INTERRUPTIONS #18
Vox et repetitio
By Eduard Escoffet
Actual recording was not an option until the twentieth century, when technology made it possible to record, play back, process and multiply the voice of the poet. One source, infinite layers. A machine for expressing the multiplicity that exists in every voice, in every person. This led to the birth of a new genre, a new path that is in reality simply a revival of the original poetry which existed before print: voice and repetition. In this mix we capture some of the infinite instances of voice and repetition in Eduard Escoffet’s sound poetry collection.
This is an email conversation with the sound poetry and voice collector Eduard Escoffet, which took place in Summer 2013.
Although Gil J Wolman's seminal sound work has been largely overlooked, it was a precursor of sound poetry and is one of the key elements of Lettrist poetry. This radio show reconstructs the link between Lettrism, sound poetry, and the work of some isolated but fundamental figures.
