as well as the specific Norwegian letters æ, ø, å, and an exclamation mark for good measure. As a unique offer, the first 500 prints sold were accompanied by a limited edition 12" vinyl disc, signed and numbered
with a new Magne F composition, titled ‘Word Symphony’. ‘Word Symphony’ is a unique project that takes as it’s foundation the vocals of MORTEN HARKET exclusively from a-ha’s
highly acclaimed album “Foot of the Mountain”. Magne has composed and constructed ‘Word Symphony’ using these existing sounds as raw material, whereby he deconstructs,
stretches and reconfigures the vocals, taking them out of the original context melodically and linguistically, and
creating a completely new piece of music in its place. In this ground-breaking experiment, the lyrics are thus pushed
into new and unchartered territory. Much like the way Magne’s letters are re-constituted by the viewer, so Morten’s
vocals, already such a signature in people’s minds, are contorted, manipulated and re-presented by the artist. As there were some production problems with the first batch of vinyls delivered; came as pale, almost see-though vinyl
instead of the originally planned deep purple, a new batch of vinyls was set into production. Those who had ordered
early (available through Paul Stolper Gallery web-site only and word given to fans subscribing to the Magne F mailing
list only !!) were then treated to BOTH vinyls to reward their patience. The price for the package including an original Magne F (letter of choice) plus the limited edition 12” vinyl record
was £370 incl. VAT, but excluding shipping (!) NOW is YOUR chance to secure the sold-out vinyl only !!! Vinyl tracklist. A. 1. Before beautiful beginnings. 5. Mmmyeahee. 7. No mystery, no meaning. 8. Making it real from memory. B. 2. You & I with me. 3. Come backwards. 4. The adjectivist. 6. Re verb orator. The titles give away a bit of the contents. Track 3 (b-side) is a given :-) as is track 4 (b-side) the adjectivist
+ track 6 Re verb orator ! I will leave the rest to be a massive surprise :-) Magne F quotes on the process and contents of the project: I. “I like the idea of deconstructing constructions - my own or other people’s. The alphabet can be seen as a kind
of ‘before’ and ‘after’, as a marketplace of unused possibility, a place of components of possible words and as a
scrapheap of language where all the meaning and intention is reduced to its smallest fragments.” II. "As the titles imply, it's perhaps a little more Magne f than Mags, but in actual fact it's ALL Morten. Nothing
but, as they say. Oh, well, you do the math. Whatever it is is music and havoc." III. “I see the Word Symphony as a re-circulation project, taking apart something meticulously constructed, then
melting and moulding it into something else.” Make use of this RARE OPPORTUNITY to own an a-ha / Morten Harket / Magne f-release UNIQUE IN EVERY WAY !!!
