Previously on Optical Sound…
Du 6 au 24 Juillet
Galerie Frédéric Giroux 8 rue Charlot 75003 Paris
http://www.fredericgiroux.com/

Optical sound est une structure hybride et atypique, furtive et mobile qui dessine ses propres frontières entre musique expérimentale et art contemporain. Bien avant l'exode des musiciens vers les contrées plus accueillantes des arts plastiques - crise du disque oblige et soif insatiable de nouveauté - Optical sound œuvre depuis 1997 au mixage interdisciplinaire et produit sans distinction projets de musiciens-artistes- graphistes… : disques, dvd's, badges, sérigraphies, éditions limitées, interfaces, expositions, revues… Pas de dogme, ni de chapelle mais la cartographie d'un territoire animé par un réseau serré d'intervenant qui travaillent en cooptation, par le truchement des productions, des rencontres et du partage des données et des passions. Ici règne la Direction artistique au sens noble du terme, Pierre Beloüin en est le gardien - du studio d'enregistrement ou de la salle de concert, en passant par le Black Cube… - selon. Graphistes, plasticiens, écrivains, journalist es, musiciens font partie d'une dynamique de production, d'une marque de fabrique qui traverse les aléas de la production culturelle underground dans un pays peu réceptif aux décloisonnements et au transferts de genres. Cette exposition fera la part belle à ce qui peut-être vu - galerie oblige - mais lézardera le long des murs et dans les écouteurs cette musique qui depuis la naissance du label hurle en faveur d'un projet mixed media toujours bien vivant.



À l’occasion de cette exposition les éditions Optical Sound seront disponibles intégralement sous la forme d’un lot unique contenant la collection complète des 13 ans de productions.
 Par ailleurs un nouveau numéro "manifeste !", hors série de la revue Opticalsound consacré aux Manifestes sera proposé en exclusivité et en parallèle à sa présentation à l'Espace de l’Art Concret,(Mouans –Sartoux) à l'occasion de l'exposition "le temps des manifestes". du 22 mai au 19 juin

A UPDATE ON ARTIST S. CLAY WILSON by LORRAINE CHAMBERLAIN




I have been flirting with S Clay Wilson for forty years, lived with him for ten, visited him in the hospital every day for a year, and brought him home to take care of six months ago. It is a daunting task. But one I have been and will continue to be devoted to every day. He is changed in many ways, but I find it easy to love this New Wilson as much as the Old One. This version is more tender and sensitive, although on occasion he can be just as stubborn and difficult as he always was.


Wilson was not in a bar the night his life changed. He was trying to get home from a friend's house. We have never known if he fell or if he was beaten up. He certainly looked like he'd been attacked, covered with bruises, cuts, a fractured orbital bone with bleeding in three hemispheres of his brain. Some good samaritans discovered him unconscious, face down between two parked cars in the rain. We have never found out who these people were who saved his life by calling an ambulance, waiting for it to arrive so they could find him. I scoured that little street days later, asking people if they knew who did that, in order to thank them. Several people had heard about "the guy who got beat up" on their street, but knew nothing more. We will never be certain of the cause his wounds. He suffered a severe, traumatic brain injury that night, and at first it didn't show.

Wilson was in a coma for three weeks until he was taken off the ventilator. They had removed it once before in the first week, but he failed this breathing test and had to be intubated again. He suffered from a bout of pneumonia after that, so it was frightening when the neurosurgeon told us he may not make it when they removed the machine again. Thankfully, he gradually opened his eyes and continued breathing on his own.

We had no idea how severely impaired he was for many months after that day. Always an uncooperative personality, many times he told people to 'get lost" when they came to visit. Some took it personally, some blamed it on me, and some let it roll off their backs to return another day for a more successful visit. He had bouts of outrage when he was in the rehab facility, trying to escape with all of his belongings crammed into the legs of a pair of sweats, like a duffel bag. He spent days ranting about vivid characters and scenarios not based in reality. It took me awhile to realize that many of these wild delusions were really "verbal drawings"...not hallucinations at all. He couldn't draw them, so he spoke them.

