MARCHETTI, WALTER - IN TERRAM UTOPICAM (LP)

"Walter Marchetti is one of the most original and controversial pre-Fluxus authors. In this work he frees all of his sophisticated poeticism. The LP includes the same materials as the original 1978 Cramps LP titled "In terram utipicam", or "J'aimerais jouer avec un piano qui aurait une grosse queue" (1974/75) as well as the estreme electronic pieces "Adversus" (Home-made electric music) (1966) and "Osmanthus fragrans" (Home-made electric music) (1973). The LP sleeve reproduces the original scores of "J'aimerais jouer" and "Adversus", photos of the performance at the Venice Biennale. The full color inner sleeve reproduces photos of various Marchetti performances as well as the original "In terram utopicam" LP layout. All texts are published both in English and Italian. First included in a 5LP box set together with other 4 LPs "In terram utopicam" this LP is also available now, separately from the complete box set, in a very limited number of copies." (label info)
