Description

Charles Amirkhanian speaks with the experimental poet Herman Damen, author of “Langer Vers” (Stays Fresh Longer), and editor of “AH! Magazine.” Holland’s leading “verbosonic artist” or “language designer” was interviewed by Amirkhanian in Amsterdam on December 12, 1973, during which he discussed his artistic concepts, and introduced some of his text-sound pieces, most of which were commissioned by Ab van Eyck, the drama producer of the Dutch radio station NCRV. Damen, born in 1945, was also a member of the Poesia Visiva group of Italy. (from KPFA Folio)
