EDUARD ESCOFFET

Urusonēto is a sound work by the french artist Wladimir Schall based on the Ursonate, also known as Sonata in Urlauten or the "Sonate of primitive sounds", a phonetic poem composed between 1922 and 1932 by Kurt Schwitters and influenced by his meeting with Raoul Hausmann in 1921 in Prague, where he saw him reciting his poem "FMSBW". (>See RH's phonetic poems on Erratum Musical in 2019).
Wladimir Schall did not start reciting the poem himself, but preferred to entrust the task to "someone else": the japanese voice of google translate. Thus, Schall puts in tension two registers that everything separates a priori : that of human phrasing, primitive and brutal, with that of the most elaborate artificial intelligence - supposedly.
This diverted synthetic Japanese voice gives here a new prosody, sharp, hypnotic and far from yet another classic human interpretation of the ursonate. Temporality is also transformed, because Google does not like silence. No pauses, no breaths, the AI ​​blasts the onomatopoeia in delirious rows in a new glossolalia, even an exalted mediumistic xenoglossy, ultralanguage that makes one think of an AI possessed, but by whom, by what? It is here the alterity of the subject to itself, it is the inclusion of the ‘Other’ who speaks through this recording. But then, who are we really listening to? Who is the artist or what form of consciousness speaks, recites, sings here?
Glossolalia comes from the depths of time via tibetan shamanism and the ural steppes in russia, taking all sorts of forms. Multi-dimensional channeling, proto possession / post-Pentecostal cults, transcendental approach to AI, primordial inter-ethnic and mythological sounds... all theories collide and are equal. Let’s just listen - because a voice is a way, and the articulations of phonemes associated with an intention reveal magical mysteries that still elude us.

WLADMIR SCHALL - Urusoneto

This is the fourth release of the VOXXX series, a sound poetry magazine with 4 LP releases each year. A manifestation of poetry and voice, sound poetry and vocal art. A joined adventure by Erratum Musical (Paris) and Sonhoras (Barcelona). Precious cut and sound edition, along with beautiful artisan work made by hand in letterpress print.

Cia Rinne is a Swedish conceptual poet who lives in Berlin. She writes in a dual tradition of European sound poetry. Polyglot – she alternates English, French, Italian and German with a playful approach to concrete poetry archetypes with puns, visual gags, materiality of language, and effects of meaning. This LP brings out humorous linguistic permutations into sound through sonic compositions and minimal vocal repetitive works.

CIA RINNE

Extract from "KNVF" released on Erratum Musical on March 19th 2021. 

Following the release of her 2018 solo tape, Ggggg (Anticausal Systems), vocalist Charmaine Lee returns with her debut LP, KNVF, for Erratum Musical (Paris, France). In just two years, the album marks a considerable evolution from the austere concentration of Ggggg towards expansive sonic worlds. Inspired by the arcs of popular music, Charmaine freely and fearlessly navigates a wide range of aesthetics, digging beneath each surface to disclose a highly personal sense of musicality. Microphones of varying fidelities, contact mics placed on the throat, and amplified hair combs are used to simulate polyphony and a dialogue between the inner and outer body. With Charmaine’s unique vocal articulations atop a bed of feedback and extreme frequencies, form follows expression in an ever-evolving context built on the traditions of noise, vocal, and improvised music. KNVF is a powerful statement in modern vocal music and a thrilling new development in Charmaine‘s artistry that will reward those who listen for the journey.

Charmaine Lee (b. 1991) is a New York-based vocalist from Sydney, Australia. Her music is predominantly improvised, favoring a uniquely personal approach to vocal expression concerned with spontaneity, playfulness, and risk-taking. Beyond extended vocal technique, Charmaine uses amplification, feedback, and microphones to augment and distort the voice. She has performed with leading improvisers Nate Wooley, id m theft able, C. Spencer Yeh, and Ikue Mori, and maintains ongoing collaborations with Conrad Tao, Victoria Shen, Zach Rowden, and Eric Wubbels. Charmaine has performed at ISSUE Project Room, the Kitchen, Roulette, The Poetry Project, and MoMA PS1, and participated in festivals including Resonant Bodies, Huddersfield Contemporary, and Ende Tymes. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions including The Moon Represents My Heart: Music, Memory and Belonging at the Museum of Chinese in America (2019). As a composer, Charmaine has been commissioned by the Wet Ink Ensemble (2018) and Spektral Quartet (2018). In 2019, she was an Artist-in-Residence at ISSUE Project Room and is currently a 2021 Van Lier Fellow at Roulette. Charmaine is a member of the Editorial Board of Sound American.

