Alga Marghen proudly presents one of the highlights of Takis’ catalog, an exclusive LP edition with the recordings of Takis’ electro-magnetic sculptures. Takis is the originator of this new approach to the musicality of sound, which consists in laying bare the repetitious structure of musical form and its functional derivation, thus rejecting the symbolism of representation. Takis was born in 1925 in Athens. Preferring, as a matter of principle, to teach himself rather than study in an institution, he left Greece in 1954 and lived as a citizen of the world, traveling through Europe and the USA. Some of his earliest manifestations in the 1940s consisted of explosions carried out in open places. His first “Signals” date from 1954: they were rods consisting of piano wires which created musical vibrations as they stuck against each other in the wind. In fact, they constituted the first appearance in his work and in contemporary art history of a form of musical expression in which sounds are called forth in an un-programmed way, owing to the action of natural forces. In 1961 Takis met Marcel Duchamp in New York. Duchamp’s perpetual moving bicycle wheels inspired Takis’ hydromagnetic sculptures. In the period between 1964 and 1965, Takis conceived his Pendules magnètiques and constructs his first Sound Sculptures. After the exhibition of Takis titled Electro-musical relief at Indica Gallery in London in 1966, the New Scientist magazine in an article entitled “The Sounds of Tomorrow” commented that Takis, Iannis Xenakis and John Cage were the most promising musicians of the century. Takis’ Pendules magnétiques are based on the simple concept of using magnetic waves caused by electricity as a means to activate repeated musical sounds: the latter are to be heard every time a needle strikes a string, when attracted by a magnet. The sounds reproduced in this edition were recorded in 1993 by Samon Takahashi at Takis’ retrospective at Jeu de Paume in Paris. Takis participates in 1984 at the exhibition titled The Century of Kafka at Centre Pompidou in Paris and sound work with the same title is also reproduced on this LP edition. As an artist he seeks a natural origin for the construction of sound, and in particular that origin which is furthest removed from the artist’s arbitrary decision. For about 40 years now, it has been Takis’ purpose to investigate language as a natural function, conceiving function as a form of work. Furthermore, he has broken down the frontiers between sculpture and music in a number of pieces which can only be read by identifying their functionalism as structured units, with their morphological, visual and acoustic aspects. Edition limited to 380 copies with full-color sleeve, printed inner-sleeve reproducing a testimony by Marcel Duchamp and an insert with photos of the Pendules magnètiques and a testimony by William Burroughs.” FREE SHIPPING ON PURCHASES OF THREE OR MORE ITEMS! The only exception being if the shipping classes for the desired items are different. For example, books, records, and tapes are all media mail, but clothing is not, so if you buy two records and one shirt, I won’t be able to package the items together. If you want to make multiple purchases and the items all have different shipping options, feel free to contact me, and I’ll see what kind of deal I can offer. Listings with bundled items count as a single item. RETURNS: I do my best to list any item defects in my product description, therefore, I fully stand behind my merchandise and accept returns on most items. Complete buyer satisfaction is very important to me. In all cases, the buyer is responsible for paying the return shipping, and the item must be sent back in the exact same condition in which it was received, packaging fully intact. The return will not be honored if the item is returned to me in worse condition than it was received. I deduct a 10% restocking fee on returns resulting from anything that is not an oversight on my part, such as buyer’s remorse or failing to read the item description. Every now and then, I’ll sell something “as-is”, in which case the return policy will be clearly stated in the description. In most cases, though, returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase. I just ask that you notify me of any issues before you send the item back. A few notes on the condition of vinyl records:I generally don’t grade any items mint, since records and packaging sometimes have minor cosmetic flaws that one can’t see if the shrink wrap is still sealed. However, I do my best to mention any visible flaws in the item description, and I’m usually very thorough. I’m happy to give more details on, or send photos of, any item upon request, so please feel free to ask. Please be aware that I don’t guarantee sound quality or anything that could be considered a common quirk of vinyl production, as I don’t have any control over the manufacturing process. Some pressings are noisier than others, and sometimes a record will have a slight wobble or some other imperfection. Some pressings are better than others, and that’s just the nature of vinyl. If something is clearly damaged, though, that’s a different story, in which case, I’m willing to accept a return. Also, I’m happy to open the shrink wrap and ship any record outside of the sleeve to prevent sleeve splits. If you don’t state a preference, I’ll assume you prefer the record remain sealed, in which case I’m not to be held responsible for any splitting that may occur. Thanks for understanding!
