This double CD (+ 40 pages booklet) gathers all the music made for Jean Dubuffet's Coucou Bazar, the great painter and sculptor's "animated painting" spectacle. The story begins in 1965, when the Turkish composer Ilhan Mimaroglu, then living in New York, wrote to Dubuffet about his experiments inspired by the artist's drawings; when Dubuffet conceived the show in 1971, he entrusted the music to Mimaroglu.

The first disc is Mimaroglu's electronic score, realised at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center for the first staging of the show at the Guggenheim in 1973, originally issued on the Finnadar label and never reissued since, closing with a previously unreleased poem read by Dubuffet himself. The second disc is Dubuffet's own soundtrack for the third version, staged in Turin in 1978, for which the choreographer Anna Sagna assembled a collage from his recordings of 1961 and 1973-74, music until now buried in a rare 2002 Fondation Dubuffet catalogue.

"My music was slovenly and dirty", Dubuffet said of it, "and therefore anti-musical, anti-humanistic". Eight-panel digipak with a 40-page booklet. 2CD.
