“If one were to highlight one single trait traversing Fredrikson’s entire work, it would perhaps be this dangerous and productive challenge: the absolute singularity of the invention / intervention, the extreme attentiveness and the avoidance of repetition; an intense tension . . . where ‘he nothing / the hand passes’ and ‘space is a sentence reassembled by the point.’”—Jonas Magnusson

Published on the occasion of Lars Fredrikson’s retrospective exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain in Nice, organized in collaboration with the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco and the artist’s son, this book is the first monograph dedicated to the radical Swedish painter, draftsman, sculptor, and precursor of sound art (1926–1997). Over his long career the artist produced a vast and multidisciplinary corpus of works that aimed to question our perception—the borders between the visible and the invisible, presence and absence, inside and outside. The publication plays on the multiple rebounds and echoes in Fredrikson’s works, in particular his nonlinear approach to art, his bodily exploration of vibrations, and his constant aim to grasp the invisible waves and frequencies that surround us—to render palpable the unseen that is actually right before our eyes.

Vol. 17 issue of G-Modern, the scarcely seen cult underground music magazine published by the late Hideo Ikeezumi, founder of the legendary P.S.F. label and Modern Music record store, Tokyo’s home for underground, avant-garde and obscure musics. Published in Winter '97-'98, this early issue features Jutok Kaneko, Congregation, Current 93, Arthur Doyle, Klaus Dinger, Kikuchi Kōji, Barre Phillips, Chu Ishikawa, Nelly Pouget, Screamin' Mee-Mees, Solmania, Mike Whilhelm, Sumegma, unknown psychedelia, record reviews, and much more.

"The text is all in Japanese, but each issue is crammed with great photographs, weird artwork and ads, and lots of album reviews (the Japanese tradition of always reproducing every cover is helpful here). There's a big emphasis on older, ultra obscure stuff, so there's always a few repros of covers you'll definitely never see for the rest of your life. The accent is not only on the Tokyo underground as documented by PSF, but the entire history of worldwide psychedelic, avant-garde and underground music. Each issue is printed on nice book stock paper, in the 100 page range." - (Forced Exposure)

First 2009 HC edition.

This book is the first to place revolutionary advances in light and optics in the cultural context of France in the first half of the nineteenth century. The narrative follows the work and careers of France's two chief rivals on the subject of light: Arago and Biot. Their disagreement began on the subject of technical optics, but expanded to include politics, religion, agricultural policy, education, dinner companions, housing arrangements, photography, railroads, vital forces, astrology, the Egyptian calendar, and colonial slavery. At the heart of their disagreement was always a question of visibility, and the extent of transparency or obscurity they assigned to the world. Optical transparency formed a crucial condition for Arago's vision of a liberal republic governed by reason. Biot's call for strong forms of authority rested on his claims that the world did not offer itself up for universal agreement so easily.

‘Sound Art between Avant-Garde and Pop Culture’, a documentation of a conference in 2005.

“Sound Art … is inconceivable without the acoustic, sound-related, tonal, onomatopoeic, auditive or radiophonic aspect. Yet Sound Art is not constituted by this aspect alone, but emerges only in association withmusical, artistic and literary concepts. Sound Art encompasses works characterized by acoustic interdisciplinarity, regardless of the context. Attempts to draw the boundaries of Sound Art from the perspective of art or music theory are thus doomed to failure. It is its uncompromising, subversive openness which accounts for the fascination of Sound Art.”

With text contributions besides by the editors by Barbara Barthelmes, Julia Kursell, Martin Maurach, Daniel Gethmann, Wolfgang Hagen, Peter Frank, Stan Hanson, Heidi Grundmann, Barbara Flückiger, with a CD with audio examples of more than 42 minutes by Majakovskij, Schwitters, Hausmann, Artaud and others, text in German and English.

