Jan Jelinek –
Zwischen
Zwischen brings together twelve sound poetry collages using interview answers by public figures.
Each collage consists of the brief moments between the spoken words: silences, pauses for breath
and hesitations in which the interviewees utter non-semantic sound particles. These voice collages
also control a synthesizer, creating electronic sounds that overlay and merge with the voices to make
twelve acoustic structures.
