Maciunas Ensemble has been played on NTS shows including AD 93 w/ Tasker, with A Wide, White World first played on 2 July 2017.

Part art project, part socio-musical experiment, the Maciunas Ensemble was set up by Netherlands-based artists Paul Panhuysen and Remko Scha and rock guitarist Jan van Riet. Named after Fluxus founder George Maciunas, this trio—who later expanded to larger lineups with a flexible membership—convened every weekend to play music, record their sessions, and discuss them after listening. The music was to be free in form—the musicians chose their instruments (piano, violin, saxophone, but also toys and a wild array of instruments from ethnic traditions) and what to do with them on the spur of the moment. There were to be no leaders, and no followers. No specific aim was set beforehand, either in the weekly sessions or on a longer term. The ensemble performed only very sporadically in public. In the discussions afterwards, the ensemble reflected on their performance and on the quality of what they had just produced; and then decided to keep or erase the recording, entirely or in part. The archived recordings were then listened to and discussed again every six months, resulting in further pruning.
