[syndicate] Re: syndicate splash

[epistolaris at freemail.hu]

Of course I have a turnetabe, otherwise how could I listen to the disc of
Junior Machno disc?
But than I don't have any of the listed LPs.
I agree that is a reason  for splash...
Thank you for thinking to me and my LP collection as cause for the syndicate to
undertake and you spoke in interest of it. What  a label this Alga Marghen!

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."

       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."
