Norwegian Dadaist Joek Friis’s 1927 classic is here again at last, brought back to life for the general public courtesy of Taped Rugs Productions. Similar in style to the Dadaist/Surrealist films of Hans Richter and Viking Eggeling, “Sukkeret Og Pepper“ (Sugar And Pepper) overlays seemingly disjointed vignettes, smudges, and situations, repeating themes and discarding logic in a bewildering cavalcade of imagery.
Avant Garde recording artist Charles Goff III lends a modern interpretation to Friis’s original score, incorporating a wide variety of sounds as well as several Scandinavian voices into the mix.
