On December the 3rd, 9 PM, I will be doing some live visual stuff processing during the electrospoken session of Bruno Galindo during the kosmopolis literature festival in CCCB in Barcelona (home of the Sonar by day).
The visual work will be based on the work of the writers whose voice would be sampled. I know that Hunter S. Thompson's voice will be there.
Bruno Galindo and Miguel Gil Tertre aka Strand. Electrospoken: A project based on music and words that rescues and revindicates the spoken-word genre from the contemporary perspective of the language used by disc-jockeys.
Electrospoken involves a discourse based on more or less instrumental music electronic, hip-hop, rock, vanguard, pre-recorded organic sounds.) and "clean" words (recitals, readings, brief or hyper-brief narrations, speeches, fragments of interviews, etcetera) retrieved from numerous recordings. American beatnik sound notebooks, Brazilian avant-garde poets, acid philosophers, Rif visionaries and a long etcetera, build up a discourse that, played over a high-intensity, low tempo sound track, recovers words as an experience in contemporary music.
