The creativity of Bernhard Lang and beatnik poetry
Abstract
The article analyzes the early period of creativity of the Austrian composer Bernhard Lang (1957), whose unique artistic method absorbed both the foundations of the philosophy of postmodernism: Deleuze, Derrida and Bergson, as well as the ideas of experimental cinema — Martin Arnold and the literary concepts of the “broken generation” of William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, along with musical phenomena marginalized by the academic avant-garde tradition, such as jazz, free improvisation, techno or progressive rock of the seventies. The analytical focus is on writings that are in one way or another connected with the English literature of the beatnik generation. The final section concludes that the interest in automatic writing, in order to penetrate the musical essence of the unconscious, as well as the “obsession” with a repeating acoustic freeze frame and the subsequent musical embodiment of Deleuz’s concept of Difference / Repetition in Lang’s work fit into a special digital perspective of the musical minimalism.
