Jaap Blonk just arrived in Leipzig in order to grace us with his fine poetry. Here’s a few examples to get a slight taste of what Jaap is gonna do later tonight:
Jaap Blonk’s “Der Minister I” (1993)
And here’s a list of what we might expect tonight in concreto:
What will be the Dr Voxoid’s next move? Those who know him might expect a knight’s jump…but then they know he won’t do the expected. How about a king’s stately step this time? Or the bishop’s stealthy sneak-through?
Next time it might be:
- sound poetry (his own works and probably an occasional ‘classic’ from this tradition)
- songs in invented languages, for instance in “Onderlands” (the language of the Underlands, a synonym for Netherlands), in “GeenKrimpian” or in his personal English, “IngleTwist”
- phonetic processes, acoustic as well as electronic snippets of lecturing about odd topics, for instance “The User Manual”
- some Solos for Voice by John Cage
- soundscapes
- quotations from Final Letters
- improvisations and more…
- in the right mood & circumstances, he may even project some visuals.

Yupp, he’s coming for real! Jozef van Wissem will do a live score for Luis Buñuel’s surrealist classic “L’Âge d’Or” tonight at Luru-Kino. Thanks to Bundeskunsthalle we can even screen “L’Âge d’Or” from 35mm film roll.
Jozef van Wissem vertont „L’Âge d’Or“
Van Wissems Instrument ist gleichzeitig altertümlich wie ungewöhnlich: die 24-saitige Laute. Sein minimalistisches Spiel des barocken Geräts gründet auf repetitiven Kompositionstechniken und zyklischen Melodien, Überlagerungen und Verfremdungen. Das Resultat wirkt merkwürdig aus der Zeit gefallen, zwischen den Genres pendelnd: nicht Barock und nicht Industrial, weder Neue Musik noch Improvisation. Und doch alles zusammen. Enorm deep! […]
But why all this promo stuff. You’re all gonna come anyway tonight, right?

Yes yes, we know it’s quite a lot to ask of you to go to the movies ten days in a row. But hey, it might be your only chance to see Kim Ki-Duk’s most recent flick “Moebius” (in Germany for whatever reason also known as “Moebius, die Lust, das Messer”) on the big screen, […]
Btw, today is the last day that you can buy presale tickets for Jozef van Wissem’s live score performance tomorrow. There will only be a few tickets left at the box office. You know what to do…
Dear people, thank whoever (maybe not him) that our glue is persistent.. *hehe*
And thank us that we did not mix broken neon tubes in our glue (good old anti-Nazi strategy to keep posters hanging).. *hehe* ..anyway, the fact is: you won’t get the posters of the walls – what you can do instead: buy some of the still available, lovely screen prints! (Handsigned by Ricaletto.) They will be available at our screenings on Friday and Saturday at Luru-Kino, and Sunday at UT Connewitz.
Thanks to Edition Salzgeber for giving us the opportunity to show the film in Leipzig tonight for the first time.
