It was with some trepidation that we awaited the third installment of AGF’s work on women’s poetry. After Gedichterbe (2011) and Kuuntele (2013), based on German and Finnish poetry respectively, rumour had it that that AGF was working on a Japanese project. We met in early July, just before the launch of A Deep Mysterious Tone. Despite being in the middle of her European tour, AGF has been incredibly generous with her time. Our chat moved from her recent work with an amazing group of collaborators, to her involvement in the Visibility Project and the Female Pressure Blog, and finally to her great work at a local level on the island of Hailuoto in Finland, where she currently lives.
So generous, in fact, that we are presenting this long interview in two parts.
Malcolm Angelucci: Thanks for chatting with us today, it is great to finally have the chance to talk about this great ongoing project that puts together history, poetry, electronic music and, in every new installment, a series of ‘voices’, collaborators that open so many new paths for us listeners… I know that you were working on A Deep Mysterious Tone last year in Japan… was it a particularly long production?
AGF: It all started with the German edition in 2010, where I developed the idea to research and use poetry of the old times to compose new pieces. And with Gedichterbe I discovered that it was beautiful research… I decided to approach it through a female perspective, and I looked for the first known female poem, Frau Ava (1060-1127), a religious woman… so I combined her verses with a rapper and we made a track out of it. It was an interesting methodology, to put old texts and old lives in dialogue with today…

“Après avoir lancé un appel en solidarité avec le Rojava et sa révolution, “female:pressure” (un réseau international de 1600 femmes de 66 pays différents, artistes dans le domaine des musiques électroniques en particulier), a sélectionné des créations parmi toutes celles qui lui ont été soumises.
A écouter, partager, diffuser.
A propos de la campagne de sensibilisation et de solidarité avec le Rojava
lancée par female:pressure en décembre 2015 :
►http://www.kedistan.net/2016/10/31/female-pressure-music
rojava-female-pressure« Cette campagne vise principalement à faire connaître le mouvement de résistance actuellement à l’œuvre dans les cantons du Rojava (situés en Nord Syrie) dans lesquels, à tous les niveaux de la prise de décision, les femmes sont engagées pour construire une société nouvelle fondée sur la justice sociale et ethnique, sur la liberté religieuse, les principes écologiques et l’égalité des sexes. Malgré d’importantes différences culturelles et historiques entre les pays occidentaux et le Kurdistan, cette campagne utilise l’art et la musique dans le but non seulement de les rapprocher, mais aussi, en impliquant autant de musiciens et d’activistes kurdes que possible, dans celui de construire des liens durables basés sur le dialogue et le respect.”
