10+2=12 AMERICAN TEXT-SOUND PIECES

Year: 2003

Contents: Torero Piece by Beth Anderson The best-selling recording in the history of American sound poetry, 10+2 was a novelty at the time of its release in 1975, when unpitched speech was rarely used outside of literary circles as performance material. Sound poems or text-sound compositions represent a cross-fertilization of the traditional arts of music and poetry. Originally released by 1750 Arch Records , this CD re-release is the first to anthologize text-sound pieces by U.S. composers, poets and visual artists. The advent of the magnetic tape recorder and other various electronic devices (1950-1955) presented artists of various disciplines with a wider possibility of altering natural sound, including the speaking voice. Here is a music composed from speaking, not singing. Here is also a poetry, which extends our notion of the traditional "reading" the work can only exist as sound.

Composers: Beth Anderson, Charles Amirkhanian Clark Coolidge John Cage John Giorno Anthony Gnazzo Charles Dodge Robert Ashley Brion Gysin Liam O’Gallagher Aram Saroyan
