In this conversation, Lord discusses his early years playing music in Massachusetts, including being a founding member of the group that would become Converge, his entry into the classical world, playing bass up close with John Entwistle, how Dreadnaught has stayed together for 30 years, and what makes the music he releases under the PARMA umbrella stand out from other releases in the classical sphere.
