Reading with music on the 25th anniversary of Ernst Jandl's death

Ernst Jandl (1925–2000) was an Austrian poet who radically renewed traditional poetry with his innovative language experiments. His poems put the sound and structure of language at the center. Jandl masterfully played with sounds, words, and syllables to create new, surprising meanings. Works such as "schtzngrmm" or "ottos mops" show how he reduces language to its elemental building blocks and rearranges them to achieve unusual poetic effects.
Often humorous and sometimes absurd, his texts open up deeper insights into the functioning of language. By consciously breaking grammatical and syntactic norms, Jandl creates a poetic form that is both playful and intellectually demanding. Despite their experimental nature, his poems are never meaningless: they reflect societal themes such as war, power structures, and the alienation of modern man.
In this musical reading of Ernst Jandl's poems, the recitations by Manuel Karadeniz and the virtuosic accordion sounds of Daniel Zacher intertwine to create a finely tuned interplay. In Daniel Zacher's original compositions, musical sophistication and emotional depth blend into an intense sound experience. His accordion sounds add an extra dimension to the texts and reinforce the emotional impact of Manuel Karadeniz's linguistic performances.
