"50/70"
(cat no. 9vocson022)

lp record

the third bernard heidsieck lp issued by alga marghen draws the picture of two specific moments on artistic creation: the 1950s and the 1970s. close to "poème-partition x" and in the same group of early works are "poéme-partition b" (6:20) and a2 "poéme-partition m" (11:20). more centered on electronic and the use of tape manipulations are the 1970s works. "démocratie ii" (6:44) and expecially "publicité" (24:09) are two clear examples of radical electronic poetry in the heidsieck style.

"poème-partition x"
(cat no. plana-h 1vocson074)
book + cd

edition of 350 numbered copies

"poème-partition x" was created by bernard heidsieck during 1960 and recorded in october the same year. a few excerpts of the 1st and 4th movements were performed on november 22nd, 1960 at the quatre saisons gallery in paris, during the festival of avant-garde art. "poème-partition x" might be considered heidsieck's first major work, whose duration (more than 40 minutes long) never allowed the author to give a public reading of it. its destination was a record (released by alga marghen in 1996, starting the vocson lp series, 36 years after its creation)!

alga marghen is proud to now present this new edition of "poème-partition x", extended to the cd format and included in a luxury 96 pages hardbound book, limited to 350 numbered copies. the book reproduces for the first time the complete score, a visual wonder and a major experimental printed work. bernard heidsieck memories of an historic lecture at the jean tinguely atelier is included as an introduction, as well as his testimony on ian sommerville and brion gysin's "dream machine". also on the cd is a lecture of extracts of "poème-partition x" accompanied by the saxophone of the american painter larry rivers. this recording from 1962 was not included in the lp edition and is here presented for the first time.

in august 1962, bernard heidsieck went with john ashberry, the american poet, to dinner at the studio of jean tinguely and niky de saint phalle. larry rivers had a studio in the same place and was also there. tinguely prepared grilled meat, skewered on one of his rotating sculptures. after dinner rivers returned to his studio and began to play, alone and for himself. he earned his living, at the time, by playing sax at an after-hours jazz club. so, while he was playing bernard heidsieck joined him in his studio and suggested that they do an improvisation together. something that heidsieck had never done before, and have never done since! larry rivers immediately accepted, and an appointment was set up at heidsieck home, for a few days later. august 6th, 1962. a dinner party was organised for the same guests who had been at tinguely's place and this unique 17 minutes improvisation was recorded, but untill now never released. it was, however, presented at the first fylkingen text-sound composition festival in stockholm in 1968.

this is the most recent edition from al dante i have in stock; the third title in the heidsieck “singles” series, released in april 2005 & consisting of a single piece from 1967/1968. of the three “singles” - imho this is the best (and longest!) - mixing found-sound-effects against a high edit-per-second ratio of heidseick’s ululations...

une pièce incontournable de bernard heidsieck dans un livre qui en offre également l’écoute via un cd. œuvre manifeste composée en 1968, couper n'est pas jouer proposait les bases théoriques et la mise en pratique d'écritures de montage utilisant les pratiques d’inserts, de cut-up, de sample. une étape de lecture et d’écoute qui donne une autre épaisseur à la poésie et à la littérature...

couper n’est pas jouer est un collage, ou plutôt le « sample » d’un texte théorique sur la poésie action intitulé notes convergentes («poésie-action et magnétophone»), et d’enregistrements directement prélevés dans l’actualité politique : débat à la chambre des députés, slogans, foules et cris de manifestations. cette pièce sonore, d’une durée de 55 minutes, est un geste essentiel dans l’œuvre de bernard heidsieck, et dans l’histoire de la poésie sonore ; car si l’invention du cut-up (par brion gysin) remonte à 1959, la technique en est ici développée et utilisée systématiquement pour la première fois, dans une volonté d’affirmation d’une poésie sémantique. conçue en 1968, cette pièce reflète l’extrême lien qui existe entre expérimentation artistique, débat social et pensée politique. le texte qui sert de charpente à ce poème sonore offre l’exemple rare d’un texte où écriture théorique et écriture poétique s’intriquent ou point de n’être qu’une : haletante, syncopée, multiple, cette écriture est le résultat d’un savant montage mêlant réflexion sur la poésie-action et fragments d’un quotidien prélevés dans le temps même de la rédaction, ce qui donne à ce texte une force tant poétique que théorique. le texte s'achève par un court extrait d’un manuel de lecture pour enfants, dont la dernière phrase est : « vive la rue dépavée ». cette pièce sonore, à la fois savante et vivante, théorique et physique, ponctuée de cris et de chants, de bruits de foules et de ritournelles, rappelle ainsi que, pour « lire » une œuvre, il faut prendre le risque de désapprendre.

bernard heidsieck, qui a reçu le prix national de la poésie en 1991, est l’initiateur en france de ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler la poésie sonore. dernières publications aux éditions al dante : respirations et brèves rencontres (2000 ; + 3 cd) ; canal street (2001 ; + 2 cd) ; le carrefour de la chaussée-d’antin (2001 ; + 2 cd) ; notes convergentes (collection « & », 2001), la poinçonneuse (2003, + 1 cd), derviche / le robert (2004, + 3 cd), démocratie ii (2004 ; + 1 cd), lettre à brion gysin (2004, cd).

a part impossible to circumvent of bernard heidsieck in a book which in offer also lcoute via cd. uvre proclamation made up in 1968, couper is not to play proposed the theoretical bases and the practical application of writings of assembly using the practices dinserts, cut-up, sample. a stage of reading and dcoute which gives another thickness to poetry and the literature...

