Cacophonic/Finders Keepers
Cacophonic presents an abridged reissue of “Expériences Musicales”, originally released by Jean Dubuffet in 1961.
If ever a phonographic accomplishment could encapsulate the precise modus operandi of the Cacophonic label, then the “Expériences Musicales” sessions made by French born painter, sculptor, music maker, wine merchant, and founder of the Art Brut movement, Jean Dubuffet would be a prime candidate. Originally released as an impossibly rare six record box set containing Dubuffet‘s first long anticipated forays into sound sculpture and spontaneous artistic noise, these intimate early 1960s recordings show a lesser-known side of this important artist’s personality and stand up as a vital document in both fields of contemporary art and experimental music.
Finally released to a wider audience and presented complete with Dubuffet‘s signature style artwork, this abridged vinyl edition includes specific selections curated by the artist himself, in conjunction with experimental music pioneer Ilhan Mimaroglu, and showcase what the two leading lights of modern art consider to be the best moments of this historic session.