Wonderful photo-book chronology of the world of Shūji Terayama (1935—1983) and his experimental theatre troupe Tenjō Sajiki (with Kujō Kyōko, Yutaka Higashi, Tadanori Yokoo, Fumiko Takagi, ...), a major phenomenon on the Japanese Angura ("underground") theater scene of the 1960s and 70s. Terayama's activities encompass a who's-who of the Japanese avant-garde arts and literature of the time. This book visually documents it all; the filmography, performances, installations, happenings, exhibitions, posters, publications, and all else that resonated from Japan’s most revered and provocative avant-garde film-maker and his collaborators. Profusely illustrated with hundreds of illustrations in colour, duo and b/w with Japanese commentary, biographies and chronology. A wonderful, visually mind-blowing reference for anyone interested in the work of Terayama, Tenjō Sajiki, Surrealist performance, or Japanese avant-garde underground (Angura) theatre.

Shūji Terayama (1935 — 1983) was a Japanese avant-garde poet, dramatist, writer, film director, and photographer. His works range from radio drama, experimental television, underground (Angura) theatre, countercultural essays, to Japanese New Wave and "expanded" cinema. In 1967 Terayama founded Tenjō Sajiki with Kujō Kyōko, Yutaka Higashi, Tadanori Yokoo, and Fumiko Takagi, a Japanese experimental theater troupe. A major phenomenon on the Japanese Angura ("underground") theater scene, the group produced a number of stage works marked by experimentalism, folklore influences, social provocation, grotesque eroticism and the flamboyant fantasy characteristic of Terayama's oeuvre. Terayama is considered one of the most productive and provocative creative artists to come out of Japan, with a wide-reaching influence on many artists from the 1970s onward.

The Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments is a guided tour through centuries of instruments that never existed. From ancient myths to futuristic media, these imagined devices appear in literature, theory, video games and art, at times echoing real instruments, other times pushing far beyond the bounds of technology. This book presents a wide-ranging collection of such creations, showing how they reflect changing ideas about sound, invention and the limits of the possible. At once a cultural history and a study of creative thought, it uncovers unexpected links between music, design and the human urge to make meaning through sound. These are not just fictional artefacts – they are windows into what music might mean, even when it cannot be played.

“Musical instruments exemplify the development of highly specialized and elaborate technologies, designed for mutual compatibility in collaborative contexts. In this fascinating book, Loughridge and Patteson uncover a quite different strata of invention in which speculative, impossible, and deeply strange instruments live and function within the imagination. They demonstrate conclusively that, despite the dazzling range of existent instruments, there is in human culture an appetite for musical forms that cannot be heard.”—David Toop, musician, writer, and emeritus professor

First, only edition of "Think of The Self Speaking : Harry Smith — Selected Interviews", published in 1998 by Cityful Press and long out-of-print. In this incredible collection you will find the flavour and texture of experimental filmmaker, music anthologist, and enigmatic polymath Harry Smith’s conversation, his rambling, obscure, luminous, cantankerous genius. This collection of interviews spans Harry Smith's long and influential life in American arts and letters. They cover a quarter-century, touching on the full range of Smith's activity as a groundbreaking experimental filmmaker, obsessive collector, folk music anthologist, visionary painter, student of Native American lore, anthropologist, cosmographer, alchemist, hermetic scholar, occultist, autodidact, classic American eccentric, and all-around explorer of the possibilities of human consciousness and creativity. Jordan Belson writes, "THINK OF THE SELF SPEAKING is the next best thing to being with Harry himself-perhaps better, certainly safer. The interviews are remarkably similar to his collage films. A brilliant mind unhinged." Includes an introduction by Allen Ginsberg.

Rare very first (black and gold) 1995 edition, hand-assembled and limited to 800 copies! Published by Book Beat Gallery, Oak Park.

Destroy All Monsters started out as an anti-rock band: four midwestern art students — Jim Shaw, Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, and Niagara — with a mission to subvert the airwaves. Between 1975 and 1979, they produced six issues of DAM Magazine, a barrage of Kelley's perverse cartoons, Shaw and Loren's wild Xeroxed collages, and shots of the band; Niagara did a lot of the cover designs, and everything was crudely printed on cheap paper. "The images that drove us were the strange combinations of film noir, monster movies, psychedelia, thrift-shop values, and the relentless anarchy of an over-stimulated pop culture", recalls Cary Loren. This compilation is the definitive DAM document: hundreds of drawings, photos, Xeroxed artwork, collages, reviews, profiles, and personal manifestos, many works unpublished and unseen before — plus a flexi-record bound into the book (first printing and first pressing of this 1975 recording).

