Square Zeros #22: Chris Carr (Stonehenge Parnhashnakovsky, Brooklyn Wildlife)

Square Zeros

Burlesque. Hip-hop. Performance art, dance troupes. Heavy metal, DJs. Fire spinners. Punk rock, indie rock. “Nudity is unity.” To catch a Brooklyn Wildlife production is to surrender to a single concept — freedom — and the platform reflects the artist behind it, Chris Carr. Chris started Brooklyn Wildlife with his longtime musical collaborator Keith Lay in 2011 as a way to promote artistic expression outside of conventional, often commercial channels. His current hip-hop project — he performs under the name Stonehenge Parnhashnakovsky — operates under similar assumptions. As a result, Chris takes care not to label himself as a certain style of rapper. This episode features one of his recent tracks, "Live From The Bottomless Pit," plus two songs from one of his earliest recording efforts (circa 1999), and a live in-studio freestyle.
