Exceptionally rare, collectible first edition hardcover volume of Notations 21, the anthology drawing inspiration from John Cage's Notations. Notations 21 features illustrated musical scores from more than 100 composers from every continent, all of whom are innovators in the art of notation. Each score is accompanied by written contributions from the artists, explaining how the music manifested visually, exploring every facet of their creative processes, from inspiration to execution. Contributors include the likes of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Earle Brown, Halim El-Dabh, Joan La Barbara, and Yuji Takahashi, as well as emerging composers whose compositions are visually astounding and important. In the spirit of honuoring the 40th anniversary of Cage's seminal book, while furthering it in a 21st century context, a portion of the sales of this book were donated to the Foundation for Contemporary Performing Arts.

Following the success of "A Brief History of Curating" (now available in five different languages, in its fifth reprint, and as an e-book), this publication gathers together interviews with pioneering musicians of the 1950s to the 1980s. The book thus brings together avant-garde composers such as Elliott Carter, Pierre Boulez, and Karlheinz Stockhausen; originators of electro-acoustic music such as François Bayle, Pauline Oliveros, Iannis Xenakis, Robert Ashley, and Peter Zinovieff; Minimalist and Fluxus-inspired artists such as Tony Conrad, Phill Niblock, Yoko Ono, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley; as well figures such as Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Arto Lindsay, and Caetano Veloso. Their contributions map the evolution of the musical field, from early experiments in concrete and abstract music, to the electronic development and the hybridization between Pop and avant-garde culture.

Hans Ulrich Obrist (*May 1968) joined the Serpentine Gallery (London) as Co-Director of International Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects in 2006.

The book is part of the Documents series, co-published with Les presses du réel and dedicated to critical writings.

"What a generous and incredible documentation of modern composers' minds and spirits!! It reveals their different characters, moods, methods, and more—proper fertile!!!" —Björk

The tenth issue of F.R.DAVID is "…for single mothers." It presents a heterosexual man who takes the liberty to representing some universal views of humanity, typically expressed by women and homosexuals.
"If the critical suggestion I am making in this book is that people tell their stories (which they do not know or cannot speak) through others’ stories, then the very force of insight of this critical suggestion was at once born out and actively enacted, put in motion, by the process of my writing, which was driven, in effect, by the ways in which I was precisely missing my own implication in the texts before me." Shoshana Felman, "What Does A Woman Want?"
