4lp boxset
edition of 345 copies

alga marghen presents one of the most impressive sound poetry anthologies ever published, introducing you to the sound works of the nouveau realiste artist francois dufrene. his work, along with that of gil j wolman and brion gysin, was a strong influence for experimental poets like henri chopin, bernard heidsieck and ake hodell.

françois dufrene could be considered the younger of the first generation sound poets. already in the lettrist group when he was only 16 years old, with his own style marked by an hyper-powerful voice. in 1953, at the age of 23, he became ultra-lettrist, starting his first crirhythms by overpassing the alphabet in the perspective of the physical improvised scream. with the crirhythms sound poetry enters for the first time in the factory of projective sounds. in the beginning dufrene uses the tape recorder only to document his creations. these recordings show him that through the tape machine his poems could reached deeper and wider creative dynamics. since the mid-1950s the tape-machine becomes for him a poetical and experimental tool and dufrene fully develops its potentials with stereophonic recordings as well as with the superimposition of his crirhythms. the loudspeakers amplifies sounds while the microphone captures even the most detailed concrete sound produced by his voice. the physical tempest he produces is a real concrete electronic sound attack. dufrene produced primitive, brutal poems opening the path of vocal sounds to contemporary composers: it's known that pierre henry was deeply inspired by dufrene. the anthology presented here includes 10 crirhythms from different periods dating from 1965 to 1976.

also included is "osmose-art", a long piece from 1969 divided in two suites where dufrene superimposes his crirhythms to classical music. a similar technique was applied a few years earlier adding jazz music (specially drum and percussion pieces) to poems marked by strong lettristic esthetic. two of those "lecture-collage" dating from 1965 are presented here, as well as two "comptinuum" from his early on-progress works started in 1958.

françois dufrene also developed unique performances, with live reading of his written text. the most famous is tombeau de pierre larousse, published in 1958. this is a work half way between the written text and the sound poem whose unity is achieved through dufrene performing it. it's a masterpiece of synthesis of active poetry. "eryximaque, suite choreographique au tombeau pierre larusse" is also included in this anthology.

apart from the crirythmes that henri chopin issued on his revue ou disc magazine (the complete ou anthology is available from alga marghen as a 4cd set) and a few short pieces issued on obscure sound poetry anthologies in the end of the 1960's, françois dufrene work is practically unavailable. this 4lp anthology, conceived by the same author and privately issued as a 3 cassette edition in the mid-1970s, includes only previously unpublished sound works that finally fully documents the creativity of such a radical artist.

de-luxe heavy boxset edition limited to 345 copies.

another superb alga marghen pairing with curator guy schraenen; this time the catalogue (256 pages in french, english, and portugese, 110 of which are full-color reproductions of dufrêne’s visual work) to the schraenen-curated françois dufrêne show @ the musea serralves in porto, coupled (much like the “modern shit / artcoustics” set, only the disc fits into the book itself... and has something to do with the book itself for that matter...) with a disc of 60s/70s sound-poetry/tape-sound ruminations that boggle the mind ...

catalogue+cd

françois dufrêne (1930-1982) is one of the leading artists from the post-war european and french art scene. he played a key role in many of the initiatives of lettrism, nouveau réalisme and sound poetry. in françois dufrêne's oeuvre, art and poetry intersect in a reciprocal experimentation of the possibilities of transgression of their specific grammars. his oeuvre constitutes a singular example of this special relationship between art and language, which throughout the 20th century proved to be one of the most fertile grounds for expanding the limits seemingly imposed on western art via the history of artistic genres.

many of his artistic creations use objects retrieved from the urban context, such as posters or stencils, or use the voice in non-linguistic contexts. examples of the latter include his creation of the crirhythm , wherein he reinvented sound poetry and the relationship between performance and text.

the present catalogue attempts to present françois dufrêne's work as a totality, wherein it would be artificial to separate his status as a poet from that as a visual artist. poems, books, records, recordings, reverse sides of posters, stencils, films and photographs documenting the artist's actions are combined together in a mosaic that makes it possible to reinterpret françois dufrêne's work as one of the most singular adventures of his epoch, and also re-evaluate the relevance of the challenges he posed to contemporary culture.

the cd offered in the catalogue includes the fantastic crirhythm from 1970 titled "belle nuisances hantez nos nuits", the complete "osmose-art" from 1969 where crirhythms are superimposed to classical music, "eryximaque" and two "lecture-collage" from 1965 as well as the 1958-70 "comptinuum". all the sound works presented on the cd are also included in the 4lp boxset anthology issued by alga marghen and titled "oeuvre desintegrale".

full colour catalogue in a4 size, 250 pages, all texts translated in english, french and portuguese. the book includes a large selection of experimental visual works dating from 1957 to 1981 as well as the biography, essays and original texts (among them "pragmatics of crirhythm" and "the crirhythm and the rest" both from the mid-1960s). full discography and filmography are also included.

first edition of this large catalogue, the first ever to fully document the work of françois dufrêne.
