Lydfabet
The Lydfabet (Lyd=sound in Danish) is a recently completed sound-poetry piece in which one travels through the (Danish) alphabet within a quarter of an hour. It is based on a series of short poems created specially for the project by the Danish author and poet Vagn Steen. Vagn was one of the first Danish poets to use a computer in piecing together a poem during the sixties and I was inspired by this and his extensive catalogue of concrete poetry to make some explorations in sound.Although it is primarily a Danish project I post it here and am curious as to how it comes across to those not familiar with the Danish language. You after all have the opportunity to listen to the sounds without being caught up in the (often humourous, I must point out) meaning of the words. Comments and feedback welcome.
More information on the lydfabet can be found on my website here
