5th installment in the ongoing research project by DE PLAYER (Rotterdam) & KRAAK (Ghent) on where and how language transforms into music.
One possible answer: the point where language loses its meaning and dissolves into pure matter, through repetitions, mutations and deconstruction, whether aided by technology, cut-ups and tape manipulation or not.
The origin of the series was a shared obsession with the work of vocal poets such as Henri Chopin, Byron Gysin, Lars-Gunnar Bodin and the Revue OU Catalogue. In three editions, she presents the current state of affairs with regard to the language-matter-music issue by bringing together modern-day vocal poets, text-sound composers and pioneering avant-garde work since the 1950s.
