300 copies. This is a 32 page perfect bound book of photographs by Fredrik Nilsen documenting 3 months in 1976 when we members of the Los Angeles Free Music Society, aka the LAFMS, occupied studios in the 35 South Raymond building in what was then the derelict district of Old Town Pasadena. Some images were taken as promotional photos for our upcoming infamous performances at the Brand Library & Art Center in Glendale, California in July of that year. Others show the general mayhem that transpired in an ultra creative moment in the history of this experimental sound art collective. The LAFMS was officially founded in 1975 and continues to this day in various collaborating ensembles and individuals. Depicted are legendary sound artists including Joe and Rick Potts, Tom Recchion, Dennis Duck Mehaffey, Chip Chapman, Juan Gomez, and Harold Schroeder.