A total of three editions of “Geisha This” were produced and all are out-of-print. Each version was printed in different colours, with a different metallic cover and hand collated in a different sequence, containing new and different contents.

This version (the very first edition), has a cover design by Niagara printed in GOLD metallic ink on BLACK cardboard cover stock. The entire first printing was 800 copies, strikingly printed with dozen’s of multicoloured inks (fluros, metallics), silk-screened and spray-painted pages, with many paper stocks, all hand-assembled, printed, designed and edited by Cary Loren, with artwork and texts by Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Loren and Niagara.

Very Good copy of the first edition in black, a stunning document, complete with the brand new Flexi Disc (Sonosheet) in its first pressing.

Published in 2006 by fashion brand Hysteric Glamor in a numbered edition of 600 copies, bound in padded debossed faux leather hardcover with a 7" record, "the book is a monograph of my late 1970s photographs of my friends, the avant-garde rock group Destroy All Monsters."—Sue Rynski, Detroit photographer. Described by legendary critic Lester Bangs as "anti-rock", Destroy All Monsters was an influential Detroit rock band formed in 1973 by University of Michigan art students Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, legendary femme fatale Niagara, and filmmaker Cary Loren, existing to 1985 with shifting personnel and sporadic performances since. Performing their first concert at a comic book convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on New Year's Eve of 1973, the group combined elements of punk, psych, metal and noise rock with a heavy dose of experimentation and performance art, influenced as much by ESP-Disk, Sun Ra and The Velvets, as monster movies and Futurism. The cult group earned a measure of notoriety through their coveted DAM Magazine, also due to members of The Stooges and MC5 joining the band, and Sonic Youth singer/guitarist Thurston Moore compiling a three compact disc set of the group's music in 1994.

"Born in 1954, year of the birth of rock and roll, I grew up immersed in the high energy music of my hometown Detroit. This loud, physical, emotional music took hold and became a part of me."—Sue Rynski

A stunning book published by Hysteric Glamor director Nobuhiko Kitamura, with editorial direction by : Osamu Wataya, Michitaka Ota (Sokyusha), and Koichi Hara. 7" includes the tracks "Rocking the Cradle" and "Little Boyfriend" by Destroy All Monsters.

Out–of–print facsimile edition of Destroy All Monsters Magazine including remnants of the “lost” seventh issue, which was never released. Destroy All Monsters Magazine features work by Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Niagara, and Jim Shaw.

Destroy All Monsters Magazine was edited by Cary Loren and contained artwork, photographs, and flyers from band mates Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Niagara, and Jim Shaw. Printed using any papers and techniques available to the band, the issues combine the cut and paste tactics of punk zines with a psychedelic affinity for color. Destroy All Monsters Magazine functions as a kind of manifesto, providing insight into the band through densely layered pages with movie imagery, kitsch, cartoons, delicate drawings, and counter-culture collages. While Destroy All Monsters has been the subject of recent exhibitions and partial reprints, this is the first time that all issues have been reprinted.

The second, expanded edition of this now highly-collectible, limited edition compilation of materials by and about New York art rock band Sonic Youth.

Compiled by Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo to accompany the exhibition of the same name at Printed Matter in the summer of 2000, Sonic Matters, Sonic Kollaborations is a sort of Sonic Youth super ‘zine, with over 220 photocopied pages including essays, interviews, ephemera, memorabilia, photographs, writings, gig flyers, posters, letters, song lyrics, poetry, angry fan mail, art work, record covers and related material. Includes a rambling, poetic essay by Moore on the Youth’s roots in–and ongoing relationship with–the art community, as well as the original exhibition proposals by curator, Todd Alden.

“Sonic Youth’s music explores the sometimes liberating, sometimes repressive + always complexx tensions between subjectivity + mass culture, sexuality + mass media, abjection and the star sy$tem. It is these leitmotifs which also find graphic expression, appropriately enough, in the elegantly degraded poetics of the band’s printed matter and ephemera.” ––from the exhibition introduction by Todd Alden, edited and transcribed directly onto the walls of Printed Matter by Thurston Moore.

