Storia e vicende della gloriosa Free Music Production e ragguagli in merito alle sue iniziative future: dopo l'emozionato intervento offerto l'anno scorso al Cafe Oto a Londra nei giorni dell'omaggio a Peter Brötzmann torna a parlarne oggi - questa volta a Chicago, ospite della galleria d'arte Corbett vs. Dempsey - Markus Müller, curatore delle retrospettive a Monaco (Haus der Kunst, 2017) e Berlino (Akademie der Künste, 2018), autore dello splendido volume FMP: The Living Music (Wolke, 2022) tratto da esse e attuale responsabile del catalogo dell'etichetta assieme a Anna Maria Ostendorf.
Corbett vs. Dempsey is pleased to welcome Markus Müller, who will talk about his personal involvement with Free Music Production, which includes working on exhibitions at the Haus der Kunst, Munich, and the Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg, Berlin, in 2017 and 2018 respectively. These shows resulted in Müller's book Free Music Production: FMP: The Living Music. Müller will focus on the specific FMP/Chicago relationship, exemplified by Peter Brötzmann’s commitment to the city and John Corbett’s numerous activities beginning in the 1990s. Furthermore he will contextualize the remarkable recent focus on the label and various musicians FMP worked with, including the appearance of books on Hans Reichel, Cecil Taylor, and Peter Brötzmann that were published in the last two years. Müller inherited FMP from Jost Gebers in 2024 and will also sketch his future plans for the imminent reawakening of the label in the course of this year.
