TEXT-SOUNDS COMPOSITIONS. A STOCKHOLM FESTIVAL
Back in stock. “Fylkingen Records in collaboration with the Swedish Radio released a series of LP records with text-sound compositions between the years of 1968-77. All of these were documentations of the international festival Text-Sound Compositions. A Stockholm Festival, which Fylkingen presented in Stockholm several times during these years. Most of the LPs were only pressed in batches of about 400-500 records, and most of the LPs sold out during the festivals. A re-release had long been planned, and this 5 CD box marks the complete re-release of the complete recordings. Apart from the 5 CDs with in all ca 6 hours of material, the CD box contains a 60 page booklet with essays by Teddy Hultberg and Sten Hanson, as well as historical photographs taken by Lütfi Özkök during the festivals.
The term text-sound composition was coined in 1967 in Sweden by the composers/writers Lars-Gunnar Bodin and Bengt Emil Johnsson, and was meant to serve to name a genre that was a vital art form in the no man’s land between sound, poetry, and music. Text-sound compositions had influences from previous modernistic waves such as futurism, dadaism, lettrism, etc., but perhaps the most important influence was the Swedish poet and visual artist Öyvind Fahlström, who had just over a decade earlier coined the term "concrete poetry". The term concrete poetry related to Pierre Schaeffer’s concrete music, and it is somewhere between concrete poetry and concrete music that text-sound compositions appear. The birth of the electronic music studio and concrete music’s idea that every sound can be freed from its original context and given a new meaning when it is reworked and put together with other sounds in the electronic music studio became the catharsis for text-sound composition. In the electronic music studio, voice and language sounds can be broken down, unleashed, and then fused together to become a poetry that had never been heard before. Certain text-sound composers would come to work only with pure lingual sounds, but most eventually came to integrate lingual sounds with other sounds, both concrete and electronic.
The CD box contains works by the following text-sound composers and sound poets: Charles Amirkhanian, Lars-Gunnar Bodin, Svante Bodin, Henri Chopin, Bob Cobbing, François Dufrêne, Gust Gils, Jarl och Sonja Hammarberg-Åkesson, Sten Hanson, Bernard Heidsieck, C. Christer Hennix, Åke Hodell, Bengt Emil Johnsson, Sandro Key-Åberg, Bengt af Klintberg, Ilmar Laaban, Annea Lockwood & Harvey Matusow, Arrigo Lora-Totino, Ghérasim Luca, Arne Mellnäs, Franz Mon, Ladislav Novák, Dieter Roth & Emmett Williams, Erik Thygesen, Paul de Vree.”

Mecha/Orga (Greece). Mecha/Orga is the project of Yiorgis Sakellariou. Since its inception in 2003, Yiorgis has released a number of albums and performed his work internationally. He is actively involved with contemporary and experimental music in Greece through his CD-R label Echo Music and as a member of the Centre of Contemporary Music Research and the Hellenic Electroacoustic Composers Association. Adam Asnan (UK). This work, as its title suggests, can be best described as a presentation of materials analogous to a grumble, rustle, gurgle or rasp. As the dialogue and interplay between these materials takes form,
periodic lapses give way to variations of perceived obedience and stillness. The retention and encouragement of selected artifacts produced by technological idiosyncrasies or human agency in operation) provide for extra dimensions of punctuation, interruption and diversion. By allowing the sounds of the apparatus to remain, a juxtaposition between the acousmatic window and its inherent
artificiality is suggested. With a predilection for the classic theoretical/aesthetic framework of musique concrète, Adam’s work focuses primarily on the variable natures of sound capture, exploration and projection, often utilising the playback device and/or loudspeaker as an instrument in itself. Pauwel De Buck (Belgium). Neenah Foundry is a multi-channel composition constructed from field recordings which were made in the courtyard of an apartment building and in the cafeteria of Sint-Lukas art academy in Gent. The premise for this work was the contrast between these two sound environments. Due to the enclosed nature of these spaces, the surrounding sounds of the city were heavily filtered; only a residue was audible in the courtyard. The overpopulated cafeteria, in combination with its bad acoustics, created a complex frame of sound reflections and textures. Joshua Convey (USA). New York-based Joshua Convey creates textural, rhythmic and, perhaps surprisingly, melodic compositions by weaving traditional instrumentation (guitar, harmonica), field recordings and electronics to create moody tension between the different sounds. Joshua is also a member of Fessenden, a trio with Stephen Fiehn and Haptic’s Steven Hess.
Adrián Democ (Slovakia). For flute, soprano and string quartet. Adrián begun studying composition in Brno (Czech Republic) in 2003. Since then, his work has been commissioned and performed across Europe. He is also an improvising player of the fujara and other traditional Slovakian wind instruments. Mastered by Themistoklis Pantelopoulos. Edition of 500 copies.