This expanded edition goes even further, featuring extra bonus materials.

Good copy but with some marking/creasing to transparent acetate cover and marking to black acetate back cover, interior Good—VG with some marking to block edge.

A groundbreaking exploration of voice in literature, oratory, and song, finally available in paperback.

Long before the invention of the phonograph, the written word was unrivaled as a medium of the human voice. In The Ancient Phonograph, Shane Butler takes us back to an age, long before Edison, when writing itself was still relatively new. He meticulously reconstructs a series of Greek and Roman soundscapes ranging from Aristotle to Augustine.

Here the real voices of tragic actors, ambitious orators, and singing emperors blend with the imagined voices of lovesick nymphs, tormented heroes, and angry gods. The resonant world we encounter in ancient sources is at first unfamiliar, populated by texts that speak and sing, often with no clear difference between the two. But Butler discovers a commonality that invites a deeper understanding of why voices mattered then, and why they have mattered since.

“That rare academic work that is delightful to read.”— Johanna Drucker

With later examples that range from Petrarch to Puccini, Mozart to Jimi Hendrix, Butler offers an ambitious attempt to rethink the voice — as an anatomical presence, a conceptual category, and a source of pleasure and wonder. He carefully and critically assesses the strengths and limits of recent theoretical approaches to the voice by Adriana Cavarero and Mladen Dolar and makes a rich and provocative range of ancient material available for the first time to students and scholars in voice studies, sound studies, and media theory. The Ancient Phonograph will appeal not only to classicists but to anyone interested in the verbal arts — literature, oratory, song — and the nature of aesthetic experience.

“A brilliant tour de force. The Ancient Phonograph defamiliarizes contemporary assumptions not just about the voice but about the very mainsprings of meaning and interpretation. What do we ‘hear’ when we read a text? Butler’s answer is complex, but it includes both more and less than what writing purports to represent. This irresolvable differential is what generates the materiality of language — namely, that which seductively compels us to read and to reread, to listen to our texts, and to enjoy them in their endless polyvocality. The texts of ancient Greece and Rome have survived, we can now appreciate, because they are the records of a culture that was neither oral nor literate but was exquisitely aural. Butler is a superb guide to this vocal literary culture, and to our own. His ear is pitch-perfect.” — James I. Porter, Chancellor’s Professor, University of California, Berkeley

“Shane Butler’s The Ancient Phonograph is that rare academic work that is delightful to read. Putting his scholarship at the service of a series of critical readings of classical texts he knows exceptionally well, Butler has brought into focus a crucial argument about the importance of ‘voice’ in classical literature — while also offering readers unfamiliar with that corpus an introduction to some of the field’s ‘greatest hits.’ Butler’s book should find an audience beyond scholars of classics, among those working in critical theory, textual studies, media studies, and the emerging field of media archaeology.” — Johanna Drucker, Breslauer Professor of Bibliographical Studies, University of California, Los Angeles

“The Ancient Phonograph is a highly original, ambitious, and deftly realized book. Taking on some of the most established and widespread post-structuralist concepts of the voice, language, presence, and the real, Butler advances a new theory about literature as a ‘phonograph,’ in the literal (Greek) sense of a writing of the voice. The book’s feat is to revitalize a range of contemporary conversations across the theoretical humanities by coaxing voices from ancient texts that have long been seen as the necessarily abbreviated scripts of once-vibrant, now lost performance cultures and far from relevant to media studies, primarily fixated on the modern and the postmodern. Butler pulls it off beautifully. The Ancient Phonograph maps exciting new ground for thinking about a text’s embodied resonances.” — Brooke A. Holmes, Professor of Classics, Princeton University

In 1972, the legendary musician, composer and mystic Sun Ra (1914-1993) was hard at work scripting and acting in the now classic documentary on his life and work, Space is the Place, as well as publishing his second book of poetry. The book of poems (now extremely rare) was designed and edited by Ra's manager, who asked one of Ra's band members in the Arkestra--the drummer and percussionist Ayé Aton--to contribute images to accompany Ra's poems. The final publication contained three photographs of Aton's indoor, space-themed murals. Published here for the first time, a once-lost trove of photographs dating from 1972, a pivotal year for Sun Ra. Half of the photos in this book are of the interior murals made by Ayé Aton — spectacularly beautiful in their 1970s supersaturated color. From the same period, a cache of never-published photographs taken on location in Oakland for the film Space is the Place, features Ra in full regalia, wearing beautiful Egyptian costumes borrowed from a local masonic temple. These spectacular photographs — unseen artifacts from a now remote time — offer us a special and often entertaining behind-the-scenes glimpse of a much-missed musical visionary.

