Here is a virtual movie of a reading a poem by the legendary singer songwriter director,poet etc etc Jacques Brel "Our deepest fear" The poem is read exquisitely in French and English by Canadian actor Dennis O'Connor who kindly sent me this recording. I have employed the visual services of an unknown moustachioed thoughtful looking Victorian gentleman as my visual reader of this delightful poem.

the pioneer of sound poetry Live at ESPACE GANTNER - Bourogne - France 2005 - at 84 years old. infos on henri chopin : www.erratum.org www.ubu.com Henri Chopin, explorer of the body's voices. For the last forty years, with his sound poetry revue OU (1964-1974), then through his participation in various international sound poetry festivals, through his personal experience in the experimental studios of radio stations in Köln, Paris, Australia, Canada or Sweden and in his concert/performances throughout Europe, Henri Chopin has consistently and unceasingly opened the ways to unexplored spaces beyond all known languages. Thanks to the systematic use of microphones, amplifiers, tape recorders, editing and mixing consoles, he has given a voice to realms beyond modern or experimental music, beyond any note system and headed for spaces without norms, categories, definitions or limits: spaces of permanent metamorphosis. But despite misleading appearances, Henri Chopin is not merely doing a new kind of music; he is not just a consequence of Pierre Schaeffer's concrete music principles and Pierre Henry's experiments in the fifties. Henri Chopin is an individual (in Stirner's sense: the ego and its own) who has always resisted absurd attempts to reduce him to part of a movement, a school, an academism; what one perceives are Henry Chopin's bio-psychical vibrations, that he himself constructed by electronically recording, then modifying, amplifying and transforming the energies of ...
