CANAL STREET NO 10 / 11 / 23 / 24. 1983. MASTER REEL TO REEL FOR SLOWSCAN LP OF SAME NAME WITH SIGNED LETTER.

12cm, original Agfa reel to reel tape in original 13 x 13cm, one part folding box with hand-written label by Heidsieck. The music on the tape is the master provided by the musician and visual poet for the very first Slowscan release of sound poems in 1983.

Heidsieck’s contribution to the release was four works – Canal Street 10 – 3:33, Canal Street 11 – 1:47, Canal Street 23 – 1:26 and Canal Street 24 – 1:59 all of which are on the tape.

JOINT:

Paris: Heidsieck, 20 Mai 1983

30 x 21cm, 1pp typed letter signed from the artist to Jan Van Toorn with details of the recordings and noting the four sound works were not published elsewhere on records or cassettes and were taken from “a set of 50 Ecritures/collages realised in 1973” and “registered” (recorded) in 1976. The letter also references a text about the works in the book “Colloque de Tanger II”.

The letter is a little damaged from where it has been torn out of a ring binder and on the back there is a small amount of irrelevant blue ink text. It is also folded several times for inclusion in the tape box.

PRICE IS FOR TAPE AND LETTER TOGETHER.
