Phantom Memories, Iambic Limbs

‘i hoped to see why i’d read so much into it that summer. his skin was cool and expressionless. his eyes looked warm but were clearly kidding, and with all that distance between us, he may as well have been gazing into my camera lens like he did several weeks later, standing in his doorway. that photo’s propped up in front of me this evening’

String of Hearts

HA (Cover)

@violentquandonaime
On the outskirts of the Parisian sprawl, we drift through the evening hush, our steps tracing the edges of a world half-lit.
The air crackles—charged, restless. Somewhere, we hear the city hums, a distant, roaring tide.
And there is this stranger, curious, starry-eyed, looking at us.
We stop, tilt our heads together, a faint smile :

« I scream, you scream ! Everyday is a new *silence*
It was all paradoxical
Fullness in the crisis

Silence is priceless »

Daisy Ray - once in a while

Darling

Lady Gaga, you once said in an interview that you write music for the fashion industry. Is fashion as important to you as music?

Artist/Album: Jan Jelinek presents Zwischen
Format: LP Vinyl/DL
Label#: faitiche17
Release date: May 4th 2018

Faitiche is delighted to release a short version of the radio play Zwischen (German for ‘between’). Devised and produced by Jan Jelinek for German public broadcaster SWR2, Zwischen brings together twelve sound poetry collages using interview answers by public figures. Each collage consists of the brief moments between the spoken words: silences, pauses for breath and hesitations in which the interviewees utter non-semantic sound particles. These voice collages also control a synthesizer, creating electronic sounds that overlay and merge with the voices to make twelve acoustic structures.

We all know the speaker’s fate: you falter, you mispronounce, there are breaks, silences and false starts. This results in delays, a language noise compared by Roland Barthes to the knocks made by a malfunctioning motor. Such gaps can be disconcerting, standing as they do for a failure of the speaker’s rhetorical skills. But what happens when they become a constitutive, poetic factor?

Zwischen consists of twelve answers to twelve questions. The answers were all recorded in interview situations. From the speech of the interviewees – all eloquent public figures – the pauses are extracted and edited together. The result is a series of sound collages of silence. But this silence is deceptive, as it is only meaning that falls silent. What remains audible is an archaic body language: modes of breathing, planning phases, seething word particles in search of sense that can break out into onomatopoeic tumult or drift off into sonorous noise.

In a further step, each of the twelve collages controls a modular synthesizer via its amplitude and frequency. Supposedly defective speech acts conduct synthetic sounds and the speakers regain their composure – not via the spoken word, but through sound.

The opening questions in the various interviews are answered by: Alice Schwarzer, John Cage, Hubert Fichte, Slavoj Žižek, Joseph Beuys, Lady Gaga, Ernst Jandl, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Marcel Duchamp, Friederike Mayröcker, Yoko Ono and Max Ernst.

Jan Jelinek: Lady Gaga, (...) Is Fashion As Important To You As Music?

hello sir would you like some coffee?
what are you doing, just standing around handing out coffee at 6am?
well when i was in the service, my dad sent me this book by the guy who started this company 
and every word... i wanted to BE that guy
and the guy who wrote it started this company 
you know... i used to have a corolla

I Was That Book

Pre-order: https://wherethetimegoes.bandcamp.com/album/frog-of-earth

The humble Frog of Earth ponders nothing as it watches its world unfold. Surprised with a sprinkling of rain the Frog quickly becomes overwhelmed and we hear the bubbling of its brain. As the shower passes, the Frog settles into a stupefied calmness and we can hear the swirling water rushing by and the clarity of the air. As panicking birds swoop and flutter around, the Frog is overcome by a fascination and an acceptance of its world. However, as a screeching train approaches and roars by, the Frog is taken from its acceptance and inverted into a world of denial and confusion where faint questions of how and why have seemingly no answer. But as the sun beams out from behind the clouds, the quiet drone of a bee goes by and the Frog, seeing its own glistening reflection, deftly lets go of its questions, and the need of any answers.

Frog of Earth is the debut LP by the Frog of Earth, and is available now to pre-order via bandcamp in single disc 12" vinyl, and in all digital formats. 

Worldwide distribution handled by Rubadub.