Monstas' Marriage

Bares

This is the first release of the VOXXX series, a sound poetry magazine with 4 LP releases each year. A manifestation of poetry and voice, sound poetry or vocal art. A joined adventure by Erratum Musical (Paris) and Sonhoras (Barcelona). Precious cut and sound edition, along with beautiful artisan work made by hand in letterpress print.

PROTOVERB is the vinyl debut LP from multifaceted poet and musician Martin Bakero - who is mainly exploring the boundaries between sound, meaning, music, poetry, trance and psychiatry. He creates all this vocal material directly, with electroacoustics and hand made electronics, then spatializes it and makes it visible and tangible. From the first creative breath, he utters sentences, words, syllables and even more and more ‘’protoverbal’’ sounds and noises, in an attempt to propose a new relationship between real and imaginary, between words and things, sounds and meaning.

This is the space where the first archetypal sounds (breath, voice, verb) embedded in human collective unconscious got a twist and spread their swirling mysterious creative energy, where music and poetry can’t be split and divided anymore.

PROTOVERB is a rare « sound poetry » record, transcending the genre and bringing very ancient pneuma practices into a fresh joy and understanding about life and how reality manifests.

Limited edition of 300 copies, numbered all of them.

Poems, sounds and music: Martin Bakero, with the complicity of Joachim Montessuis on production and mix.
Realized in Paris and Barcelona, pre, during and post covid.
Mastered and cut by Frederic Alstadt / Angström Mastering, Brussels.

Released in digital 21st of June 2021 for summer solstice - vinyl release : 21st of September 2021.

HENRI CHOPIN - LES GOUFFRES DES BRONCHES SONT DES CAVERNES INFINIES
LP - EM026 - 2022
PRE-RELEASE
RELEASE DATE 1st of JANUARY 2022
TWO LIVE RECORDINGS + UNRELEASED TAPE + UNRELEASED CONFERENCE + INTERVIEW

Henri Chopin came to perform in Besançon in 1995 at Garage Caméléon the birthplace of Erratum Musical activities and the label. This place used to be a 300m2 garage where we lived, worked and organised noise performances and poetry actions from 1993 to 1998. When Henri Chopin arrived, he was 72 years old, calm and slow, and was delighted to meet a younger generation interested in sound art and electronic sound poetry experiments. He brought his tapes and we rented a powerful sound system that would be perfect to fill all of the space with his mouth noises. He then asked us to project the sound and follow his gestures concerning volumes and dynamic panning, and the resulting high pitch echos and feedback intensity along with the slowly melting speakers (audible here) gave him an incredible excitation and joy that we all could witness - and it was a contagious enthousiasm. Direct energy ! Henri Chopin was born in 1922, this LP is echoing his 100th anniversary and celebrates the passion he channeled and transmitted to many artists along his life and beyond.

Henri Chopin est venu à Besançon en 1995 au Garage Caméléon, lieu de naissance des activités d’Erratum Musical et du label. Les personnes investies étaient Michel Giroud (qui nous a fait rencontrer Henri Chopin et a fait publier “Poésie sonore Internationale”), Joachim Montessuis, Yvan Etienne et Masahiro Handa. Dans ce lieu de 300m2 nous avons vécu, travaillé et organisé des actions poétiques, performances et concerts bruitistes entre 1993 et 1998. Henri Chopin avait alors 72 ans, calme, lent et ravi de rencontrer une génération nouvelle qui s’intéressait à l’art sonore et à la poésie électronique expérimentale. Il apporta ses bandes, et nous avions loué une sono suffisamment puissante pour remplir la salle de ses bruits de bouche. Il nous a ensuite demandé de projeter le son en suivant ses indications gestuelles dynamiques concernant le volume et la balance. L’intensité résultante de ces sons percussifs amplifiés et perçés de souffles, d’échos et de larsens ainsi que les enceintes qui commençaient à craquer et fondre, tout cela lui procurait une joie et une excitation contagieuse dont nous avons été les témoins enthousiastes. Energie directe ! Plus tard en 2004 Henri Chopin nous a donné deux bandes à publier, la première pour le CD “La danse des tonneaux roulants et brisés” et la seconde était “Les gouffres des bronches sont des cavernes infinies”, qui a été diffusée pour la première fois sur France Culture en 2013 grâce à Thomas Baumgartner.
Henri Chopin est né en 1922, ce disque est en écho de son centième anniversaire et célèbre la passion qu’il a canalisée et transmise à différentes générations d’artistes tout au long de sa vie et au-delà.

