Vand'Œuvre

Vand'Œuvre is the record label of the CCAM (Centre Culturel André Malraux), the national stage (Scène Nationale) of Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, France. The label's musical project is to preserve and document the musical events produced by the CCAM, in particular those of the Musique Action festival. Its first record was released in 1985. The catalogue focuses on experimental, improvised, and contemporary music, with releases by artists such as Daunik Lazro, Michel Doneda, Lê Quan Ninh, Joe McPhee, Evan Parker, Pascal Comelade, and many others. The label uses a catalogue numbering system (e.g., vdo 8501, vdo 1541) that reflects the year of release. In 2008, the book 'Défrichage sonore', a collection of interviews around the Musique Action festival by Henri Jules Julien, was published by Le Mot et le Reste. Vand'Œuvre remains active, with recent releases such as Anthony Laguerre's 'VDO 1952' and ERIKM / Anthony Pateras's 'VDO 1951'.
