Triptyque van De Stijl. Part 2: The Poetry of Sound
In times of great changes, this work was created as an homage to experimental poetry during the days of De Stijl.
In 1920, Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondriaan and Antony Kok set down their ideas of De Stijl in a manifest on literature: ‘the naturalistic cliches and dramatic word films book producers provide us with, meter by meter and pound by pound, don’t contain the new handles on our lives. They should provide these new handles themselves.
The Ursonate of Kurt Schwitters is an iconic Dada sound example against war, nationalism, protectionism and the establishment. The reason Roland Kruit uses this sound poetry, is to transform his fears into beauty. Fear that progress has come to an end, and all that’s left, is degradation. How to create art on the ruins of society? By using unsettling artworks as an antidote. By creating a rove through the human soul, finding new values in a digitally quadraphonic terrain of vocal spectrums. Human speech can be seen as a train of monoliths, vertical sounds as spectral stacks of sinus tones. Roland Kuit, using technical aids, turns this spectrum, and crosses the data in the newly created three dimensional fields. This may be done arbitrarily or using arrhythmical structures. The world premiere of his work was at the Festival Internacional de Música Experimental en Vallecas, Sonikas XIV, Madrid, 3 December 2016.
