BEGYNNEL
by Ingvar Loco Nordin
Ingvar Loco Nordin on BEGYNNEL:
In this piece I have used a very charged and extremely wellknown text; the first phrases of The Gospel of John in the Bible: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” I have superimposed this text, treated in various ways, on the voice of my friend, the vocal artist Hebriana Alainentalo. My aim was to play and dance – electroacoustically – with some historically charged words.
The title is part of an old Swedish word for Beginning: Begynnelse.

He works, however, just as much with his site Sonoloco Record Reviews, which mainly publishes texts about modern art music. Ingvar Loco Nordin has worked as freelancer at The Swedish Broadcasting Corporation’s art music channel. He is a poet and a writer, and one roman à clef – Veri Similia – is published on his site. He is a passionate racing biker, doing at least 30 km every day after work, year around, to stay in shape, and he hikes the northern Lapland mountains each year. He is a dedicated photographer (stage, nature and experimental), and worked with Karlheinz Stockhausen in Kürten for four consecutive years (as a writer and photographer).
Ingvar Loco Nordin’s sound art lies close to his heart, although it is conceived quite sparingly. Ingvar Loco Nordin studies Tibetan Buddhism.
