Tips of the Sung

300 kr

Tips of the sung is a collection of interdisciplinary texts from Brzeski composed over the past five years whilst he has been Associate Artist at Lydgalleriet. The collection brings together performance scripts for voice and video with newly composed texts for the page. Centring on the vibrations of the voice, the texts exist somewhere between signification and delirium, at times making more sound than sense.

Tips of the Sung is full of bumbling mumbles, meandering hums, homophones, inner voices, affirmations, motivations, subvocalisations, resolutions, errors in speech production, peach seduction, car maintenance manuals, self-help fallacies, roomy echo chambers, overheard language lessons, morning meditations, and other forms of verbal rehearsal at the limits of language.

Tips of the Sung is designed by Mads Andersen and supported by Arts Council Norway, Norwegian Visual Artists Fund and Bergen City.

Om utgiveren:

Vibrational Semantics
Vibrational Semantics focuses on the elaboration, documentation and investigation of the voice. The publications and sound works in the series explore the voice’s ability to shift seamlessly between signification and sonority, from speech sound to noise. Questions of linguistic ambiguity, embodied voicing and the feeling/ meaning are investigated in relation to the place and presence of the performed voice. So far, this has included visual scores, creative essays, interdisciplinary writing and sound works commissioned from artists, writers, performers and vocalists.

The project started as part of artist and writer Samuel Brzeski’s ongoing artistic engagement with Lydgalleriet, who funded the first series of commissioned text works, but is now an independent press run by Samuel.
