A total of 50 remedy songs accumulated in the pharmacy’s jukebox, providing musical treatment for all kinds of problems, both minor and profound. PUBLICATION OF A BOOK In November 2025, Louis Jucker publishes the book “A Pharmacy of Songs,” a complete collection of these songs. The book will be published jointly by Ripopée (Nyon, Switzerland) and Humus Records (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland).
It is a paperback book of around 200 pages, containing all of the pharmaceutical “notes” describing the remedies offered, classified by a thematic table of contents (according to the ailments targeted, the parts of the body concerned, the type of recommended dosage, etc.), song lyrics, and a set of photographs documenting the two installations created in 2024, in order to reflect the conditions under which these songs were produced.
Online Jukebox This book is linked to an online platform that works like a jukebox: a digital keypad allows you to call up each song in the collection, which appears on the screen in the form of a VHS video clip, as well as a scan of the original notes from the pharmacist’s file. The songs can be purchased digitally via the Humus Records webshop, or you can order a custom-made single 45 rpm vinyl record if you want to enjoy the remedy at home.
