The Huge Entity: Acoustically Located Poetry

Acoustically Located Poetry

Sunday, May 27, 2007 → by Danieru

Sumptuous words, winding their cacophonic symphony down a symmetrical pair of ear canals - a surging rush of compressed air incites its violent pressure upon your ear drums. Here is where the symbols of language begin their emergence, feeling with sensual fingers of sound a passage to your brain. These poems are a record of these events, carved here in the stonelike skin of an internet entity for minds to meddle with. Click each and await indulgence:

How do I wonder?

(Pain Itself The Pain)
Many thanks must be given to one Branch Immersion for his genuine genius in matters of audio manipulation. Without his fingers these poems would still be mere marks on paper. You can hear more of his wonders here...

Hi, I found you via Blue Tea and found this entry fascinating. I'd enjoy hearing some of my own work in stereo. Intriguing.

You have great resources in your links; found the PennSound info. I'm writing about that on my own blog and will link to you as the source. Thanks. I'm looking forward to enjoying all that spoken poetry.

These are some interesting and strange sound experiments. I'm an intern poetry editor at the Missouri Review, and we're having an audio competition this year (for the first time). There is a category dedicated to poetry, and the prize is $500 for the winner. Winning entries will be featured on the website of The Missouri Review, as Podcasts, and made available to subscribers of the print version of the magazine. If you're interested, check out the entry information here:

And pass the word around to other audio artists who may be interested.
