    submissions wanted / soundwork about Samuel Becketts work

    the starting point

    straight to the point: the music possibly imagined or, the other way round, the
    imagination upcoming from the possible music which is an important content in
    Samuel Becketts work.
    those of you acquainted with the work, or at least part of it, know or feel the
    tremendous musicality coming from there.
    those of you busy with electronic / electroacoustic soundwork and know
    at least part of Becketts work can surely imagine what I mean.
    S.Becketts non-appearing and disappearing “world” of words is – to me – an attempt to
    describe us as human beings in despair, without any answer why we are, here.
    take this in a philosophical way if you like.

    the soundwork

    taking its starting point somewhere in Becketts work and later in your way of expression
    with means of sound which should contain as few words as possible or none.
    the soundwork should reflect somehow the lack of words.
    this means (nearly) no lyrics, if possible, or lyrics about nothing
    at the end I want to compilate your works on a net CD here on modisti, if the holders
    would like to make this possible.

    about the upcoming works

    so far I have no idea about the pieces themselves or length
    the basic idea you will find above – or not.
    do not try to work with something you feel uncomfortable with.

    suggestion

    give me a word, by mail, personally, so I can check the interest.
    once again: this is not a usual call for works.
    still not sure what this is about ?
    read some of Samuel Becketts works, the lyrics, whatever.
    when you are finished some time will have passed.
    maybe I hear from you later.

    deadlines / questions

    no deadlines so far. I want to hear from you who are triggered by the idea.
    let time pass and think about it during the coming months so that I can
    start putting things together after summer.
    adresses:
    you find me at modisti, on face book or on my site
