Stiløvingar No. 29 Perfektum [Exercises in Styles No. 29 Present Perfect]

In Panzerpappa, we continue our quest to musically interpret the 99 small texts which constitute the extraordinary literary work Exercises in Styles by Raymond Queneau. This is the 20th variation, or exercise, to be released. This time, Steinar has tackled exercise No. 29 which in Norwegian is entitled Perfektum. Directly translated, this would be Present Perfect in English (the title of exercise No. 29 in the official English translation is Past).

With the title in mind, Steinar started pondering on the concept of perfection. On the one hand, objective perfection is only a theoretical ideal in this imperfect world of ours. But on the other hand, a subjective, perhaps even naive, sense of perfection might be experienced in brief moments when you feel that everything is «perfect». It might be a starlight night sky, a dead quiet sea surface on a summer’s day, or perhaps the tiny hand of a sleeping infant. Or just the feeling of wind rushing through your hair as you hurl down the highway in a signal red cabriolet? In all its imperfections, here is Panzerpappa’s interpretation of Exercises in Styles No. 29 Present Perfect.
