The Belgian label Sub Rosa provided technical support and a good place for the grand-scale release on 2LPs, 2CDs and digital. The audio restauration and mastering were done by Gabriel Séverin at Laboratoire central, Brussels, and Kakaxa, 3bees, Prague.
Archivio Conz in Berlin provided access to their extensive archives
and Edizioni Conz provided co-production. Ursula and René Block made possible the realisation of John Cage's historical composition Mozart Mix from the Edition Block archive.
The photographic material comes from Marie Knízáková and
Milan Knízák's private archive, the German photographer Wolfgang Träger, Archivio Conz's Fluxus archive, the private archives from diverse Fluxus artists and Opening Performance Orchestra's digital archive. We also received many valuable recommendations and contacts from Jon Hendricks. The cover themes are paintings by Milan Knízák, while the graphic design is the work of Jaroslav Buzek. The whole release is produced by re-set production.
