Excerpt:

The score is part of a durational performance piece by post-punk artist and radical feminist Linder Sterling, who also happens to be his mum.

Blood Hell, Does Linder Sterling live in L.A. too? Morrissey's got the entire gang here, but there's no way way Linder could afford the home prices in Malibu. I reckon I recognize this guy from when he would ride his skateboard with Jack and lil' Sammy down the hill to Zuma. Oy mat! I reckon Linder Sterling was a lesbian?? Another gay Morrissey connotation debunked. Get it now?

Someone needs to unlock this guy from his bedroom.

It sounds like an interesting project, at least it is something original. Los Angeles is a beautiful city for the most part. Laurel Canyon is amazing. It is too bad most of the people that can appreciate this type of thing have been run off this site. If you try to have a intellectual conversation or even DARE to admit you like Morrissey's music/ideas you are only met with hostility. I am afraid this site still gets under his skin, which i hope doesn't stop him from doing ANYTHING.

Why is this on the main page as a news item? 'Relative of one of Morrissey's mates releases album' is a bit of a tenuous link, isn't it?

We all know Sam did some photoshopping which people on this site could do better, but please can you give him some credit for being loyal
to his Uncle

Loyalty is what my friends got to have, or ask for, everthing personal stays with me...so that's why I find getting trolling on Sam a bit tiresome, can we move on, the US leg is coming..

Years back there were posts on here about it being "common knowledge" in Manchester that Morrissey had a child, and that the court transcripts contained mention of this (later debunked?)

As a fan who's always taken Morrissey's lyrics more literally than metaphorically, I thought "Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice" was a touching/humorous/vulgar father-to-son missive.

Having said that, this guy doesn't look like either Moz or Linder, with their similarly strong Irish looks.

In an interview with ID, Linder was asked about Maxwell, and this is what she had to say:

And what was it like working with your son on your soundtrack?
I've worked with my son Maxwell many times. He grew up listening to my record collection and I in turn listened to his, so we have shared reference points and an immediate shorthand when trying to explain ideas to each other. I like the idea of keeping everything in the family, even if that family is predominantly an adopted one of those that have crossed my path and left an indelible imprint in some way. Max's five hour score for Destination Moon. You must not look at her! will only be partially heard by the audience, there are parallel soundtracks heard by the dancers in ear phones, this means that the dancers will sometimes appear deliberately out of step as they dance. The score is equal parts dissonance and consonance, rhythmic and rubato, played out by choirs, violins, cellos, two drummers, two pianos, a percussionist and musicians from the Raj Academy. It's an imagined soundtrack from 1956 to 2026.
