Inspired by a short story by Alvaro de Carvalhal, a Portuguese writer who died in 1861 at the age of 23, and who was the author of unusual tales which were published posthumously, this libretto, written by Oliveira, is a complete transcription of his filmed opera The Cannibals.

Some of the earliest works by American composer Phill Niblock, including three never before released pieces: "Index" (1969), "Tenor," and "Boston III" (both from 1972). Until now, it's been impossible to encounter Niblock's compositions from earlier than the 1960s, a reality thankfully rectified by the long overdue publication of this LP on Alga Marghen.

This first issue of e-flux 's bimonthly publishing project presents the pieces published by e-flux in December 2023 and January 2024. The metadata gives some indication of its breadth, spanning 48 pieces, 52 authors, and over 150,000 words. Following its wider editorial ambitions to co-articulate multiple discourses, the Index removes the identity cards anchoring these pieces to their original provenance, and instead "meta-edits" them into nine emergent thematic strands.
