Root (album)

Infobox Album | Name = Root
Type = Album
Artist = Thurston Moore


Released = January 19, 1999
Label = Lo Recordings

"Root" was a multimedia project based around 25 one minute guitar pieces improvised by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. These samples were sent out to around 100 people - both visual artists as well as musicians - in hoover bags to remix or create accompanying artwork for. The results were then released on CD, as a limited edition CD in a numbered hoover bag (of which only 2000 were created), as a 5 piece vinyl box set, and as an exhibition which featured work by Angela Bulloch, David Bowie, Gavin Turk and many others.

Though no tracklisting comes with the album, just a list of the track contributors, some titles have come out in interviews with those involved. These are listed below where applicable.
