ORGANIC MUSIC SOCIETIES

Archival documents and new writings on the intermedia collaborations of avant-garde jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and textile artist Moki Cherry.

Don Cherry and Moki Karlsson met in Sweden in the late '60s. They married and began to perform together, dubbing their mix of communal art, social and environmental activism, children's education and pan-ethnic expression “Organic Music”. There, Keith Knox assembled Tågarp Publication Number One to document the collectivistic practices blooming under the guidance of Cherry. Reproduced here, the text includes interviews with Terry Riley, Don Cherry and much, much more.
