Title: 	Avant Marghen Vol. 1
Label: 	ALGA MARGHEN (ITALY)
Format: 	7LP BOX
Price: 	$175.00
Catalog #: 	MARGHEN 020LP
Incredible set of 3 boxes, each with 7LPs in it, from the Alga Marghen  
archives. These are all previously released LPs, but most have been  
o/p for many years now. The boxes are limited to a numbered edition of  
80 copies each. "The VocSon series might be identified as the starting  
point of all the Alga Marghen activities. This series, which still  
continues to present on limited LP records the most advanced  
international vocal experiments, is mainly dedicated to the  
documentation of sound poetry. Since most of the titles immediately  
sold out, Alga Marghen decided to issue a kind of anthology, specially  
issued for ArtBasel where Alga Marghen will present its catalog  
following an invitation by Maurizio Nannucci of the Artists Record  
Pavillion. This also in order to give the opportunity to those who  
missed the-now-rare original editions to be able to find them now,  
even if in a very limited run. Each LP is numbered on the VocSon  
innersleeve expressly conceived for this edition. This luxury boxset  
edition actually includes the first 7 LPs issued for the VocSon  
series, or:
        1) Bernard Heidsieck Poème-Partition X LP. First 80 copies  
from the original 300 copies edition issued in 1997. The very early  
experimental poem by Bernard Heidsieck may be considered one of his  
first important creations. The record which started the VocSon series.
        2) Henri Chopin Cantata for Two Farts & Co. LP. Edition of 80  
copies with new labels. Henri Chopin presents previously unreleased  
audiopoems as well as the reprint of two pieces from the Radiotaxi LP  
(the tracks taken from Radiotaxi are here presented for the first time  
mastered at the correct speed).
        3) Bernard Heidsieck Vaduz LP. Edition of 80 copies with new  
labels. 'Vaduz' (12:23) can be considered one of Bernard Heidsieck's  
major works. Very experimental with a lot of electronic manipulations.  
According to Henri Chopin, this is the only true audiopoem by  
Heidsieck. Composed June to December 1974 and recorded on a Revox A  
700 at the author's studio.
        4) Philip Corner Word-Voices LP. First 80 copies from the  
original 500 copies edition issued in 1997. A record LP of vocal  
utterances including early Fluxus voice and instrumental pieces. 5)  
Henri Chopin Les Mirifiques Tundras & Co.. Original pre-released  
edition of 80 copies on yellow vinyl, never offered before. Extreme  
voice sound manipulations. Somehow in the vein of Hodell Text-Sound  
composition, just more primitive and visceral.
        6) Sten Hanson The Sonosopher Retrospective LP. First 80  
copies from the original 545 copies edition issued in 1998. An  
anthology of Sten Hanson Text-Sound composition. This edition  
pre-dates the anthologized CDs which were issued in Sweden.
        7) Ake Hodell 220 Volts Buddha LP. First 80 copies from the  
original 545 copies edition issued in 1998. Fantastic electronic music  
LP. The pieces on this LP were included in the 3CD anthology issued by  
Fylkingen. Your chance to get the original edition on LP now."

Title: 	Avant Marghen Vol. 2
Label: 	ALGA MARGHEN (ITALY)
Format: 	7LP BOX
Price: 	$175.00
Catalog #: 	MARGHEN 021LP
Second volume of the Avant MarghenVocSon series, numbered edition of  
80 copies. "This luxury boxset edition actually includes the second  
group of 7 LPs issued for the VocSon series:
        1) Brion Gysin's Poems Of Poems LP. First 80 copies from the  
original 630 copies edition issued in 1998. Very early poetical  
experimentation recorded in 1958 at the Beat Hotel, Paris. The origins  
of cut-up are documented in this radical edition. You will experience  
why Brion Gysin was a strong reference for Henri Chopin and Bernard  
Heidsieck.
