Åke Hodell

Åke Hodell (April 30, 1919 – July 29, 2000) was a Swedish fighter pilot, poet, author, text-sound composer, and artist.

In his books, Hodell experimented with what he called elektronismer; on stage and in radio in the early 60s, he worked with text-sound composition.

The work is a piece of concrete poetry with long repetitions of minimalist variations on words, syllables and sound elements from a few simple sentences, e.g. "General Busy!

According to Hodell himself, the agency must express how a young conscripts' resistance to the authorities in the defense is gradually broken down, and how the conscience finally accepts ordering and blind obedience to the commanders.

The title refers to the fact that in the Swedish defense in the 1950s began to say that the commanders would be "bushy" and the crew's comrade, unlike the former cadaver discipline.
