BRYTA BYGD, RÖJA VÄG, ÖPPNA BERG!
A text-sound composition by David Vikgren and Helena Persson
”Bryta byggd, röja väg, öppna berg!” hovers over a landscape of soundart, poetry and experimental music where the voice and lyricism of the poet David Vikgren meets the sonic world of sound artist Helena Persson.
Their mutual starting point - the book Materialvägensägen (Vikgren 2019) - will take them for a journey of space, non-space, industrialization and societal liquidation, where the sound piece gives voice to both lyrics and field recordings. The poetry, that through the book holds a strong character, here resigns from its superior position and opens up for a mutual understanding where voice, sounds and tonal world carries an equal role. Within this meeting unfolds an acoustic scenery of harmony and disharmony, frequencies and fluctuations.
