The piece Oertaal, by the Belgian sound artist Paul A.R. Timmermans, is part of his first record release Meta, which he self-published with his neighbour and friend Badouin Oosterlynck. With it, he moves into the realm of concrete music and sound poetry, creating a groundbreaking and highly individual work. Using only his voice and reducing it to fundamental fragments of language, he lets the listener get very close to him.
