Not only the longest one sided record you ever heard, possibly the longest 45 minutes you sat through in general!

Café In The Sublime Void (Part 2) is a reference pool of sorts, a document against forgetting. 'Café In the Sublime Void' is a memory based series of artworks and editions Tyfus started working on a year ago to combine the endless stream of stories -both true and untrue - he came across in the past 45 years with whatever is happening today and tomorrow. The indication of this series came from a re-discovered video Tyfus' father made of him visiting the groupexhibition 'The Sublime Void' during 'Antwerpen 93' at KMSKA when Antwerp was the cultural capital of Europe. Both his father and Tyfus have no memory at all of visiting this exhibition. It urged Tyfus to start writing down or working with the memories that are still vivid.

For this 45 minute long record, the audio that was made for the first 'Café In The Sublime Void' videowork (shown at Tim Van Laere Gallery in the exhibition 'Tattooed Tears Of Joy' 25/01 - 16/03/2024) were chopped up in a No Choice Stylee by the Icelandic artist Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson, who does not understand the type of Dutch in which this recording was made. The original recording was made by musician Pieter-Jan De Smet.

We made the record in conjunction with the '4'50" Is The New 4'33" happening at Het Bos in Antwerp (12/12/2024), a megalomaniac event where 45 artists performed for 4 minutes and 50 seconds each.

Limited to 45 copies plus artist proof copies, dedicated and signed for every participant of the event at Het Bos. Comes with the original text and an English translation of the text, both in a wonderful design by Jeroen Wille and a silkscreen on side B.

Includes unlimited streaming of Café In The Sublime Void (Part 2) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Notes:
The original recordings that were cut up for this record, were used as a looped audio piece for Dennis Tyfus’ video 'Café in the Sublime Void (Part 1), 1993–2024' (Video, color with sound, 13'52"). The video was shown at Tim Van Laere Gallery during Dennis ­Tyfus’ exhibition '­Tattooed Tears of Joy' (25 January – 16 March, 2024). ‘Café in the Sublime Void’ is a series of memory based works. Dates, size, format, and the way it appears, depend on the state of the epibrator’s memory. This 45 minute long one sided record was made in conjunction with ‘4'50" is the new 4'33"’. A megalomaniac happening at Het Bos in Antwerp (12 December 2024), with 45 live performances of 4'50" each. Silkscreen on the flip side of the vinyl and comes with double sided silkscreened cardboard. This edition is limited to 45 numbered copies and 45 AP’s.