It took several months before he could even write his name. I brought him a small sketch pad which he kept close by but left blank. One day I looked in it to discover his famous signature! It brought me to tears, offering hope for the first time about his ability to draw again some day. Soon after that we discovered a face he'd drawn on an easel in the dining room. A friend thought it looked like me. Two days later, I discovered four Checkered Demon faces on the same easel. I saved these little gems to show him later, thinking we would have a great laugh at their simplicity.

In the ensuing month he surprised us all by completing a fantastic color piece he titled "Lots of Pirates" . After three months he was moved to another facility and stopped drawing. It took awhile to realize this was because he didn't have the right furniture. I arrived one day with a lamp and a high stool to place in front of a raised table, much like his arrangement at home. He was off and running, drawing for hours at a time in the following months. But his feverish output died down after ten drawings.

Since returning home, he spends many days drawing, followed by days or sometimes weeks off. He has completed several remarkable pieces here at home, but said recently that he is weary of his characters. This worries me, of course, but I do not nag him. I try to keep him engaged in any way possible, exercising, walking, and visiting with his friends. We go to museums and galleries together, and once in awhile to a matinee. He loved Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, as well at Crazy Heart.

He remembers many old pals as well as his sister, but the mystery of his impairment has caused him to obsess about old slights and misunderstandings.( I have tried to get him to ease up on this attitude,but so far, regarding some people, to no avail.) He can recall much of his intellectual knowledge about art and movies. He never watches tv, having been a terrible snob about that all his life. But we haunt the libraries, renting up to 20 movies at a time. I do not allow him to lie in bed all day watching them. We begin viewing at around 4pm most days, and by 9 pm we may have completed three films before going to sleep.

Wilson is not a blank slate. In many ways, he makes more sensitive observations than he ever verbalized before his accident. He cannot problem solve, however, and can do very little for himself without help. His short term memory is shot, and he no longer talks very much since he now has aphasia. Sometimes it is hard for him to express himself, but since we are together most of the time I can usually help "put words in his mouth" so he can get it out. (He's always quick to tell me if I'm getting it wrong, however.)

I have put together a Special Needs Trust for him, since he is no longer capable of earning a living. He receives Social Security and Disability benefits which barely cover expenses. This Trust gives him a little security for his future needs, although it is not growing very quickly. This gifted artist who has worked as hard as he partied is now in need of everyone's generous help. He is still capable of worrying about the future even though he does not fully understand what has happened to alter it.

This is a tragic turn of events for a proud man. I hope people will visit the web page I made for him and donate what they can. The Trust is set up so that the money can only be spent on him. It cannot be used for rent, food or utilities, so we pool our meager resources to cover those.

He loves to get letters and postcards although he cannot write back. I try to send thank you notes and postcards to everyone who writes to him or donates to the Trust.

To some people this terrible injury may seem self-inflicted or his own fault and thus, less deserving of our help. But this iconic artist and extraordinary man needs all of the loving care, sympathy, and generosity his fellow man can spare.

The Trust address is www.sclaywilsontrust.com

ANDREA SCHROEDER POETISCHE SONGS MIT GROSSER STIMME

Aus München kommt der eigenständige Folk-Blues von Andrea Schroeder. Ihre erdige, beschwörende Stimme gleitet über hypnotisierenden Rhythmen. Ihre Musik, voller Kraft und Poesie, entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit Hubsi Widmann, dem Ex Mastermind von Schandmaul. Einige ihrer Songs sind internationale Kooperationen, u.a. mit Richard Horowitz
(Golden-Globe für die Filmmusik “Der Himmel über der Wüste” von Bernardo Bertulucci) und dem legendären New Yorker Beatpoeten Charles Plymell. Die beschwörende und einfühlsame Musik von Andrea
Schroeder mit ihrer charismatischen Stimme fand innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine große Zuhörerschaft und internationale Anerkennung.
Sie erinnert an die Klänge von Velvet Underground oder Patti Smith.

