text-sound art and sound poetry

with a background about the fylkingen language group and surrealism

 

short class with johannes bergmark (stockholm)

surrealist, electroacoustic- and text-sound- composer, sound poet, performance artist, sound sculpture maker

 

introducing lecture:

i will talk about the two major poetic movements that have been a crucial influence on me:

            - text-sound art (or text-sound composition) is a concept named by two of the major proponents of this intermedia art form at fylkingen in stockholm. i trace this history back to concrete poetry, a concept co-invented by another swedish artist. the movement is very varied and international, though. i’ll play excerpts from this history and discuss the concepts.

            - surrealism is often misunderstood as an art movement, but is now an almost 100 years old living movement where the poetic phenomenon is at he centre of the quest for human emancipation. i look at the specific surrealist concept of poetry and also the largely unknown and hidden history of surrealism and music – and specifically about the sound poetry expressions within the movement.

 

class activity:

- text-sound work

- sound poetry work

- vocal improvisation

 

preparations:

no specific preparations are necessary – however, the participatory part of the workshop is based on interactions with the participating individuals. depending on your specific interests, you are welcome to bring:

            - possible compositions, recorded works, poems etc that you think would be interesting to hear/see or discuss, your own or someone else’s, in this circumstance

            - sound editing equipment (on your laptop) if you are working on something that you would like to keep working on and share, or if you would like to start doing experiments with new recordings or recordings that you bring

            - paper and pens, crayons etc if you want to work with written or graphic poetry as a basis for vocal performance

            - recording equipment if you want to make your own recordings

at the sfd, there is a mixer, microphones and speakers for trying out things.
