Burkhard Reinartz - Eine Olive Des Nichts

For Eine Olive des Nichts, Cologne-based radio author and director Burkhard Reinartz blends poems and texts by poets Tomas Transtr�mer, Adam Zagajewski and Philippe Jaccottet with noises, soundscapes, and music by Eivind Aarset, Jon Balke, Nik B�rtsch, Meredith Monk, Tomasz Stanko, Arvo P�rt, Morton Feldman and others into a unique amalgamation.

Within the stream of sounds the poets circle around the subject of what poetry means to them, in minimalistic statements. A listening space emerges with a naturalness and freshness that frees the interplay of words and music from the stiltedness of more conventional poetry settings.
