Ssanie W Trabieniu Na Smykalce Do Ciaglego Oddawania
Ssanie w trąbieniu na smykałce do ciągłego oddawania (Sucking in a Honking with Gumption for The Constant Giving Back) is the audiobook version of enigmatic Polish author and poet Andrzej Szpindler’s novel of the same name. Read relentlessly by the author over the course of more than 160 minutes in the high-speed style of the disclaimers that can be heard at the end of pharmaceutical and political advertising, Ssanie is set to the author’s own music (of a sort). Szpindler processes his voice, ho…
Opacity and Oblivion
Yet another incredible offering from one of the most exciting artists working today, Sloowtapes’ latest cassette from Louise Landes Levi - "Opacity & Oblivion" - takes deep dive into her multifaceted world. Joined by Ash Martin and Dok Gregory on various acoustic and percussion instruments, as well as Kelvin Daly on a number of his own custom made instruments, Levi’s poetic utterances and Hindustani tinged vocals weave the etherial, mysterious, and ritualistic into a delicate, droning and percus…

Antilogy
Drawing from notions of "bad poetry" as the critical undoing of normative taste, Antilogy brings together works by the Brazilian artist and poet Alex Hamburger. Central to Hamburger's practice and engagement with poetry is a focus on writing as the expression of a performative disruption and playful reworking of semiotic systems. With references to Fluxus intermediality, Brazilian concretism, experimental music, and sound poetry, Hamburger's work dynamically collapses the distinctions between fa…
Namely
If an artists’ work is a composite of influences from others, Beth Anderson’s Namely inverts that notion, creating a work from the names themselves of her influencers. The album consists of 65 short pieces, each using the name of one of Anderson’s varied influences as source material. Anderson applies a generative procedure to each name to create a text-sound poem that is performed as a vocal piece by the composer. The collection of names reveals the intermedia nature of Anderson’s work — from t…
10 + 2: 12 American Text Sound Pieces
The best-selling recording in the history of American sound poetry, 10+2 was a novelty at the time of its release in 1975, when unpitched speech was rarely used outside of literary circles as performance material. Out of print for 20 years and available now for the first time on CD, this definitive anthology of speech music by composers, writers, and artists contains examples of the best work of Charles Amirkhanian, Beth Anderson, Robert Ashley, John Cage, Clark Coolidge, Charles Dodge, John Gio…

Supported by Levy Gorvy Gallery, the album’s cover features artwork by the legendary painter Pat Steir. Derived from Greek, sciamachy means shadow war.

Le Martien / Allo maman
Charles Pennequin is an unconventional poet who tells us here the sidereal aggression of a Martian who has not yet cut the cord. On the CD contained in the book, he interprets his text three times: twice in the company of the guitarist Jean-François Pauvros, and another time alone, but with a megaphone. Charles Pennequin (born 1965 in Cambrai, France) is a writer and performer, an essential figure in French contemporary poetry. Jean-François Pauvros (born 1947 in Hautmont, France) is a French mu…

Ursonate
Beginning in 1975, Eberhard performed Kurt Schwitters’s Ursonate over a hundred times (though he did not, as was incorrectly stated in an obituary that appeared in a Berlin newspaper [6], give the premiere). In addition to his work as a musician and vocal performer, Eberhard mastered the art of designing intelligently thought-through concert programs—“Positions of the modern” (1988), “Stations of musical modernism” (1989), “Stefan Wolpe and the musical avant-garde” (1990), “With other ears” (199…
Work
This is a brilliantly weird and hypnotic record, featuring pretty much nothing but the voice of conceptual artist Hanne Lippard reading a variety of texts typical of our digital age - things like autoresponders, FAQ’s, social media posts, bot-generated spam mail etc (or as she calls it ‘degenerate, or “b-language”) as a continuation of her ongoing investigation of the differences between the spoken and the written word. The result is entrancing, funny/sad in an almost Larkinian way and highly th…

** Limited edition of 70. The cassette comes with a laser printed insert** William Stanley Merwin was born in New York City in 1927. When he was ten years old, his family moved to Scranton, Pennsylvania, where his love of nature and interest in man’s relationship to the environment developed.

After having attended Princeton University, Merwin and his then wife …
