About
Jerome Rothenberg's soundscapes pulse with poetic narratives. His works, like "The Opening of the Horse Song (1970)," merge voice with tape — synthetic and raw. Rothenberg's regimented approach to sound intertwined with his commitment to experimental formats. Labels like Edition S Press and New Wilderness Audiographics carried his sonic evolution on cassettes and reels, each release a club-ready artifact for the avant-garde. "Horse Songs & Other Soundings" echoes across the decade, a recurring motif in his catalog, offered on both tape and reel through the mid-'70s. Rothenberg's collaborations with figures such as Jackson Mac Low and Ed Sanders position him firmly within the experimental core of the era. His multi-format releases reflect an angular vision that transcends traditional boundaries. "Reading from POLAND/1931" and the self-released "Panic Press Series" are testaments to his unyielding drive to push poetic sound into new territories. Jerome Rothenberg's legacy, although inactive since 1985, remains foundational within the realms of contemporary classical and avant-garde sound.
