"Radiophonic minutes of the search for a probably lost tape piece, and a reconstruction thereof with real instruments." Produced by Hessischer Rundfunk (Hessian Broadcasting Corporation), Germany, in 2015. When future Fluxus artist Ben Patterson (1934-2016) traveled to Germany in 1960 in order to study with Karlheinz Stockhausen, he brought along a tape piece that he had produced in Hugh Le Caine's electronic studio in Canada and that he wanted to show to Stockhausen. They met briefly in the context of the World Music Days of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) in Cologne, but Patterson immediately sensed that their aesthetic ambitions and viewpoints differed too much, and in the end, he didn't even present him his piece. Instead, his attention was drawn to the Contre Festival at Mary Bauermeister's studio, a counter event to the ISCM festival presenting works by George Brecht, La Monte Young, John Cage, amongst others. Virtually overnight, Patterson's aesthetic thinking changed radically, and the cornerstone was laid for his coming role within the Fluxus movement. In 2013, Stefan Fricke, editor for new music at Hessischer Rundfunk, approached Patterson about a broadcast of that old tape piece. Patterson didn't know it's whereabouts, so Fricke and him together with Cologne-based composer hans w. koch set out for a journey through Patterson's large collection of tapes, some labeled, some unlabeled, sometimes the labels not matching the contents. The journey was recorded with Patterson inserting and ejecting various cassettes, always commenting on what was being heard. In the end, the electronic piece couldn't be found, so it was decided to re-record it using various toys, instruments, and small devices. For the new recording, Patterson brought a score titled "The Three Required Musics" which he considered to be related to the tape piece and which required preparatory work in the form of cutting out colored pieces of paper and pasting them into a time grid. This LP contains the recording of the search on side A and the new recording of the score on side B. It is presented in a full-color sleeve showing a detail of hans w. koch's paper time grid, with liner notes by Stefan Fricke and hans w. koch, and two inserts: the first containing the original score "The Three Required Musics" with new notes by Ben Patterson, the other reproducing koch's complete paper score in A2 format. Edition of 300.

Amazingly nice watch!
Color: 2942 Silver Black
I'm a big watch guy. I own many watches, of various brands, styles, and colors, along with both an Android and Apple watch. I like being able to pick a watch that goes just right with what I'm wearing. All that being said, this watch is an excellent addition to my collection, and here are my thoughts after having worn it multiple times. This watch looks incredibly nice and is very well made for the price. It's currently around $50, and that's amazingly affordable considering the quality you get. I have the Silver Black version and it's gorgeous. It keeps time without issue and is easy to read, even in the dark thanks to a special coating that absorbs light. There are additional smaller dials inset that are also still easy to read, despite the smaller size. Setting time and date is easy, and I was able to adjust the band easily with the provided adjustment tool. This watch is on the heavier side and I like the feel of it, but I know some people prefer lighter watches, so keep that in mind. Nevertheless, I find it comfortable and classy. Overall, I really like this watch and I highly recommend it. At its current price, it's an instant buy.

Bold and Eye Catching Watch That Adds Style to Any Outfit
Color: 2942 Black Red
I picked up this OLEVS square face watch because I wanted something that stood out more than a basic everyday watch. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was how bold the design is. The large face and black with red accents really catch your attention, and it gives off a stylish look that works well with both casual and dressier outfits. One thing I really like about this watch is how much detail it has. The multiple dials give it a more high end look, and it feels like more than just a simple timepiece. The weight feels solid on my wrist without being uncomfortable, and the strap fits well once adjusted. I also like that it is easy to read the time, even with all the extra design elements. There are a couple small things I noticed after wearing it. The larger face may feel a bit bulky at first, especially if you are used to smaller watches. The design is also very bold, so it may not match every outfit depending on the look you are going for. Even with those small things, I have really enjoyed wearing it. It is a stylish and eye catching watch that adds personality and works well when you want something a little different.

Love the squarish shape dials are cool and helpful. ❤️‍🔥
Color: 2942 All Blue, Color: 2942 All Blue
There's a lot to love about this watch. The squared profile gives you that big watch look without being gaudy or ridiculous. The blue with gold accents look great with both dress and casual clothes, especially denim. I love this watch's features and I've gotten multiple compliments on it. great value all around. Here's what stands out to me: ✅ The blue with gold accents are really stunning and unique. I've had people start conversations with me over this watch. 👍 ✅ The squarish shape is complimentary for average and smaller wrists (doesn't look too bulky.) ✅ Gold accents look very distinguished, and the blue is great with jeans or a blue suit, very unique. ✅ The sun and moon dial is a beautiful feature that makes me happy. 🤷😅 ✅ The 24hr time dial is extremely helpful. I need to refer to military time so that's nice. 🪖💪 ✅ At a glance, the hands and accents are great for far-sighted folks like me. ✅ It's nice to have a date window at the bottom for quick reference. ✅ The linked watch band is comfortable and has a great symmetrical and slim profile that doesn't add bulk and doesn't pull at arm hair. ✅ The band does not sound hollow or jingle. (why I shake it in the video) ✅ The buttons and time setting are easy to access. I'm really enjoying the quality and look of this watch but if there are any changes in my opinion or its quality, I'll be sure to report back in. 🤞 I hope you found my notes, pictures and video useful. Be well! ❤️‍🔥

Highly detailed inner face wide and big very manly for a deserving man...
Color: 2942 Silver Black
On par with other Men's luxury Chronograph Dress watches with one exception that levels this up. This has a luminous markers activated when exposed to bright light for 20 seconds. That is something I really like, and not commonly found anymore. My other men's watch is a mechanical swiss watch that you can see the movements and rotaries inside very detailed. This may not have that but this is still very luxurious looking and feeling. This has the luminous markers while my other one doesn't but to be fair, that other one costs above $90, so this was a fair price for this luxurious Men's watch. I find this durable and the clasp gave me no issues.