As she wrote to John Cage in the autumn of 1983, following the untimely deaths of the opera’s patrons—Wies Smals, founder of De Appel, and curator Josine van Droffelaar, in a plane crash in the Swiss Alps—she would have at last had the support to “communicate the finest of my thought to others.” Amacher’s serial, intended for broadcast, sought to transmit her evolving ideas about perception, listening, and composition to a broader public—shifting music away from “nod and tap recognition” toward a transformative practice that could awaken intelligence to “unrecognized and new perceptual modes.”

Set in the year 2021, Intelligent Life follows the employees of Supreme Connections Inc., a music entertainment corporation navigating a future in which artificial intelligence generates music faster than composers can. Anticipating an industry-wide downturn, Supreme Connections president Aplisa Kandel seeks advanced technologies that will revolutionize the act of listening and the future of music, including a bio-music script that lets the user hear Bach from the aural perspective of a reindeer and a wearable device that goes beyond replicating the mechanical tympanic resonances of the listening subject to produce the “listening mind” or the “sophisticated perceiver”—capturing and reproducing all the emotional and psychological associations unique to each individual.

Though Amacher could not realize Intelligent Life in any of its intended forms—she theorized its publication as a serialized radio broadcast and television simulcast, among other configurations—she continued designing “treatments” for the opera for much of her career. This volume makes the most complete of these working documents—including episodic scripts, notes on the use of LaserDisc, and an illustrated storyboard for the pilot—available to the public for the first time.

Maryanne Amacher (1938–2009) was a composer of large-scale fixed-duration sound installations and a highly original thinker in the areas of perception, sound spatialization, creative intelligence, and aural architecture. She is frequently cited as a pioneer of what has come to be called sound art, although her thought and creative practice consistently challenges key assumptions about the capacities and limitations of this nascent genre. Often considered to be part of a post-Cagean lineage, her work anticipates some of the most important developments in network culture, media arts, acoustic ecology, and sound studies.

The publication was edited by Ursula Block and Michael Glasmeier and published in 1989 by DAAD and Gelbe Musik, Berlin.

"A stirringly aggressive antidote to contemporary pop cynicism."–Simon Frith

1992 ReR Megacorp/Semiotext(e)/Autonomedia edition of File Under Popular: Theoretical and Critical Writings on Music, a classic collection of seven essays on the political theory of popular music written by English percussionist, lyricist and music theorist, Chris Cutler (of Henry Cow, Art Bears, News from Babel, Pere Ubu, Gong/Mothergong and Recommended Records fame). The essays were written between 1978 and 1983, four of them in response to requests and the rest unprompted. Two of the essays were first published in two German publications, and two were originally presented by Cutler at two international symposia on popular music. The book was first published in 1985 in London by November Books, the publishing wing of Cutler's independent record label, Recommended Records. It was also published in Polish, German and Japanese.

The essays in File Under Popular tackle the subject of "popular music", what it is, its origins and the political and marketing forces behind it. Cutler charts the history of music and how it was changed by written notation and then recording technology. Three of the essays dwell specifically on individual musicians and groups, namely Sun Ra, The Residents, Phil Ochs and Elvis Presley, but their stories are told within the context of the evolution of music. "Necessity and Choice in Musical Forms" is the first sketch of an analytical theory that shows how memory systems underpin the forms that music can take; part III of this essay is a personnel memoir of Cutler's that explains how his former band, Henry Cow functioned outside the music industry and their involvement in the establishment of Rock in Opposition. The last two essays deal with the development of progressive rock in the United Kingdom, its significance and the politics behind it.

Very Good copy.
