See Broken Music book. Berliner Musik Workshop 15-26 Nov. 1973. Great abstract improvisations from the trio of Dieter Roth, Oswald Wiener and Gerhard Ruhm(have a look at my other auctions for more similar records!!). The group Selten Gehorte Musik has appeared with various formations over the years, releasing 6 records, in which participated Arnulf Rainer, Attersee, Dominik Steiger and Gunther Brus, Hermann Nitsch, Andre Thomkins and Bjorn Roth, Heinz Cibulka, Herbert Hossmann and Paul Renner.

In this recording, you find 2 "pieces": Symphonie 1A is a recording of Roth, Rühm & Wiener listening and commenting the recordings of Symphonie 1. I am pretty sure that the players on this record do not know how to play the instruments or they are abusing them intentionally...A HUGE MUST!!

Here's the tracklisting:

Dieter Roth was a Swiss-German artist best known for his artist's books and for his sculptures and pictures made with rotting food stuffs. He was also known as Dieter Rot and Diter Rot. Whilst Roth was close friends with many members of early Fluxus(Richard Hamilton, Tom Phillips, Otto Muehl and Dorothy Iannone), the avant-garde art movement centred around George Maciunas in New York(John Cage), he deliberately kept his distance from Maciunas; when asked to add his memories of Maciunas to a biography being compiled by Emmett Williams, he contributed a less-than-complimentary summary. In 1960 he won the William and Norma Copley Award , which included Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst and Herbert Read on the jury. As well as a substantial monetary prize, the award included the chance to print a monograph; Roth declined, asking instead for funding to pay for a new work. The end result was his most ambitious book to date, the Copley Book, 1965, a semi-autobiographical deconstruction of the process of book making. In the same year he exhibited at Arthur Köpcke’s gallery in Copenhagen and at the Festival d’Art d’Avant-garde, Paris in 1960, and began an itinerant lifestyle, exhibiting and working throughout Europe, Iceland and America, a pattern he would continue for the rest of his life. A key breakthrough in his attitude to art was witnessing the performance of Tinguely's Homage to Modern Art in Basel, 1961. The work profoundly impressed Roth, leading to a decisive break with constructivism into post-modern avant-garde practices associated with the Nouveaux Réalistes such as Tinguely and Arman, and the group of artists that were about to become known as Fluxus, including Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik.

Important: the cover is not the original cover, it seems to be a reproduction somebody made using copies of the original cover artwork and pasting them on a blank cover. Other that than the cover lies in mint condition, while the vinyls lie in mint- condition, look super clean and play wonderfully all along!! If you're a fan of the music, this is the perfect copy for you!! Extremely difficult  to find in any condition, don't lose this chance to grab it now!!
