  "All that has black sounds has duende...." Gabriel Garcia Lorca

Sounds of the Soreal

Use this book to explore the sorealism in music , indeed any other sound event. Again, like the visual arts, it's actually quite hard to define sorealism in something as clearly internal and emotional as music. Music is so vibrantly subjective.

However, stars make their own tunes as you can hear in our astronomy section, so music is also out there in some profound and objective way. So help us discover what sorealism means in musical and even dramatic forms - because our first joint sorealist art work SOUL MOTEL - should be included this category

Here's what we said in 2006

   
 

Sorealist fringe
Out of the Mainstream
The music world is so dominated by 'head sales', the quick hit overnight wonders, it's hard to find the real stars of  Sorealist music. But they're out there, and few come with more soreality than Kevin Coyne

A real master of truth, someone who did his last gigs with tubes up his nose and oxygen tanks connected to 30 people in. He almost owns the genre.

But it's no surprise, given the Spanish roots of surrealism, that flamenco is also a  key component of the new sorealism...

Flamenco and Duende
From Solea to Soreal
"The duende, then, is a power, not a work. It is a struggle, not a thought.... The duende is a momentary burst of inspiration, the blush of all that is truly alive, all that performer is creating at a certain moment"

Lorca's description of duende  has no better living  example than Paco De Lucia, not just some of his solo virtuoso performances, but also when he was found sitting on a chair playing for the sublime and Soreal Camaron De La Isla.

Nominate your own
The field is too large...
...to be dominated by Myspace and the download charts. The test of Soreal music is in the hearing...

Font runners in the genre could be Wreckless Eric, Paul Simon, Shostakovitch, Lust Faust and Tom Waits. But this is all up for grabs... Are Schubert and Nick Drake too introverted? What about Neil Young and Shostakovitch? Eminem has to be in with a shout doesn't he?

We're not the experts: you are.  Why not nominate via the Wiki anyone you think deserves to be a Sorealist Music Laureate and tell us why.
