More information

Sten Hanson worked with experimental music, literature and art since the beginning of the 1960’s, cultivating instrumental, vocal and electro-acoustic music for performance on radio and television, on outdoor occasions and from the concert platform. 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. Sten Hanson has been on numerous performing and lecturing tours all over the world. He was quick to realize the importance of the tape recorder as a factor in the renewal of poetry and the ability of text-sound compositions to break the isolation often experienced by an author in a small language area. His works include electro-acoustic pieces as well as instrumental and vocal compositions.
