SOUNDTRACK
While the stars danced to disco music with glitz and glamor at Studio 54, the underground scene in Lower Manhattan partied in the Mudd Club to the sounds of Punk, Post-Punk and New Wave – among them Jean-Michel Basquiat. He regularly appeared at the Mudd Club either as a DJ or as a clarinetist with his band Gray.
The SCHIRN Soundtrack captures the mood of the time. It embraces Disco, Hip Hop, Punk, Post-Punk and Pop as well as Jazz and New Wave – all music genres that were integral to 1980s New York and was produced there.
