Bernard Heidsieck "Canal Street" 3LP Box privately issued by the artist (SEVIM DF 1) in 1986. Edition limited to 500 signed and numbered copies. This copy No. 102/500.  ****** 3xRec:m / Box:vg+++ ****** This 3LP box set edition privately issued by Bernard Heidsieck in 1986 in a signed edition of 500 numbered copies is among the most legendary artifacts from this pioneering french sound-poet who, along with nemesis Henri Chopin, laid out the groundwork for text-based sound performance and tape collage for decades to come. Paying homage to William Burroughs and Brion Gysin "Electronic Revolution", to New York and Fluxus Movement through 35 Canal Street manipulations. And in particular a work created through and dedicated to the tape recorder, this colossal series of short pieces was recorded at Heidsieck home in July 1976 after four years of preparation. Bernard Heidsieck, a multimedia poet, finds his origins in action poetry and is one of the cofounders of sound poetry with Henri Chopin, when, in 1959 they started to use recorders and microphones not simply as reproductive tools but as transformative mixing devices. He published his first book of poems in 1955 and started shortly after his first recording experiences. He participated in the different avant-gardes festivals of the 60’s in Paris, particularly the rare Fluxus evenings before starting to organize his own events at home or elsewhere, evenings of lecture, performances, and sound poetry in the 70’s at the Soleil Noir in Paris. He is the co-founder with Jean Jacques Lebel in the 80’s of the international festival Polyphonix.
