I write in praise of the poet Johan Meskens. Based at Ghent in
Belgium, Meskens is a motion/action poet, visual poet, & net-artist.
I have followed the aleatoric & serialist work of Meskens since 2002,
with great interest & appreciation. Much of his work is profoundly
original & dynamic, in conception & in execution. Indeed, he is drawn
to poetry with a dialectical philosophy of music & noise, cities &
landscapes, & silence.
Johan Meskens admires the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Adolphe Sax, Jim
Morrison, & Albert Einstein. But in his own poetic work, he struggles
with contending elements: John Cage or Frank Zappa, Dimitri
Shostakovich or Ennio Morricone, Theloneus Monk or Charlie Parker,
Pink Floyd or The Doors.
To examine the aleatoric & poetic "music," & the "musical" serialism,
of Johan Meskens, go to
