EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the avant-garde spirit of the 1960s, this intriguing photograph showcases cellist Charlotte Moorman rehearsing at 18 Carlton House Terrace for her unique sound effect concert. Accompanied by her Korean assistant Mr Nan June Paik, Moorman explores a vast array of unconventional instruments and objects to create her distinct sonic landscape. In this image, we witness Moorman surrounded by an assortment of curious items that she skillfully incorporates into her performance. From gongs and chains to empty beer cans and even a hot-plate, each element adds its own peculiar resonance to the composition. The room is filled with an eclectic mix of sounds produced by electric light bulbs, ancient cymbals, toy guns, masks, and even the mating call of a duck - all blending harmoniously with Moorman's mesmerizing cello playing. Moorman's dedication to pushing artistic boundaries is evident in her quest for unusual additions like the casing of a 100 lb bomb. Her relentless pursuit of new sounds demonstrates her unwavering commitment to innovation within music. Photographed by Bela Zola on September 22nd, 1968, this print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in musical history. It serves as a testament not only to Moorman's talent as both a cellist and performance artist but also highlights the experimental nature that defined the era.
