Boks+2008-2013+(album)


 * Boks 2008-2013** is a "box set" collecting all the **Fluxusboks** shows[[image:Boks-open.jpg width="560" height="495" align="right"]] from September 2008 until May 2009 on a USB stick in a wooden box, including 30 minutes all new Fluxusboks. That's 9 hours of noise, drones, rhythms, voices, babble, sample jamming and a lot more. It was released on September 3, 2013, exactly 5 years after the first airing of the "Herpa hadet-sang" episode.

The opening jingle to each show contains a sample of "The Start" by Deborah Tyzio (The Land of Deborah). It was initially used unsolicited (for the airing of the shows), but Deborah has kindly approved of its use on this release.

Catalog number, issues, releases
The usb-in-a-box was released on the label Eonel Sound, on September 3, 2013, with catalog number //ES0028USB//. The box was hand carved wood, painted black and with the Fluxusboks logo stickered to it.

The album might or might not be released digitally, meaning, in this case, available for download on the internet.

Musical and lyrical concepts
The concept behind the radio show Fluxusboks was in many ways nothing more than to make an "unlistenable" radio show, or to make "anti radio". Drawing influence from the Fluxus movement and their fluxus boxes, Eth tried to make "art amusement", and echoes the words of George Maciunas in the intro to each show: "Art-amusement must be simple, amusing, unpretentious, concerned with insignificances, require no skill or countless rehearsals, have no commodity or institutional value."

Releasing it will probably not add much of a "commodity" to it. It is not released for profit. It is released for the value of its history, though insignificant.
