- Gray is an American experimental band formed by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and filmmaker Michael Holman in 1979. They were not trained musicians, instead they deconstructed sounds and melodies. Gray performed at venues such as the Mudd Club and CBGB which were the epicenter of New York's underground scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The original Gray lineup never released a record, but the band recorded music that was used in films, including The Radiant Child, Downtown 81, Blank City, Downtown Calling, and Basquiat. Since reviving Gray in 2011, original members Michael Holman and Nick Taylor have released an album and they perform live at art institutions. (en)

- Our attitude was like, "Let's embrace the idea that we don't know how to play our instruments and let's only have people in the band who don't know how to play instruments. Let's approach the instruments in a new way. Let's play them as if we were aliens from another world and we had no idea how the instrument was meant to be played, but we knew beautiful music and sound when we heard it." (en)
