. The band, originating in the Bay Area, consists of Mark Hosler, David Wills, Peter Conheim, and Jon Leidecker, producing experimental music ranging from pure sound collage to more conventional musical pieces. Negativland gained notoriety for their legal issues with U2's record label and SST Records, leading to widespread publicity. The band's involvement in the Church of the SubGenius parody religion and coining the term "culture jamming" in 1984 further solidifies their position as cultural subverters. Despite their unconventional style, Negativland's Tiny Desk concert was well-received, highlighting their unique approach to music creation.
