about

«Espèces d’espaces» (Species of Spaces) was published by Suppedaneum in 2014 as a limited edition of 50 archival CD-Rs presenting realizations of four scores by Bruno Duplant and Ryoko Akama based on the text of the same title by Georges Perec. For this project, Duplant and Akama each contributed two scores, with both artists together performing each composition. The approaches that were taken to transforming Perec’s work were diverse and included graphic notation, text-based composition, and concrete poetry reimagined as a musical score.

When originally released, each copy of «Espèces d’espaces» included elaborate presentations of the scores in the form of a jigsaw puzzle, text with transparent overlays, and vintage maps.

This was Suppedaneum 03.

“Species of Spaces. Everything is inscribed in this title: the games
with language and the wordplay; the desire to dissect, classify,
assemble, and reassemble; the invitation to envision a space, both
physical and mental (somewhat in the manner of Gaston Bachelard).

Space becomes, under his poetic pen, literally inventive; it is at the
same time the container and the contents.

Words on a white page, places, memories; so many species of spaces,
real and fictitious; senses and sensations that work alone or
together.

The work of Georges Perec, taken as a whole, is a magnificent hymn to creation.

The choice of graphic scores (with and without text) speaks for
itself, as does the decision to collaborate with Ryoko Akama, whom I
knew would have the taste and talent for such an adventure.”
