Recitement contains 17 different compositions in seven different languages and styles, arranged and composed by musician Stephen Emmer. Classic and modern spoken word is performed by famous writers, singers and actors, but then reinterpreted in a fresh way to compose new and original music to each vocal performance. Recitement can be characterized as both retro avant garde and accessible. Is it spoken word pop? Is it a contemporary audiobook? Or is it a music album? Recitement is all of the preceding.
Contributors are Lou Reed, Richard Burton, Sylvia Kristel, Jorge Luis Borge, Remco Campert, Allen Ginsberg, Hugo Claus and many others.