Andrea Schroeder - Gesang
Hubsi Widmann - Bass, Drehleier, Gitarre
Georg Weis - Gitarre, Mandoline, Klavier
Karsten Helmbold - Percussion

Benoit Delaune: articles autour de William Burroughs

Benoit Delaune a rédigé une thèse de littératures comparées sur Burroughs, qui portait principalement sur le cut-up et la "trilogie nova". Il a participé en juillet dernier au colloque parisien pour les 50 ans du Festin nu, en tant que "parleur" et aussi en tant que musicien, avec le groupe dont il fait partie, Nouvelles Impressions d'Afrique.

Quelques uns des articles qu'il a écrits autour de Burroughs sont consultables en ligne :

- "Texte itératif et stéréotypes chez William Burroughs : de l’intertextualité à l’autostéréotypie":
http://revel.unice.fr/cnarra/index.html?id=1268 dans les Cahiers de Narratologie

- Collage, montage, cut-up, musique concrète : figures de l’intégration du chaos dans l’œuvre chez William Burroughs et Pierre Schaeffer : http://trans.univ-paris3.fr/spip.php?article276 : TRANS - Revue de littérature générale et comparée, N° 9: Pop-culture.

_________________________

Benoit Delaune has written a thesis of comparative literatures on Burroughs, particularly down the cut-up and "nova trilogy". In July 2009 he took part in the colloquium in Paris for the 50 yeats of Naked Lunch, as a lecturer as well as a musician, with the group he is a member of, " Nouvelles Impressions d'Afrique".


Some of the articles he wrote around Burroughs are available on line :

Ricardo Mbarkho: Soon the National Tabbouleh Day

THE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY 2010
http://www.nationaltabboulehday.com/
Since 2001, a yearly national day, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July (this year the 3rd of July, 2010), is dedicated to TABBOULEH.
During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country. In 2007, the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism granted its approval and its patronage officially for the NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY.
Many events will take place all over the world! wherever there are Lebanese and friends. In downtown Beirut, for example, a big public gathering is organized at Souk el Tayeb in Saifi Village, where savoring and competitions of the best TABBOULEH will take place (www.soukeltayeb.com).
Let's celebrate all together the next NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY that will take place on Saturday July 3, 2010. How? Here are some suggested ways:
In July 3, 2010
- Think about Tabbouleh
- Or do Tabbouleh alone or with friends
- Or do a public Tabbouleh event on your way
While doing so, know that you’re sharing these moments with all the others.
I all cases please take photos and share them on facebook for example. You can also send them to contact@nationaltabboulehday.com so we can publish them on the Website www.nationaltabboulehday.com and/or facebook…
Happy Tabbouleh Day!!!!!

forward the good news!


Interzone report of April-May-June

This report is too big to be inserted  here with the photos: you can read it on line at :

part 2 : http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/reportmay10b-htm
In French: http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/reportmay10fr-htm  and http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/reportmay10bfr-htm

Hi all,

Those two latest months have been very active: see the posts in the blog
Interzone news http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/ since the latest report
at
http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/2010/04/interzone-report-february-march-2010.html

As a result, this report, a special "beat generation", is so big I have to
make it in two pages.

New connections :
============
In April, thanks to Paul Hawkins    , I have got in touch with Charles
Plymell and friends of him (see Georges Laughead's incredible page on them,
"Beats in Kansas: the Beat generation in the Heartland":  at
http://www.vlib.us/beats/ for more info) . They have been bringing a ton of
energy , and forwarded info about their arts and creations, as well as the
doc they have been sending on the Beat and arts and literature more
generally: see in the blog Interzone News . In the French present context,
their input is a puff of oxygen.

So welcome to the Interzone,  Charles and Pam Plymell, Mike Watt, Gerard
Malanga, A.D. Winans, Ginger Eades, Richard Krech, Phil Scalia and all !
Your friendship and interest for Interzone is the best recognition we could
get !

 Bye Dennis Hopper and Peter Orlovsky

- The Time of the Naguals : first tomes on line in pdf:
I have converted in pdf and put on line the following books :
- "Le Temps des Naguals : Autour de Burroughs et Gysin": 134 pages
http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf : see the contents at
http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/tnbgfr-html

              In the English anthology of Interzone, two tomes seem to be
ready now:  Ordering and classing the huge amount of the texts in different
tomes is a hell of a work !

