NIELSEN, CHRISTOPHER - ENFANT TERRIBLE VOL. 1 (LP)

"The cartoon composition "Enfant Terrible" was conceived as part of Norwegian cartoonist and artist Christopher Nielsen's project where he sought to express himself in as many art forms as possible within one year, 2014 - all for the purpose of being listed in the Guinness Book of Records. "Enfant Terrible" would thus have covered the fifth art form; music. And here lays the proof that "Enfant Terrible" is a composition: Four performers within the field of electronic music have interpreted the piece and the result is published on this album. While the attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records failed - it was rejected on general grounds, namely that "art" is not a measurable entity. But "Enfant Terrible" is a physical product, a vinyl record consisting of four interpretations and a booklet with the cartoon composition.The title "Enfant Terrible" refers to the combination of comics and electronic abstract music, or noise (noize), an art form and a musical genre which are both struggling with a frayed reputation. The two art forms combined should therefore result in the listeners being blown away! Listen to the album, follow the comics, and get a total experience. For Volume 1 of Enfant Terrible these four Norwegian sound artists have recorded their interpretation of the piece: Björn Hatterud, DANIEL MEYER GRØNVOLD & HÅVARD VOLDEN, Skrap, Jorgen Traeen" (label info)
