Ingvar Loco Nordin on LITEMERKAFFE:
The voices are my father Helge (1904 – 1992) and my mother Viola (1911 – 2007), cut from some interviews I did with them in 1989 and 1990. The other sounds stem from close surroundings, like the squeaking door of my Son Ivan’s room, a carpenter working outside the house, a bottle that I blow into, a glass used as a percussive instrument, the water slurping into the sink and so forth.
The title needs an explanation: I did a number of short textsound works, akin to this one. In one of them I took part with my own voice, asking my parents if they wanted some coffee (at one of the interviews). I called that piece Lite Kaffe (Some Coffee). When I made a variation of this piece I called it Lite Mer Kaffe (Some More Coffee) – and that is this piece, with the words pulled together, into LITEMERKAFFE (SOMEMORECOFFEE).