- "Around Burroughs and Gysin" Tome 1, 86 pages,
http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN1AroundB&G.pdf  contains the
original texts in English which were translated in the "Le Temps des
Naguals: Autour de Burroughs et Gysin", plus texts about them: see the
contents on line at : http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/tnbgen1-html

- "Research": 162 pages,
www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf
This tome gathers the researches conducted in different domains related to
those  explored by Burroughs and Gysin, by Interzone members spread all over
the world, which they have continued them, with the tools of thinking we had
in 1997, when Interzone started, and when we started this anthology. See the
contents at : http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/tnenresearch-html

This anthology is an experiment of non-Aristotelian functions of writing
described by Alfred Korzybski and applied and developed by Burroughs and
Gysin:

1. Symbolic function of language * (Korzybski): a word is a symbol, a sign
which stands for something. Language is a map of reality.

2 Function of time-binding *: writing binds the author and his readers
through space-time:
"Whenever you use this bow I will be there," the Zen archery master tells
his students. And he means there-quite literally. He lives in his students
and thus achieves a measure of immortality. And the immortality of a writer
is to be taken literally. whenever anyone reads his words the writer is
there. He lives in his readers."  William S. Burroughs, "The Place of Dead
Roads"
" Just before he signs off for good , many a man has picked up the distant
voice of his doctor saying: " He is dead". Remember, these words are
meaningless. When you read this I am alive. I am here on this page. I am
here. I am HERE!" .

3. Magic function : "Writing is about making it happen" (Brion Gysin) : a
writer writes a scenario of reality which his readers can make happen, and
this way, create a reality which fits them: "In fact, writers are
potentially very powerful. The write the scenario of the film of reality.
Jack Kerouac opened a million coffee bars and sold a million Levis to both
sexes." (Burroughs, "The Adding Machine: Selected Essays" ).

4. Through the link between the author and the reader, writing creates a
collaboration between them, which produces, according to mathematic
non-additivity *, a phenomenon called by Burroughs and Gysin "the
Third-Mind" : with regard to human collaboration, 1 + 1 = 3 :
" Gysin: when you associate two minds...
Burroughs: There is always a third mind...
Gysin: A third higher mind...
Burroughs: Like an invisible collaborator. "
("The Third Mind".)

This application of general semantics to writing is not an attempt to create
a new literary trend. It is an experiment to use writing according to our
present level of evolution in sciences. In the domains of sciences and
techniques, we got to a high level of evolution, but in human domains, we
are still stuck to the previous steps of evolution of our civilisation :
Aristotle and Descartes, and think and act with obsolete patterns.

Dead Fingers Talk: The Tape Experiments of William S. Burroughs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dead Fingers Talk (May 28 - July 12) is an exhibition presenting two
unreleased tape experiments by William Burroughs from the mid 60s alongside
responses by 23 artists, musicians, writers, composers and curators.

Few writers have exerted as great an influence over such a diverse range of
art forms as William Burroughs. One typically overlooked manifestation of
his radical ideas about manipulation, technology and society is found in his
extensive experiments with tape recorders in the 1960s and '70s. Dead
Fingers Talk: The Tape Experiments of William S. Burroughs is the first
exhibition to demonstrate the diversity of resonance in the arts of
Burroughs' theories of sound.

The exhibition includes work by Alma/Joe Ambrose, Steve Aylett, Alex Baker &
Kit Poulson, Lawrence English, The Human Separation, Riccardo Iacono,

FOR WILLIAM BURROUGHS


You played the game out like a Mafia Don

Late for an appointment with the Godfather

Living life with the tenacity of a gunslinger

Looking for another notch on his gun

Your cinematic midnight cowboy dreams

Cut-up poster boy hero images
Walking the mind’s third eye

Traveling a time zone of drug induced mythologies

Grinding away the days the months the years

Like a frenzied lap-dancer

Seeking thrills in forbidden pleasure zones

“Te bouffe pas la tête” de Charles Plymell- Compte rendu de Paul Hawkins, traduction Jean-Marie Flémal

Eat not thy mind

Traduction: Jean-Marie Flémal.

