11 september transcript

11 september

Recording of Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen's "11 september." The text is from a document called "What is MIR?" which was sent out illegally in Chile in 1974 and from the appeal of MIR two years after the taking over by the junta, on September 11, 1975. A left-wing party, MIR stayed in Chile in order to contribute as efficiently as possible to the building of the opposition. Other sound material also includes sounds from a typewriter and a demonstration at Bastad, Sweden in September 1975 at a tennis match between Sweden and Chile with more than 4,000 participants. The text is taken in small excerpts from the document in Spanish, English, Swedish, Danish, French, Dutch, and Icelandic. The piece consists of three sections overlapping each other gradually, which shows the relationship between the spoken words and the immediate danger connected with that text. The first section "as a spontaneous statement," deals with the document at its direct background: the silence is broken, in spite of the danger connected with the writing, manifolding papers that criticize the politics and methods of the junta and discuss the strategy of the opposition. The second section deals with the document as a medium of discussion. At …

En Babel éclatée

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Michel Karsky's En Babel éclatée. Mourning waltzes around Besieged Babels. The man is in the world. And the creator is not exempted from being in the world with the full enjoyment of his faculties of intelligence and sensitivity of intimate and collective memory, echo of history and art. In addition, when he is a musician, the sense of dance works on his sound material until he imprints an irresistible program on him. How can a frail waltz subject become a song of mercy for a wounded humanity? How can an armful of the languages ​​of the earth bear witness suddenly to the history of human life, to their pains and their songs? How is the sensation amplified in the painful exchange in the attentive listener, open to the message of the things of the spirit, the resonance of being as cradled as a child, subjected to madness, wounded by history? With his personal writing, Michel Karsky once again takes up the challenge. His aesthetics of fragment, collage and superimposition, his subtle technique of intertwining themes and sound material, his lyricism of captured sounds, torn voices and his singular breathing produce here, in about thirty minutes, a block of …

Recording of Frank Corcoran's "Balthasar's Traum" performed at the Electronic Studio of the Berlin Technical University in close cooperation with Folkmar Hein. The work is based on an idea of a short story by Jorge Luis Borge and the Gospel of St. Mark about Balthasar Espinosa, a man who becomes involved with the Gutres people of Pampa and eventually dies by being hanged on a cross by the same people with whom he was so fascinated. It takes place in the great plains of the Pampa where Baltasar Espinosa is invited to his friend's ranch. To escape the monotony of continuous rain, he begins every night to read aloud to the fascinated Gutres people. They ask for him to reread the Gospel of St. Mark. Mysterious things begin happening during the dark days -- Baltasar cures an animal through 20th century means, something the Gutres have never seen before. The rain eventually stops. That night a virgin Gutre girl visits Baltasar's bed. The next day, he reads the Gospel to the Gutres for the last time. They then ask Baltasar, who is not a believer, if even those who crucified the Savior can receive salvation. They ask for his blessing, …
