Biba Sheikh + Paradise Now - Give recompense

from No Lockdown Sonopoetics [in progress sessions] by Paradise Now + guests

/

about

Transcultures et les Pépinières européennes de Création ont demandé à plusieurs auteurs de différents pays d’écrire pendant le confinement leurs impressions poétiques, réflexions, interrogations...

-------------------

Ces contributions "confinées" ont été centralisée au fur et à mesure via une plateforme Web, certaines sous forme "de "journal" ou "correspondance", d'autres sous forme de textes ou documents visuels, multimédia... selon l'humeur et/ou la nécessité. Une sélection sera publiée dès le mois de juin sur le site de Transcultures.. L'ensemble de ces contributions originales (les textes pouvant être complétées par des visuels, sons ou autres sources multimédia) sera mise en ligne sur le site de Transcultures et pour certains, feront l'objet d'une publication papier au cours de l'année 2021.

En outre, une sélection de ces textes lus par leurs auteurs, ferait l’objet de mise en son par l'artiste et producteur Paradise Now. Certaines de ces pièces seront progressivement publiées en ligne à partir de juin et l'ensemble des ces pièces audio poétiques constituera l'album “No Lockdown Sonopoetics” édité, en septembre 2020, sur l'alter label Transonic, dans sa série Sonopoetics dédiée aux créations mêlant poésie/littérature vivante et création sonore.

-----------------------------

From a selection of texts - in the framework of the “Confined correspondences” commissioned during the recent lockdown period by Transcultures and the European Pepinieres of Creation and their No Lockdown Art programme - written by different authors/artists from different countries, the sound artist/producer Paradise Now has created several audio cinematic pieces from the the voices and read writings of these authors (and other guests for the occasion).

This material will be gradually published online, during 2020/21, before being released later as a discographic production (entitled No Lockdown Sonopoetics) on the indie label Transonic.

lyrics

Biba Sheikh - Give recompense
-------------------------------------

You have been working so hard.

No one worries about you.

You need protection

and feel not good enough, then got sucked into the machine.

So you look like a…Sepulcher....

A Body, not in the sense of dance.

It’s the machine

body… an apparatus

For the state.

'This body that will die' is how they view

you from the beginning...

And where is the burial?

In this country…?

There you are always

a foreigner...

In the aftermath of Covid 19,

Who will watch

out for you?

Who will give you

Money if you need it?

Put the force where there isn’t any...?

By remembering the sadness of opiate

addicts, now...suddenly thrust homeless, and

the street jargon of old junkies, by whom

we learn that the body is not the person…

but machine, malfunctioning...

Tomorrow's whispering, "please lend a helping hand

she had a heart attack…

she ran out of gas…

there is no money…

I am five months late on

the rent. She is my

landlady… Help me pay her.

you don’t get it. There’s nobody…

there is tension…

The enzymes are in a hole.

"Give Recompense…
