Sukkeret Og Pepper (Part 1)

Norwegian Dadaist Joek Friis’s 1927 classic is here again at last, brought back to life for the general public courtesy of Taped Rugs Productions. Similar in style to the Dadaist/Surrealist films of Hans Richter and Viking Eggeling, Sukkeret Og Pepper (Sugar And Pepper) overlays seemingly disjointed vignettes, smudges, and situations, repeating themes and discarding logic in a bewildering cavalcade of imagery. Avant Garde recording artist Charles Goff III lends a modern interpretation to Friis’s original score, incorporating a wide variety of sounds as well as several Scandanavian voices into the mix.
