SOME PERFORMANCE ARTISTS           Några Performancekonstnärar

try to act in silence                                         vill agera utan lyd alls

but if they succeed                                           men om dom lyckast

the audience keeps listening                         lyssnar publiken i forts.

and what they hear is noise.                        och det dom hör är støy.

 

ANY                                       SAMMA GAMLE GNITNE FAEN UANS

WAY                                                                                       ETT:

NO ART ESCAPES RHYTHM                    INGEN KUNST UTEN RYTME

AND RHYTHM MAKES MUSIC              OG RYTME SKAPER MUSIKK

AND LOTS OF ARTISTS BECOME         OG MANGE KUNSTNERE BLIR

ENGAGED IN MAKING OR USING    OPPTATT AV Å A:LAGE, B:RUKE 

MORE ELABORATE MUSICAL FORMS               MER AVANSERT MUSIKK

AND THE POINT IS                                                                                  OCH POÄNGEN ÄR

 

oltaim i tambutaims                                                    alle tider er forbudstider

and you may follow the law                                 og du kan godt følge loven but you should never obey the law     men vokt deg for å adlyde lovens (palindrome non-functioning in English:)                              VOLD = LOV.

the performance art of today.             dagens performance konst i rörelse.      

 

Today it is common to use                                       Det er nå vanlig å B:ruke digital devices                                                                     digitale re: medier

the artist’ bodies and other objekter  kunstnerkropper og andre objekter

which may resonate into soundscapes     som kan resonere til lydbilder

but as we all know:                                                              menn, som alle vet:

common corporeal objects         vanlige gjenstander og kunstnerkropper

has very clear musical limitations             har musikalske begrensninger

and digital devices need inputs.        og digitale vidundre trenger inputs.

 

And what inputs do performancers utilize? Og performancekunstnerne?

They sample natural sounds                                 Dom samplar simpla ljud

or sounds from instruments                   eller ljud från ett instruMENtarium

designed for opera houses.                                  desajnad för konsertsalar.

 

But all over the world                                   Men över hela fucking worlden

there are materials for new instruments         finns ämnen för nya instr.

to be played in new ways     som skulle kunna spelas annorlunda

to yield  sounds unheard              och som skulle kunna alstra ohörd ljud

and all sound artists should tune in              och om ni ljudar dessa ljud

the world could turn more live than real            kann världen andas ut från                                                                                                            värkligheten

you should listen                                                                                            hör till
