Résumé:
Audio-CD, playtime 50 minutes, 35 tracks. Including 8-pages booklet with drawings of the recorder, photos, and texts by Oswald Wiener and Jeremy Roht. For these field recordings of the nightly chanting of sled dogs from the Yukon-territory, Oswald Wiener did build a recorder by himself, which is, also at extreme outside temperatures, reacting to acoustic signals: "The peculiar enjoyability of this music, which - in contrast to much contemporary human music - stands the test of repeated listenings, forces one to the conclusion that, to the dogs at least, an abstract aesthetic experience constitutes the 'figure' of their play."

Résumé:
Audio CD, 24:43 Minutes. Originally released by Mass Art in 1966, the record never saw thorough distribution as the publisher went bankrupt shortly after its release. Later, in 1968, How to Make a Happening was distributed on a limited basis through Something Else Press—A laminated and silk-screened cover by Alison Knowles distinguished this edition from its predecessor. Simple in construction, yet profound in context, How to Make a Happening is Allan Kaprow delivering 11 rules on how, and how not, to make a Happening, a movement begun by Kaprow in the late fifties that is known for its unpredictability, open scores, and constantly-evolving form.
