'Harmonica Curse' is a fascinating long-term diary that Dieter Roth kept in sound and images. In the year 1981, far away in Iceland, the artist played 74 times for an hour on his accordion. He recorded this improvised music on cassette each time. The result is a set of 74 cassettes that Roth made into an edition along with Polaroid photos of his immediate environment. This intimate musical and photographic work, Harmonica Curse, is at one and the same time a private musical archive and a conceptual series that had remained unknown in its complete form until today.
