Summary
"The book is dedicated to the history of the music label Free Music Production (FMP), which, as a Berlin platform for the production, presentation and documentation of music, achieved incomparable achievements from 1968 to 2010. Based on many conversations over more than thirty years with key protagonists such as Peter Brötzmann or Jost Gebers, Markus Müller tells the success story of a musicians' initiative that arose in the context of the 1968 ideas of self-organization and self-determination and worked successfully in an international network for over 40 years. The thematic priorities are formats developed by the FMP, such as the Total Music Meeting and the Free Music Workshop, the production of sound recordings, relationships with GDR musicians, FMP and women, the internationally groundbreaking collaboration with Cecil Taylor (who also wrote a text by Diedrich Diederichsen dedicated) as well as the FMP and its interdisciplinary border crossings. The book builds on the large FMP exhibitions curated by Müller in Munich and Berlin, but goes far beyond that in many aspects. Due to the unrestricted access to the FMP Publishing Archive in Borken, there are countless documents and photos from the history of FMP that have been published for the first time."--Publisher.
