You prefer language to understand platitudes that everyone already knows by heart. We prefer language that brings you a new feeling for new times" Kurt Schwitters "L’Atelier de création sonore radiophonique" is organising an international sound poetry contest. This contest is open to all. The contest fits in with what is commonly called sound poetry. We would like to avoid sticking to a more precise or sharp definition. We ask the participants to create an original work including a corporal work on voice and a editing and mixing work also: a mix of sound and voice. The idea is to create a "sound object" in a Schaefferian way of speaking. Will be excluded from the contest works limited to: - a simple declamation of text - a purely sound or musical form "Considering sound poetry, where words may lose their so-called meaning or new words be created at random, the question arises as to what line can be drawn between music and poetry, with specific reference to the music of composers like John Cage who construct symphonies from juxtaposed sounds. The answer is that there is no such line. The lines separating music and poetry, writing and painting, are purely arbitrary, and sound poetry is precisely designed to break down these categories and to free poetry from the printed page without dogmatically ruling out the convenience of the printed page" William Burroughs. Excerpt from an introductory text for Henri Chopin's book on “Poésie Sonore international” Maximum length of a sound poem is 3 minutes. Participants can hand in up to 3 creations with only one recording for each support. Participants can work alone or in a group. Registration : The registration to the contest is free of charge. Date limit for handing in works has been set on the 1st of october 2003. The jury’s decisions, presided by Henri Chopin, will be publicly announced during RADIOPHON'iC 2003 which will take place in Bussels in november of the same year. |
