P​é​ter E​ö​tv​ö​s - Tales

from Transmigration by Various

about

The voice articulates the body and its orientation in space, mapping limitations and connecting or severing interior and exterior. The disembodied voice catapults us into an alternate reality, one that traverses a plethora of temporalities and spacial realms simultaneously. Peter Eötvös spent many years creating vocal works using language to determine the tone, rhythm, intervals and form of his compositions.

In 'Tales' (1968) the voice of story teller Piroska Molnár reads passages of Hungarian folk tales collected by Gyula Ortutay. Eötvös experiments with the process of traditional story telling and composing by superimposing reel to reel tape played at 3 varying speeds. The result is a trinity perceived by Eötvös as preconception, comprehension and resonance.