to cut nest not to play is a joining, or rather the "sample" dun theoretical text on the poetry action entitled convergent notes ("poetry-action and tape recorder"), and denregistrements directly taken in political actuality: discusses with the house of commons, slogans, crowd and cry of demonstrations. this sound part, dune lasted 55 minutes, is an essential gesture in luvre of bernard heidsieck, and lhistoire of sound poetry; because if linvention of the cut-up (by brion gysin) goes up at 1959, the technique is developed by it and here used systematically for the first time, in a will affirmation dune semantic poetry. conceived in 1968, this part reflects lextrme bond which exists between artistic experimentation, social debate and political thought. the text which is used as frame with this sound poem offers lexemple rare dun text where theoretical writing and poetic writing sintriquent or not ntre quune: haletante, syncopated, multiple, this writing is the result dun erudite assembly mixing reflexion on the poetry-action and fragments dun daily taken in time even with the drafting, which gives to this text a force as well poetic as theoretical. the text is completed by a short manual extract dun of reading for children, whose last sentence is: "lives the unpaved street". this part sound, at the same time erudite and alive, theoretical and physical, punctuated of cries and songs, noises of crowd and old stories, recalls thus that, " to read" a uvre, it is necessary to take the risk of dsapprendre.

bernard heidsieck, who received the national price of poetry in 1991, is a initiator in france of this quil is agreed dappeler sound poetry. last publications with editions al dante: breathings and short meetings (2000; + 3 cd); channel street (2001; + 2 cd); the crossroads of the roadway-dantin (2001; + 2 cd); convergent notes (collection "&", 2001), the punching machine (2003, + 1 cd), dervish/the robert (2004, + 3 cd), democracy ii (2004; + 1 cd), letter with brion gysin (2004, cd).

second installment of the “singles” series - a 36-page cd-sized book with a cd tucked into the back-cover... both book/cd contain heidsieck’s “democratie ii” (passe-partout nº27) from 1977-1978.
editions al dante press release...
une pièce incontournable de bernard heidsieck dans un petit livre qui en offre également l’écoute via un cd...

démocratie égrène les noms des présidents du conseil d’état des iiie, ive et ve républiques. la voix de bernard heidsieck y semble oppressée, reprenant bruyamment son souffle avant chaque nom prononcé. parfois, émergent d’un fond sonore à l’indistinction inquiétante des applaudissements, des appels au calme... : l’enregistrement d’un débat à l’assemblée en mai 68.

éminemment politique, donc, cette pièce est fondamentale à plus d’un titre :

— elle est caractéristique de l’œuvre de bernard heidsieck et peut donc soit en permettre une première approche soit compléter la bibliothèque d’un amateur de poésie sonore ;

— elle peut également intéresser des auditeurs de musique contemporaine, expérimentale... en tant qu’incarnation d’une utilisation de la voix entre musique et poésie ;

— elle est représentative d’un croisement entre politique et poésie, ou plutôt du fait que la pensée et la poésie sont intricables.

une étape de lecture et d’écoute qui donne une autre épaisseur à la poésie et à la littérature...

bernard heidsieck, qui a reçu le prix national de la poésie en 1991, est l’initiateur en france de ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler la poésie sonore. il est un poète incontournable du xxe siècle, dont nous tentons de publier petit à petit le principal de son œuvre.dernières publications aux éditions al dante : respirations et brèves rencontres (coll. niok, livre + 3 cd) ; canal street (coll. niok, livre + 2 cd) ; le carrefour de la chaussée d’antin (coll. niok, livre + 2 cd) ; notes convergentes (coll. &), la poinçonneuse (+1 cd), derviche / le robert (coll. niok, livre + 3 cd), lettre à brion (cd).

théâtre de la parole stupéfiant, le carrefour de la chaussée d’antin fait le tour d’une société et d’une langue de consommation avec jubilation et lucidité.

le carrefour de la chaussée d’antin est une des œuvres phares du poète action bernard heidsieck, commentée, indirectement réputée, mais encore paradoxalement méconnue, dans laquelle — comme toujours pour ce poète — le son fait sens, en interaction avec la partition. c’est pourquoi il est impossible d’imaginer présenter une telle pièce uniquement sur papier.

bernard heidsieck se penche sur le génie d’un lieu — le carrefour de la chaussée-d’antin, le quartier des grands magasins et des boulevards haussmaniens — pour en exprimer (au sens où ponge parle d’expression) l’atmosphère sonore et signifiante : les annonces commerciales, les enseignes de magasins, les prix, les promotions, les rabais, les soldes, les produits, les cris d’enthousiasme, la consommation… le tout entrecoupé de citations des penseurs lus qui écrivaient alors sur leur époque : raymond aron, jean baudrillard, jean saint-geours, guy debord…

le montage, stupéfiant, donne à voir et à entendre de façon ludique et poétique une société de consommation où le vacarme du profit reste roi.


or...

theatre of the word astounding, the crossroads of the roadway of antin makes the turn of a company and a language of consumption with jubilation and clearness.

the crossroads of the roadway of antin is one of works headlights of the poet action bernard heidsieck, commented on, indirectly considered, but still paradoxically ignored, in whom -- as always for this poet -- the his fact feel, in interaction with the partition. this is why it is impossible to imagine to present such a part only on paper.

bernard heidsieck considers the genius of a place -- the crossroads of roadway-in antin, the district of the department stores and boulevards haussmaniens -- to express of it (with the direction where ponge speaks about expression) the atmosphere sound and meaning: the commercial advertisements, the signs of stores, the prices, promotions, the reductions, the balances, the products, cries of enthusiasm, consumption... the whole intersected with quotations of the thinkers read who wrote then over their time: raymond aron, jean baudrillard, jean saint-geours, guy debord...

the assembly, narcotic, give to see and understand in a ludic and poetic way a consumer society where the din of the profit remains king.
