The great contemporary music ensemble, Apartment House, perform Lithuanian-born American artist George Mačiunas’s work, Music for Everyman (1961).

George Mačiunas Music for Everyman (1961) 60’
A music score for dead or living, human, animal and inanimate composers, November 1961.
In the early sixties fluxus co-founder and iconic artist George Mačiunas created a series of radical avant-garde compositions utilizing different scoring systems. The ‘ne plus ultra’ of this series was Music for Everyman, composed in 1961. A definitive DIY work, with a grid form to be filled in with chosen sounds and durations by the performers. The resultant piece is a mammoth work of chaotic, concrete sounds, underpinned by a strict logic and construction.
