Alga Marghen present Charlotte Moorman's Oeuvres Sonores LP, the missing chapter from the series of LPs issued in relation to the presentation done between 2008 and 2013 at Centre Pompidou. Side A features a collection of rare recordings by Charlotte Moorman, not included in the original edition of the Cello Anthology Boxset. The program includes John Cage "26' 1.1499 for a String Player"; Charlotte Moorman and Terry Jennings performing "Piece for Cello and Saxophone" recorded at Judson Hall during the 2nd Annual New York Festival of the Avant-Garde in August 30, 1964; three takes of Nam June Paik "TV Cello," the first as an excerpt from Nam June Paik's "Good Morning, Mr. Orwell," WNET TV New York - Centre Pompidou Paris in 1984, while the other two were recorded at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney in 1976 and at the Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art in September 1982. The tracks are punctuated by recordings of Charlotte Morman's answering machine, giving listeners an insight of her everyday life and connections to John Cage, Nam June Paik, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Jean Dupuy, and several other Fluxus artists, gallerists and friends. Side B features the famous TV Cello -- conceived by Paik for Moorman as a "living sculpture. This LP offers an in-situ recording realized on one of the three days inaugurating the Paik retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, on 11, 12 and 14 September 1982. This LP contains the "Concerto for TV Cello and Videotapes," largely improvised, including a tape collage by Ornette Coleman prepared for Charlotte. Final edition issued in a limited run of 150 copies only, also including 16 posters and concert programs (both in color and back-and-white), or the full documentation of Moorman's Avant Garde Festival Of New York. The record comes in a four-color sleeve with the image from the Oeuvres sonores series.
