Henri Chopin was a pioneering and very influential French sound poet.He passed away at the age of 85 on January 3 this year at his home in England. As poet, painter, graphic artist and designer, typographer, independent publisher, film-maker, broadcaster and arts promoter, Chopin’s work is a barometer of the shifts in European media between the 1950s and the 1970s.His publication and design of the classic audio-visual magazines Cinquième Saison and OU between 1958 and 1974, each issue containing recordings as well as texts, images, screenprints and multiples, brought together international contemporary writers and artists such as members of Lettrisme and Fluxus, Jiri Kolar, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Tom Phillips, Brion Gysin, William S. Burroughs and many others, as well as bringing the work of survivors from earlier generations such as the Dadaist Raoul Hausmann and Marcel Janco to a fresh audience. Thank You Henri for opening people’s ears to the often overlooked sounds of human voice.  And for championing the forgotten but much loved reel-to-reel tape machine. Your Legacy will live forever.Now his 1965 audio poeme L’energie sommiel from his sound poetry magazine OU.This Will Be Followed by reflections on Henri Chopin by our own sound poet Amanda Stewart whose work really embodies his concepts,spirit and vitality.

this morning a journey into the sound world of David Lynch.  Featuring the sound and music for my film, film sound design and soundtrack of 2007, Inland Empire.  We started out with music and sound from the 1977 film eraserhead from the original LP record on IRS Records (side two track 2 –~ 2 cm in) .  The sound was designed and produced by David Lynch himself and Alan R Splet.  We heard the song In Heaven (Radiator song) with music by Peter Ivers, lyrics by David Lynch and vocal by Peter Ivers. It is in Eraserhead that Lynch’s symbiotic use of sound and image comes into fruition, and sets the standard for his later films.Eraserhead is a surrealist masterpiece and had a strong impact and was very important to many including industrial music artists such as the members of SPK.  The sound is the sound for an industrial landscape.Now more of the wonderful pure sound from eraserhead.Side 1 – 5’(1CM IN )As the sound design of Lynch’s films introduce an extra dimension to what the audience perceives, so too do Angelo Badalamenti’s compositions.These elements are particularly prevalent in Lynch’s 1990-91 television series Twin Peaks where Badalamenti’s score becomes as symbolic as the characters themselves. For decades, his films have explored the darkness inherent in American culture, often through the prism of twisted sexuality and the carefully designed sound and music highlights the visual and emotional images. The Sound and music are always appropriately unsettling such as in night life in Twin Peaks we just heard.And the twin peaks theme at the end of the prog.                                                                                            Track, Title                                                                                          9, Night Life In Twin Peaks                                                                                                           Now Inland Empire.  Completed in 2006 it took 2 1/2 years to complete.  It is written and directed by David Lynch who composed and performed much of the music.  It was entirely shot on digital video, which he predicts will be the film medium of the future.  The mysterious rabbits come from the 2002 film  of the same name written and directed by David Lynch with the tag line: “In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain… three rabbits live with a fearful mystery”. In My Mind Inland Empire is David Lynch’s second greatest surrealist masterpiece after  Eraserhead. The Music and sound weaves the images together.

Morning this morning — 2 recent compilation CDs, from England and America.Messthetics #103 (Messthetics label), D. I. Y and Indie post punk from the Midlands in England 1978 — 1981 on the Messthetics label and reissue of the rare second release by the Los Angeles Free Music Society In the Midlands there was a sparse but energetic rabble of (mostly) teens. They were faster, louder and less arty than their DIY counterparts elsewhere in the UK. Includes the bands Swell Maps, Hardware (pre — Pigbag). D.I.Y.” was both punk and post-punk, but D.I.Y. stood firmly on its own: a musical free-for-all of untrained voices, gnarly, scrubby, newly-invented riffs, home-made instruments, dustbin percussion, and lyrics like nothing that had come before. Performed by punks and hippies, musical geniuses and novices alike, school-kids and grizzled 27-year-olds…John Peel was a great supporter of the DIY bands and it was a great thing to be played By John Peel and appear on a peel session. The most successful DIY record was There Goes Concorde again by the native hipsters . And the next most successful was the shapes Part of the Furniture EP from 1978. The Young Bands (15 — 19) would sell any thing to be able to put out a 7 inch — their motorbikes and cash the dole cheques. It was a breeding ground for successful new wave bands such as pig bag and the specials. The Bands Had the energy of punk. And Many Were Influenced by the Glam rock period Of David Bowie and The Sweet. The 7 Inch Records were often released in plain sleeves and small runs of only 250.

Gerry Anderson’s marionette series provided a number of punk band names in England. Swell Maps came from the line from stingray, “gee , that’s a swell map”.Tracks:start-Lester and the brew,a bad day in the o
