Unique Copy Album by The Bianca Story

Unique Copy Album is a one-of-a- kind music album by the Swiss music group The bianca Story . In 2009 it was auctioned at an art auction and sold for 10,000 Swiss Francs. The 500 kg heavy sculpture was equipped with high-quality speakers and a sensor system that regulated the volume depending on the degree of opening of the cube . The idea was that when the pages were completely open, the album should be sufficient for a room sound system. The songs were switched on by closing the entire cube.

Emergence

Starting in October 2009, The Bianca Story released a free song each month including a video clip, which was ultimately to be released on a single physical sound carrier. For the members of the group it was of great importance that the mirror panels that adorned the cube were glued on by the members by hand. With the help of artist friends, this individual work was created in over three months of manual labor. An exhibition was held at the Glarus Art Museum around the presentation of the unique piece. The unique specimen was finally sold to the art collector Thomas Merian for 10,000 Swiss francs through the Gröflin & Maag gallery.

"Many thought we were insane," was one of the band's comments. The band addressed the question of the added value of their music publications and consciously reached out to the means of the art market. The one-off places this album more in the tradition of sculptural art. In terms of subject matter, the album refers to the continuation of albums in the tradition of Jean Michel Jarres Music For Supermarkets . The first reactions were also critical, but the hitherto unknown band was awarded a clever PR gag. The music group did not deny this effect, but the breaking up of common market structures in the music industry was more important to them. For the presentation of the Unique Copy Album , the group published a message: " There is an original from the Mona Lisa, and millions of postcards of it for everyone! We wanted to introduce this model into the music industry, quite simple, not? Happy to imitate! ". The great attention of this extraordinary release brought the music group u. a. later a contract with the German label Motor Music .
