It seems that I was in error the other day, when I linked sound works from the critic, poet, avant-garde composer Ingvar Loco Nordin . Here are the corrected links (please check them out for context—they are excellent. Jesse provides some brief commentary below—from the orginial blog posting here. The errant post was titled: “Received and Recommended: The Goodie Bag”.

Korean Glass. Nicely done chime playing (glass?) accompanied by a South Korean talk radio broadcast at the end. This grounds the rather son-like chimes in the current political situation, especially if one doesn’t know what the broadcasters are saying. I’ll have one of my Korean students give it a listen and report back.

Brain Waves! Our favorite red-haired, sound poet/shamaness Hebriana Alainentalo mixes it up with Ingvar Loco Nordin with some out-of-this-world vocals.

Lagboekeri Volume One. Ingvar Loco Nordin takes us on a voyage through an aural landscape worthy of Rimbaud’s “Drunken Boat.” The cover of this CD shows the young Ingvar Loco Nordin sitting at the head of his class totally aware of his visionary powers.

We will consider Nordin’s Monster Drownage and what could be his masterwork—Erez—in a future posting.

Ingvar Loco Nordin is one of the most responsive critics of new sounds on the Internet. Visit his great website for more information. Click here.

As a sidenote, I recently discoverd a piece archived on NPR, about editorial mistakes in The New York Times. Apparently the longest length of time a correction was printed in the Times after the original piece ran was a whopping 49 years.

It corrected an editorial from the 1920s that argued that Goddard was wrong and rockets couldn’t operate in a vacuum. (Of course, the correction was printed two days after Apollo 11 was launched.)

So we’re still 49 years ahead of the Times! Sorry Ingvar Loco Nordin!
