Rare MOMA issue of this French lp of beautiful and alien experimental sound sculpture music, specially packaged for sale at the museum's gift shop during their 1965 exhibition of the Structures Sonores. The music was composed by Jacques Lasry and Daniel Ouzounoff and performed on the legendary instrument-sculptures built by brothers Francois and Bernard Baschet out of metal, glass, and plastic. The nice trifold cover designed by Mary Margaret Ahern has 12 photos of the visually striking pieces that were on display, and notes by Ludwig Glaeser. The Baschet Structures Sonores have been used in composition and performance by Andres Lewin-Richter, Ravi Shankar, Toru Takemitsu, Michel Deneuve, Sigfried Fink, Jacques Doyen, Sarah Gorby, Michael Ranta, Stomu Yamash'ta, Jean Cocteau, Edgard Varese, John Cage, David Tudor, Yehudi Menuhin, Pierre Schaeffer and Jean Schwartz of the INA-GRM, and Jacques, Yvonne, and Teddy Lasry of Magma; they compare to the sculpture, sound installation, and homemade instrument work of Paul Panhuysen, Bill Fontana, Harry Bertoia, Sonambient, Max Neuhaus, Harry Partch, Z'ev, Donald Knaack, Alvin Lucier, Mario Bertoncini, Bruce Nauman, Skip LaPlante, Jean Tinguely, Michael Brewster, Hugh Davies, Terry Fox, and Robert Rutman, and their recordings are listed in the Broken Music catalog.
