“In this, as with The Equal Temperament Fender Mix (which adds a tape delay system), the hallucinatory effect of sustained listening is one of music and matter that creates its own time.”
The three pieces collected here date from 1976, and this edition represents their debut release on vinyl. Presented over two LPs, these pieces were recorded by Hennix with her ensemble The Deontic Miracle, during rehearsals at the Dream Music Festival in Stockholm that year. These aren’t the first releases from those sessions: some works saw light of day in Central Palace Music (2016), and Empty Editions has plans to follow up this set with further LPs. Hennix’s festival recordings are clearly a rich and important archive, of interest not only to people who follow her fascinating and important art and music works, but for those seeking to build a more complete picture of artists working in the intersection between Fluxus, jazz, the roots of minimalism and more besides.
