Un'autentica cornucopia traboccante di musiche e parole, immagini e racconti, storie, saggi, analisi e idee che rappresentano in sintesi cinquant'anni di progetti e iniziative - come compositore e come improvvisatore, da Henry Cow ad Art Bears, News from Babel, Cassiber, il trio/quintetto con Peter Blegvad, The Science Group, da solo e con decine di diverse formazioni - con moltissimi materiali editi e inediti, alcuni di grande valore storico, molti radunati in un doppio album (It Makes Sense to Me) che fa testo anche a sé stante: è il personale box antologico che Chris Cutler ha voluto dedicarsi rispettando le proprie iniziali, Compositions and Collaborations, 1972-2022, per offrirlo ad ascoltatori e sostenitori ovunque. Grazie!

"To make public a mass of unreleased material I decided to wrap this musical collection into a box. These 10 CDs (and a DVD) include over five hours of unreleased materials, my three previously released solo CDs (Solo, Twice Around the Earth and There and Back Again); plus a double CD collection of tracks spanning 50 years of official recordings (It Makes Sense to Me), as well as the 22-hour radio programme I made for Radio Art Zone last year (that’s on the DVD). 36 hours. Comes with 2 fat books of documentation, artwork, photographs, published and unpublished texts. For the avoidance of all confusion: of the 5 CDs of 'unreleased materials', 100 copies of 4 of them were privately printed for Japan (as CC100, 200, 300 and 400), so a few of you may have them. CC500, the two books and the DVD appear for the first time."
