"44½: Live & Unreleased Works" is the title of the 12-CD-2-DVD box Art Zoyd released at the end of 2017. This is not an exhibition of the countless albums of the French avant-garde band founded in 1968. Instead, the box gathers unpublished recordings and various live material. A battle of material, which gives deep insights into the secrets and the essence of this legend of the Rock In Opposition movement. eclipsed spoke with Gérard Hourbette, who since the beginning of the 70s together with Thierry Zaboitzeff and after his departure in 1997 until today alone shapes the fate of Art Zoyd, not only about "44½" but also about the history of the band.