        2) Bernard Heidsieck 50/70 LP. First 80 copies from the  
original 480 copies edition issued in 1998. The third Bernard  
Heidsieck LP issued by Alga Marghen draws the picture of two specific  
moments on artistic creation: the 1950s and the 1970s. 3) Jose Luis  
Castillejo The Book of i's LP. First 80 copies from the original 240  
copies edition issued in 1998. Very limited and immediately sold out  
edition of Castillejo conceptual recordings. Jose Luis Castillejo  
books always included him among the Concrete Poems and were regarded  
as very special graphic creations. A deep exploration of his abstract  
and radical poetry will lead to a more conceptual and philosophical  
understanding as this LP clearly states.
        4) Gil J. Wolman L'anticoncept LP. Edition of 80 copies with  
new labels. Edition of Gil J Wolman megapneums, or the beginning of  
the whole sonic adventures. If Gysin was a strong conceptual influence  
for the Henri Chopin and Bernard Heidsieck generation, Wolman was  
showing them the sonic direction. Just with the use of the breath and  
respiration, his Megapneums had the same intensity of the electronic  
manipulation that will make Chopin's audiopoems so radically new and  
uncompromising. This LP also include excerpts from Wolman sound-film  
L'Anticoncept from 1952.
        5) Isidore Isou Poèmes Lettristes 1944-99 LP. Edition of 80  
copies with new labels. Historical edition by Isidore Isou. This is  
the first record LP ever published by the father of Lettrism. Poems  
from 1944 to 1999 including a breath taking improvisation, some 1970s  
recordings by Maurice Lemaitre and an early, primitive and incredible  
performance by Francois Dufrene. Recorded at Isou's apartement in 1999.
        6) Juan Hidalgo Una Voz LP. First 80 copies from the original  
323 copies edition issued in 2000. First ever ZAJ LP record! An  
historical recording of Juan Hidalgo 'Una Voz,' including concrete  
sound interventions by Walter Marchetti. A large size booklet with the  
transcription in English and Spanish of the spoken text is also  
included. Capital!
        7) Arrigo Lora-Totino Fonemi LP. First 80 copies from the  
original 345 copies edition issued in 2000. Arrigo Lora-Totino is  
probably best known for having been the editor of the famous sound  
poetry anthology issued by Cramps Records in the 1970s with the title  
'Futura.' But only a few know about his sound poetry production.  
Following Henri Chopin's idea that poetry is above all an expression  
of the body through its own language, Lora-Totino started his  
important poetic practice in 1965 with 'Fonemi,' a sound sample of  
erasure: the reading of a text recorded on tape is filtered through an  
electronic pulse generator that splits it into small fragments."

the Revue OU LP anthology. This LP includes previously unreleased  
audiopoems dating from 1965 to 1981.
        7) Ben Patterson A Fluxus Elegy LP. First 80 copies from the  
original 345 copies edition issued in 2006. This Ben Patterson  
composition, issued on is based on the basic principles of the  
polyphonic music of the Bantu tribes of West and Central Africa. First  
principle: the practice of interlocking individual pitches or tones  
performed by one person into spaces between other pitches or tones  
performed by another person, thus alternating pitches or tones of one  
part with those of another part to create a whole. Second principle:  
use of cyclical and open-ended forms involving one or more ostinato  
melodic/rhythmic pattern as a foundation. Third principle: community  
participation... non-specialists are encouraged to join in long  
performances with much repetition. Fourth principle: rhythmic  
complexity with the juxtaposition of double and triple patterns,  
multiple layering of different patterns, and interaction between a  
core foundation and improvised parts. And, most important, the family  
'ownership' of a specific tone: in the musical culture of these  
tribes, each ancestral family 'owns' and is responsible for one or  
more specific tones, which must be sounded at specific points,  
sequencing with the many other specific tones 'owned' by other  
families, to create a seamless melody. Ben Patterson made a music  
based on this information by taking the initials of artists listed in  
Fluxus: The Most Radical and Experimental Art Movement of the Sixties  
and encoding them in basic International Morse Code. These 'dots and  
dashes' were then performed on a Yamaha DJX keyboard (voice pattern  
setting), connected to a Digitech JamMan Looper (over-dub setting),  
connected to an Eurorack MX 602A mixer. Front cover reproducing the  
original score."
