Jaap Blonk's "Ursonate" is a captivating exploration of sound and language, blending free jazz, avant-garde, experimental, and spoken word elements into a unique and immersive experience. This album presents both studio and live performances of Kurt Schwitters' iconic "Ursonate," a seminal work in the world of sound poetry. Blonk's masterful interpretation brings a fresh perspective to this classic piece, showcasing his extraordinary vocal range and innovative approach to sound.
The album is divided into two main sections: the 1986 studio recordings and the 2003 live performances. Each section features the four primary movements of the "Ursonate" – Erster Teil, Largo, Scherzo, and Presto – along with an additional live performance of the "Cadenza." The 2003 live recordings capture the raw energy and spontaneity of Blonk's performance, providing a dynamic contrast to the more polished studio versions.
With a duration of just over an hour, "Ursonate" offers a comprehensive journey through Blonk's artistic vision. His ability to manipulate sound and language creates a mesmerizing soundscape that challenges and delights the ear. Whether you're a fan of free jazz, avant-garde music, or experimental sound poetry, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. Released on January 1, 2003, by Basta Audio-Visuals, "Ursonate" is a testament to Jaap Blonk's enduring influence and innovation in the world of contemporary music.
