The first installment of our “Stiløvingar”-project is due for release on Bandcamp on Friday July 2nd! These are the first four of a total of 99 (!) variations on the same theme, based on Raymond Queneau’s book “Exercises de Style” from 1947.
Anders and Jarle presents Panzerpappa’s ambitious Exercises in Style-project. They talk about its inception, the making of the initial theme, and the intriguing literary concepts of Raymond Queneau and the other members of OuLiPo.
