In April 2023, there was released the first part of the Fluxus edition called Stolen Symphony. The year
has come and gone and there is the second part of the Fluxus edition called Keep Together.
At the centre of both parts of this edition was a broken piano, acquired by the Opening Performance Orchestra
for the purpose of making live and studio recordings.
During this time other new works for this broken piano were written by diverse Fluxus and non-Fluxus
composers. In the spring of 2022, the Opening Performance Orchestra and broken piano participated
in an event hosted by Mieko Shiomi. This was a new version of her early work Spatial Poem, documentation
of which was presented at the 2022 Aichi Triennale in Tokyo. At present, broken piano lies in the open air in Prague and is subject to gradual decay.


These both parts of this edition contain 73 new and old pieces, live and studio recordings, finished pieces and scores to be performed, solos and pieces for ensemble, using classical and special instruments from 33 Fluxus artists, which have been played by 10 soloists and 4 ensembles. There are new essays and articles from 15 writers on the theme Fluxus, original photos and other documentation in the booklets.

The Belgian label Sub Rosa provided technical support and a good place for the grand-scale release on 2LPs, 2CDs and digital. The audio restauration and mastering were done by Gabriel Séverin at Laboratoire central, Brussels, and Kakaxa, 3bees, Prague.
Archivio Conz in Berlin provided access to their extensive archives
and Edizioni Conz provided co-production. Ursula and René Block made possible the realisation of John Cage's historical composition Mozart Mix from the Edition Block archive.
The photographic material comes from Marie Knízáková and
Milan Knízák's private archive, the German photographer Wolfgang Träger, Archivio Conz's Fluxus archive, the private archives from diverse Fluxus artists and Opening Performance Orchestra's digital archive. We also received many valuable recommendations and contacts from Jon Hendricks. The cover themes are paintings by Milan Knízák, while the graphic design is the work of Jaroslav Buzek. The whole release is produced by re-set production.
