'The first language was poetry or a special way of singing words or meanings.'

'Poetry is in all kind of languages. That is why we speak of a “poetic” cinema/painting/music etc because the artist has managed to find the poetry in the material. The first language was poetry or a special way of singing words or meanings. I have worked for many years to put sounds and music together with poetry, and I have the feeling of not having arrived somewhere. I still do not know if it’s a good idea. The problem with combining poems with audio is that poetry in itself is already sound and music. But I keep on doing it, because I am sure that music and poetry communicates the same way. That means you should just listen to them if you want to understand them.'
