Harry Partch (June 24, 1901 – September 3, 1974) was an American composer. He was one of the first twentieth-century composers to work extensively and systematically with microtonal scales, writing much of his music for instruments he built himself, tuned in 11-limit just intonation.
Sten Hanson (1936- ) made his appearance in the early sixties as an experimental poet and composer. From an early stage he was aware of the importance of tape-recording techniques in the renewal and development of poetry’s resources. Text-sound-visual image, often combined with intensely personal ‘live” performances, are vital ingredients in Sten Hanson’s artistic workmanship and he is ore of the forerunners in the field of multi-media art. His works include electro-acoustic pieces as well as instrumental and vocal compositions.
Firework Edition Records was started in 1995 by Kent Tankred and Leif Elggren. A company that was emanated through the project and performance group The Sons of God which have been doing extrovert work since spring 1985. Firework Edition Records is also related to the publishing company Firework Edition that was started by Thomas Liljenberg and Leif Elggren in 1982 and was a sort of consequence of the ongoing project Firework started in Stockholm 1978.
Firework Edition Records moves freely between performance, music and the visual arts, and whose productions often reach a point where traditional aesthetic boundaries, limitations and concepts are eliminated. Firework Edition Records observe and document, experiment and ask questions, build up and tear down. They leave it to the listener/the viewer to take what he/she wants or simply leave. Firework Edition Records is a platform for contemporary sound art.
