Maciunas Ensemble – 1976

In the printshop of the HKU School of the Arts we used the letterpress to make the sleeve for the Maciunas Ensemble.
Act, react and improvise, the method of Maciunas Ensemble too!

‘This music is literally polyphonic—a composition of multiple voices. The members of the ensemble do not engage in virtuoso playing. Although each may go down his individual path, no one attempts to outdo the others in exuberant soloing. Their approach to improvisation bears none of the hallmarks of jazz. It is a group effort. They operate as a band in the anthropological sense: a small, mobile, and fluid social formation without clear-cut leadership.’
– from the liner notes by René van Peer
