Ã…ke Hodell
Åke Hodell (April 30, 1919 – July 29, 2000) was a Swedish fighter pilot, poet, author, Sound poetry, text-sound composer, and artist. Biography Hodell was the son of author Björn Hodell and brother of actor Ulla Hodell; the film director Laila Hodell, born in 1944, was his daughter. Hodell trained as a fighter pilot, but after a crash during practice on July 17, 1941, he had to spend the next few years in hospital. This was a turning point, and he became a dedicated antimilitarist. Lying in hospital, he got to know author Gunnar Ekelöf. Hodell published his first book, ''Flyende Pilot'', in 1953. In his books, Hodell experimented with what he called ''elektronismer''; on stage and in radio in the early 60s, he worked with Sound poetry, text-sound composition. During this period he was also active at ''Pistolteatern'' in Stockholm. He created the book publisher Kerberos. One of his visual artworks, the piece "220 Volt Buddha", was used as the album cover of Swedish Heavy ...

Heavy Metal Music
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a Music genre, genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, monumental sound characterized by distortion (music), distorted guitars, extended guitar solos, emphatic Beat (music), beats and loudness. In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers – British bands Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss (band), Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,Walser (1 ...

Sound Artists
In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the ''reception'' of such waves and their ''perception'' by the brain. Only acoustic waves that have frequencies lying between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz, the audio frequency range, elicit an auditory percept in humans. In air at atmospheric pressure, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of to . Sound waves above 20  kHz are known as ultrasound and are not audible to humans. Sound waves below 20 Hz are known as infrasound. Different animal species have varying hearing ranges, allowing some to even hear ultrasounds. Definition Sound is defined as "(a) Oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement, particle velocity, etc., propagated in a medium with internal forces (e.g., elastic or viscous), or the superposition of such propagated oscillation. (b) Auditory sensat ...

Musique Concrète
Musique concrète (; ): "[A] problem for any translator of an academic work in French is that the language is relatively abstract and theoretical compared to English; one might even say that the mode of thinking itself tends to be more schematic, with a readiness to see material for study in terms of highly abstract dualisms and correlations, which on occasion does not sit easily with the perhaps more pragmatic English language. This creates several problems of translation affecting key terms. Perhaps the most obvious of these is the word ''concret''/''concrète'' itself. The word in French, which has nothing of the familiar meaning of "concrete" in English, is used throughout [''In Search of a Concrete Music''] with all its usual French connotations of "palpable", "nontheoretical", and "experiential", all of which pertain to a greater or lesser extent to the type of music Schaeffer is pioneering. Despite the risk of ambiguity, we decided to translate it with the English word ''co ...

With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness
''With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness'' is the second studio album by the Swedish death metal band At the Gates. It was re-released in 1993 with '' The Red in the Sky Is Ours'' and again in 2003 with bonus tracks. This would be the last album with guitarist Alf Svensson who left the band after its release. Background information Anders Björler, the guitarist, described ''With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness'' as At the Gates' "darkest album", and deemed the album's production as "heavier" than the group's previous work. Tomas Lindberg, the vocalist, said of the album cover: "The cover ..is probably my favorite. It is a piece of art made by Swedish author/artist/composer Åke Hodell. The piece is called 220 Volt Buddha. Åke approved for us to use it for free, after inquiring about the music of the band and our approach, as soon as he understood that we were a non-commercial act. He has composed several pieces of abstract music, written radio plays and novels. You could c ...

Poet
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator (thought, thinker, songwriter, writer, or author) who creates (composes) poems (oral tradition, oral or literature, written), or they may also performance, perform their art to an audience. The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or metaphorically. Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the literature that (since the advent of writing systems) they have produced. History Ancient poets The civilization of Sumer figures prominently in the history of early poetry, a ...
