74'

74' is a series of compilations which wanted to question the technical and temporal restraints tied to the CDr medium. 74' was declined in 99 tomes of 74 minutes each (the maximal length recordable on an ordinary CDR). The first CD in the series, 74'01, features 74 minutes of music from one artist. The second CD in the series, 74'02, features two artists contributing 37 minutes of music each: 2 X 37 = 74'. The third CD features three artists, each contributing 24 minutes 39.99 seconds of music: 3 X 24:39.99 = 74'. And so on. This was the schedule for the first ten volumes in the 74' series: 74’01: 74 mins: Boulder Dash 74’02: 37 mins: Hypo / Andrew Duke.
