In April 2023, there was released the first part of the Fluxus edition called Stolen Symphony. The year has come and gone and there is the second part of the Fluxus edition called Keep Together. At the centre of both parts of this edition was a broken piano, acquired by the Opening Performance Orchestra for the purpose of making live and studio recordings. During this time other new works for this broken piano were written by diverse Fluxus and non-Fluxus composers. In the spring of 2022, the Opening Performance Orchestra and broken piano participated in an event hosted by Mieko Shiomi. This was a new version of her early work Spatial Poem, documentation of which was presented at the 2022 Aichi Triennale in Tokyo. At present, broken piano lies in the open air in Prague and is subject to gradual decay.
These both parts of this edition contain 73 new and old pieces, live and studio recordings, finished pieces and scores to be performed, solos and pieces for ensemble, using classical and special instruments from 33 Fluxus artists, which have been played by 10 soloists and 4 ensembles. There are new essays and articles from 15 writers on the theme Fluxus, original photos and other documentation in the booklets.
These two Fluxus editions feature (in alphabetical order):
Eric Andersen, Ay-O, George Brecht, John Cage, Giancarlo Cardini, Giuseppe Chiari, Henning Christiansen, Philip Corner, Öyvind Fahlström, Ken Friedman, Sten Hanson, Geoffrey Hendricks, Dick Higgins, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Joe Jones, Bengt af Klintberg, Milan Knížák, Larry Miller, George Maciunas, Sara Miyamoto, Nam June Paik, Yoko Ono, Opening Performance Orchestra, Benjamin Patterson, Josef Anton Riedl, Terry Riley, Takako Saito, Tomas Schmit, Dieter Schnebel, Mieko Shiomi, Yasunao Tone, Ben Vautier, Yoshi Wada and La Monte Young.
The musicians and performers:
Anna Clementi, Agnese Toniutti, Deborah Walker, Werner Durand, Luciano Chessa, Miroslav Beinhauer, Petr Bakla, Nicolas Horvath, Petr Ferenc, Premysl Ondra, S.E.M. Ensemble with Petr Kotík, Arditti Quartet, and Brno Contemporary Orchestra with the conductor Pavel Snajdr have played, performed and declaimed the Fluxus pieces. The writers Milan Knížák, Petr Rezek, Petr Kotík, Olaf Hanel, Eric Andersen, Terry Riley, Per Brunskog, Peter van der Meijden, Pavlína Morganová, Natasha Lushetich, Joseph Nechvatal, Natilee Harren, Martin Patrick, Paul Hegarty, and Ken Friedman have written new Fluxus-themed texts.
The Belgian label Sub Rosa provided technical support and a good place for the grand-scale release on 2LPs, 2CDs and digital. The audio restauration and mastering were done by Gabriel Séverin at Laboratoire central, Brussels, and Kakaxa, 3bees, Prague. Archivio Conz in Berlin provided access to their extensive archives and Edizioni Conz provided co-production. Ursula and René Block made possible the realisation of John Cage's historical composition Mozart Mix from the Edition Block archive. The photographic material comes from Marie Knížáková and Milan Knížák's private archive, the German photographer Wolfgang Träger, Archivio Conz's Fluxus archive, the private archives from diverse Fluxus artists and Opening Performance Orchestra's digital archive. We also received many valuable recommendations and contacts from Jon Hendricks. The cover themes are paintings by Milan Knížák, while the graphic design is the work of Jaroslav Buzek. The whole release is produced by re-set production.
