[Radio Web MACBA]

Have* you ever heard of Broken Music and anti-records?*
<http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20110711/memorabilia_edveenstra_eng.pdf>

Dutch collector *Ed Veenstra *collects all kinds of music-objects by
plastic artists (a total of around 3,500) who have worked with sound at
some point in their careers, also known as Broken Music. Records, but also
what he calls “anti-records,” strange, impossible and unclassifiable
formats that approach the object from a radically different perspective and
exceed the traditional functions of the medium. His thorough and detailed
collection and classification work sheds light on the art world’s
fascination with sound and music.
