about

5 songs after Gertrude Stein.

The book Tender Buttons from 1914 is probably the most innovative work of Gertrude Stein. In this book she tries to bring together the world before her and her language, but both, the world and the language are in process, everything moves. This mode of perception destabilises the normative and hierarchical order of language, of syntax and signification. The texts in Tender Buttons, however, are not sound poetry, although through their visceral sonic qualities they seem to demand recitation. They are not word-music, although the loosened tie of grammar and syntax generates a certain rhythmic quality. Transgressing the paradigm of the sentence, Stein still writes sentences. Transgressing the paradigms of narration and description Stein still creates texts. Transgressing the paradigm of text, Stein's texts in Tender Buttons promise to be music, but because they are still texts with words and sentences, they at the same time lack music. The unfulfilled promise of music trigger a strong desire for music.
My Tender Objects, 5 Songs after Gertrude Stein succumb to this desire.
