Musics was a music-related magazine that was published from 1975 to 1979.[1]

In 1975 Derek Bailey,[2][3] Steve Beresford,[2][4] Max Boucher,[2] Paul Burwell,[2][5] Jack Cooke,[2] Peter Cusack,[2][6] Hugh Davies,[2] Mandy and Martin Davidson,[2] Richard Leigh,[2] Evan Parker,[2] John Russell,[2][7] David Toop,[2] Philipp Wachsmann[2] and Colin Wood[2] came together and agreed to produce a magazine.[6]

It was independently published and dedicated to the coverage of free improvised music.[8] Its need was suggested in a conversation between Evan Parker and Mandy and Martin Davidson.[2] The title was proposed by Paul Burwell at the first meeting in the Davidsons' house and unanimously adopted.

Musics, headquartered in London, has not been published since 1979.[1]

In 2016 the Ecstatic Peace Library published Musics: A British Magazine of Improvised Music & Art 1975–79,[9] a facsimile reprint of all issues of the magazine with a foreword by Steve Beresford, an introduction by David Toop, and afterword by Thurston Moore.[10][11][1][8] Eva Prinz and Thurston Moore hosted an exposition on the magazine and the book, covering it at the Red Gallery on Rivington Street in London in July 2017.[12]
