unworded sound poem, 2018. Graph paper, graphite, ink, 29.7 x 42cm. 1:00min.
Sound assistance Mara Schwerdtfegher.

Undoing the traditional hierarchies of sound producer (voice) and recorder (device) – similarly writer/reader, performer/listener – this parenthetical poem composed of sounds we might call noise or hum is a stuttering assemblage in the digital register that moves attention to the listening body.

Loss, eruption and interference become structural elements in a material poetics of transmission. With something to ‘read’ while listening.
