Biography
Joakim Pirinen, mainly known for his comics and artwork, invites the listener to a sound odyssey of text-sound compositions together with Mikael Strömberg.
Is this music? Or Literature? Or something in- between? The Swedish text- sound compositions of the late 60s and 70s, with names like Åke Hodell, Lars- Gunnar Bodin, Sten Hansson and Öyvind Fahlström tried to expand the boundaries of poetry and music, text and sound. And so does the duo Pirinen/ Strömberg who follows closely in this tradition; the computer music of Strömberg mingles with the readings of Pirinen in patterns mainly determined by chance. The result is often as unexpected as it is humorous.
