Joakim Pirinen, mainly known for his comics and artwork,
invites the listener to a sound odyssey with a couple of
text-sound compositions together with Mikael Str÷mberg.
The text material consists of short stories from Joakim
Pirinens "Den svenska apan" [The Swedish Monkey] and some
newly produced texts. Here you meet G÷sta Jamberts, the man
who left Sweden for Uganda to get his revenge on the Swedish
state, the exhausted man standing in the rubble, trying to
have a cosy home evening, the love struck Yssen behind the
couch in the living room or the poor India- rubber tree that
never dies etc.
Is this music? Or Literature? Or something in- between? The
Swedish text- sound compositions of the late 60s and 70s,
with names like ┼ke Hodell, Lars- Gunnar Bodin, Sten Hansson
and ╓yvind Fahlstr÷m tried to expand the boundaries of poetry
and music, text and sound. And so does the duo Pirinen/
Str÷mberg who follows closely in this tradition; the computer
music of Str÷mberg mingles with the readings of Pirinen in
patterns mainly determined by chance. The result is often as
unexpected as it is humorous.
