4 Contemporary Sound
Poets
PLEASE NOTE: This 5.1 surround sound disc is formatted
to play on consumer and commercial DVD / BluRay players
in all regions around the globe. It is not a DVD Audio
disc. We provide two surround sound audio formats: AC3
and DTS. There is NO STEREO VERSION.
Pogus and the IMRC Center of the University of Maine at
Orono are very proud to release this 5.1 surround sound disc
4 Contemporary Sound Poets.
The technology embraced here is on two levels, the immersive
technology of surround sound, which now fifty years later is
still struggling to move beyond its origins in cinema, and
the powerful transformations availed by digital audio signal
processing. These technologies combine to form a new
frontier, a place to explore and expand the vocabulary of
contemporary music, sound art and, of course, sound poetry.
As Dean Suzuki notes in his essay for this release, ?While
it remains a relatively small niche in the arts, sound
poetry continues to flourish around the globe.? We would add
to that, that the integration of the bare human voice, the
original instrument of both language and music, and the
incredible digital technology of the 21st Century, might
just create one of the richest and most compelling forms of
art in practice today, and one possibly ready to expand its
?niche.?
Tomomi Adachi: Kurt Schwitters? sound poem Ursonate
is still a source of major inspiration for me. Since I first
performed this extraordinary work in Japan, it has provided
me with many ideas about language, voice and the
relationship between structure and material. I wrote my
first version of the work as Schwitters
Variations (2000), using four themes from the
original and developing them with the classical music form
of a ?variation.? The new piece included here, Ursonate
2, is my attempt to recreate the whole of Ursonate,
thus it follows the structure of Schwitters? original piece.
Owen F. Smith: Here I have produced six new pieces that draw
on my past work and specifically explored new possibilities
made viable through digital technologies. This work falls
into the category that Steve McCaffery has labeled as sound
poetry?s ?second phase?; as part of an ?...investigation
into language?s non-semantic, acoustic properties.?
Duane Ingalls: The pieces here evolved from poems &
instrumental improvs. They all deal with (some less, some
more) the loss of my marriage and of my Mom. They also
wrestle with the precarious relationship between acoustic
& electronic sounds, humans & computers, work &
play, art & life.
Jaap Blonk: Around 1985 I started to write sound poetry. At
first I used the common Latin alphabet, with different
pronunciations for the individual poems (Dutch, German,
French, English). But after a few years I found this too
much of a limitation and learned the International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA), making it possible to use different
pronunciations of the same letter in one text.
However, only too soon I found out that the IPA did not have
symbols for many of the voice sounds I used to make, and
started to extend it with signs of my own invention. This
developed into the - ever unfinished - system I am using now
for functional sound poetry scores: BLIPAX (BLonk?s IPA
eXtended). Using symbols of my own invention which represent
sounds that don?t occur in existing languages, BLIPAX also
includes instructions for the manual manipulation of sounds,
for the position of the tongue, for exhaling or inhaling air
and so on. This systematic study and categorization of
possible mouth utterings was a great help in assembling at
organizing the material for Inside
Outcry, for which I exclusively used my own sounds.