Te bouffe pas la tête est une œuvre d’art. Avec un collage de Claude Pélieu sur la première de couverture et un avant-propos de l’ami et bassiste Mike Watt. Ce recueil propose vingt-neuf poèmes contemporains du poète hors la loi qu’est Charles Plymell. C’est avec beaucoup d’amour et de soin que Byron Coley et Thurston Moore, les responsables de la collection Glasse Eye Books / Ecstatic Peace Library, ont produit ce bel objet. Et il ne s’agit que de l’emballage ! Charley Plymell est considéré à juste titre comme l’un des meilleurs poètes de l’underground littéraire américain. Il a vu beaucoup de choses depuis sa naissance en 1935 dans les hautes plaines du Kansas et depuis ses premiers souvenirs du bruit du vent dans la cabine d’un camion Reo Speedwagon. Son père était cow-boy, sa mère fut entre autres cascadeuse au volant. Charley s’empressa de quitter le Kansas en compagnie de gars comme Bob Branaman, S. Clay Wilson, Michael McClure, Bruce Connor et les punks de Wichita filant à tout berzingue à travers le Vortex, le fameux tourbillon, hurlant et rugissant tous azimuts, nord, sud, est et ouest.

Chemin faisant, Plymell et les punks de Wichita tâteront du speed, laisseront tomber le LSD, organiseront des rituels à la mescaline et feront des tas d’expériences dans le domaine de l’art et des autres formes de création des années cinquante. Tous étaient des dévoreurs de tarmac. Charley avait déjà derrière lui deux volumes de poèmes, Neon Poems et Apocalypse Rose quand, en 1971, City Lights publia son truculent roman, Le dernier des Mocassins. Ce roman agrippe, miroite et scintille, avec son style de prose hobohémien ; il débobine les faits marquants de sa vie à Wichita et environs, ses allers et retours entre la côte ouest et le Kansas, le long de la route 66, l’autoroute de la benzédrine, et bien au-delà encore, ses folles années hip et la vie de bâton de chaise de sa sœur aînée Betty. Ses mots se sont mués en étincelles d’énergie, en sparring-partners du cerveau. Le lexème de Te bouffe pas la tête resplendit de façon incandescente dans la sombre conscience du 21e siècle, devenant ainsi le lubrifiant avec lequel les délirants nuages spirituels se mettent en mouvement pour révéler un engagement dans la vie dénué de la moindre hésitation, mais toujours vibrant et astucieux.

D’emblée, les mots de Charley sont capiteux, charmeurs et descriptifs jusqu’à l’intoxication. Ses années hip se sont confondues avec sa période psychédélique avant qu’il enfonce le frein à main à San Francisco. Charley a vécu avec Ginsberg et Neal Cassady, il a imprimé le tout premier Zap Comix de Robert Crumb, puis il a écrit, écrit et écrit tant et plus. Après avoir brûlé le tarmac et vu clair dans le jeu de la Beats Inc., Charley panse ses plaies et monte sur Cherry Valley. Il y va d’une sévère diatribe contre le Fonds national des Arts et son analyse pénétrante et mûrement réfléchie est reprise dans le New York Times et d’autres journaux et publications. Avec sa femme Pam, il lance Cherry Valley Editions, publiant ainsi Herbert Huncke, William Burroughs, Roxie Powell, Claude Pélieu, Mary Beach, pour n’en citer que quelques-uns. Quoi qu’il en soit, Charley est et restera à jamais un poète. Et quel poète ! Sachant à tout moment où recouper les traces en provenance d’un âge lointain, dans Te bouffe pas la tête, Charley envoie des pulsions d’énergie qui prennent leur plein envol autour du cerveau du lecteur, à qui il fait partager la naissance d’une nouvelle conception de la folie actuelle, un autre champ d’interrogation, le souffle d’un vent de fraîcheur pour l’esprit et le cœur dont il faut s’emplir à fond avant de prendre son envol. Te bouffe pas la tête, de Charley Plymell, est une œuvre suprême.