HENRI CHOPIN - FRESQUES DE L'IMPALPABLE VOIX - LIVE @ GARAGE CAMÉLÉON | BESANÇON | 03 02 1995

new meta-poem from multilingual and polysonic voice artist Maja Jantar, this LP delivers two magni cent subtle and sensorial haunting pieces of free tonal modulations, exploring the voice as a tool to create musical textures shifting from free layered tones and vivid harmonics to free sound poetry channeling inner and outer streams of imaginary landscapes - where poetry walks into the eld of contemporary music.

Robin Minard - Monochrome mix

« Peintre oral et tailleur de mots », Michel Giroud aka Gerwulf El Coyote est depuis les années 1970 un personnage majeur de la poésie-action. Son oeuvre prend la forme éclatée de livres, de lectures, d’actions, d’interventions, de rencontres, de cercles et de revues. Il réalise ainsi un vieux projet qu’il nomme en 1990 Patata (patatologie) ou PTT (Poésie totalement totale) où l’ensemble de ces activités s’articule dans une sphère en mouvement permanent. En 1991, il fonde la Nomadique Université et en mai 1997 le festival Mille voix, 1000 voies et l’encyclopedia de l’Eternal Network. 
Ecrivain d’essais, pneumaticien, peintre oral, coureur de vitesse de fond, tailleur de mots, il apparaît sous la forme d’El Coyote et de loup-garou comme chanteur archaïque du chant-cri. Gerwulf, fondateur et gardien de l’Imperium Angelicum Magnificum (IAM) est l’ancêtre carolingien du Dauphinois Michel Giroud, historien et théoricien des avant gardes, auteur d’essais sur Audiberti, Nougaro, Vostell, Hausmann, Gette, Filliou. En parallèle de son travail d’artiste et de performer, Michel Giroud est éditeur, il a fondé les collections L’oeil Absolu au Chêne, Projectoires à Champ Libre, Trajectoires chez Jean-Michel Place et la collection L’Ecart absolu aux Presses du Réel qu’il dirige depuis 1998.
----
"Oral painter and word carver », Michel Giroud aka Gerwulf El Coyote has been a major figure in action poetry since the 1970s. His work takes the fragmented form of books, readings, actions, interventions, meetings, circles and magazines. He thus realizes an old project that he named in 1990 Patata (patatology) or PTT (Totally Total Poetry) where all these activities are articulated in a sphere in permanent movement. In 1991, he founded the Nomadic University and in May 1997 the festival ‘Mille voix / 1000 voies’ and the encyclopedia of the Eternal Network. Test writer, tyre artist, oral painter, long-distance speed runner, word carver, he appears in the form of El Coyote and werewolf as an archaic singer of scream-singing. Gerwulf, founder and guardian of the Imperium Angelicum Magnificum (IAM) is the Carolingian ancestor of the Dauphinois Michel Giroud, historian and theoretician of the avant gardes, author of essays on Audiberti, Nougaro, Vostell, Haussmann, Gette, Filliou. In parallel with his work as an artist and performer, Michel Giroud is a publisher, he founded the collections L'oeil Absolu au Chêne, Projectoires à Champ Libre, Trajectoires at Jean-Michel Place and the collection L'Ecart absolu at Presses du Réel, which he has directed since 1998.

EM030 KILL - STUDIO - Intro 5mn

After "Sleeping Beauty" in 2002, here is the second SOLO album (vinyl + digital) from the ultimate japanese voice! Very rare. The scream beyond all screams, the most incredible intensity within its simplest aspect, and maybe one of the last stage of poetry. Two years in the making, here it is finally, "THE VOID", a minimal masterwork with two tracks recorded in Paris : the first one with a raw direct naked voice approach - yet very clear and unheard as JUNKO has never recorded her full voice this way, and a second track with all of JUNKO's voice frequencies pushed to extremes for a wild excessive vocal trance.
Minimal, repetitive, obsessional : this is one of the keys to enter THE VOID.

Total performance : 110mn

REALITY (realityfilm.co.uk) had the honour of working with pioneering electronic composer Zbigniew Karkowski on two occasions. 
In 2007, as part of the Recording Angel Ensemble's accompaniment to Wojciech Has' film "The Saragossa Manuscript" at the National Film Theatre and finally, for the last time on the 31st October 2013 when, already gravely ill after learning 
that he had advanced pancreatic cancer, Karkowski premiered his music to the BBC 1954 teleplay production of George Orwell's "1984 - The Last Man in Europe" at London's Horse Hospital. It was to be his last public performance. 

Zbigniew died aged 55, just six weeks later on Thursday December 12th in the jungles of Peru 
where he had travelled seeking treatment with the Shaman healers of the Shipibo.
