hyänen, erpresste veilchen und der übliche pegelsuff – Studie 2
[hyenas, blackmailed shiners, and the usual boozing – Study 2]
Distant lights. Repressed feelings. Between delirium and bitter reality, a man tries to get his life into balance. The constant digressing and the fight against the inner bastard seem to last forever. The memories of fame and success are what won’t let him stop.
Three Cut Up A Capella Studies - by Todor Manojlovic The origin of the concept “cut up” lies in the distant past. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, William S. Burroughs was the protagonist of this still unusual but promising methodology. Behind it was initially a purely literary approach, which was not related to music. It exerted an influence on many “Beat Generation” authors, and still exists today. The cut-up technique has many facets, ranging from fine art all the way to music and film. It has had an influence on our culture. It is endless, inexhaustible and unpredictable. These works are about three cut-up studies that deal specifically with rap and a cappella pop works. The unusual combination of literary cutting technique is combined here with the setting of poetry to music. The result offered to the listener is something new and unusual that builds a bridge between everyday language use and the human voice. In these studies, material from Eminem, 2Pac, Morlockk Dilemma, and Vitas is used to construct dynamic, rhythmic and unusual tonal shapes from individual fragments.
