Descriptionlangspeelplaat 'Joe Jones - In Performance' van Joe Jones, 33 1/3 rpm, Wiesbaden, Erbenheim, Harlekin-Art (1978), nr478 van een oplage van 500, gesigneerd; NB: 'Issued in 1977 on the Harlekin Art Records imprint (Wiesbaden, Germany) in an edition of 500. Essentially, this is a recording of several instances of a massive orchestra of instrumental automatons set in motion. The instrumentations runs the gamut: piano with developed keyboard and mechanics, shop-window puppets manipulated by hand, two small guitars, one shadow-object, three xylophones, four lyricas, two tambourines, four normal guitars, one large zither, two balalaikas, one sonia, and three children's guitars. Motors and gravity are involved. There's a bit of the liners (in German) on the back that goes off about the connection between this record and Yoko Ono's classic Fly, maybe actual, maybe theoretical. Extended flights revealing layer after layer of glossed sound-murk, presented in perfect art-damage fidelity (microphones set up in the warehouse NEXT DOOR to the one where the aktion took place). Extremely pleasing. - Forced Exposure' [bron: www.ubu.com]; NB2: 'Cover: one-color silk-screen print based on a drawing of the artist. 30cm, 33RPM, 1977, limited edition of 500, numbered and signed, Harlekin Art records, Wiesbaden.
