There is an interesting call for sound poetry going on now by soundpedro. Sound artists and composers, please read on:
Call for Sound Poetry: Unsightly
If stuff like non-ideational text, transmogrified by way of asemic recitation; sonic code transcendence; or setting ineffability to lyrics is your thing, then submit an original sound poem or a recitation via ArtzSuze (see link below).(Sound Poetry is the absolute musicalization or sonification of the linguistic into non-verbal orality. Meaning is meaningful, experiential, auto-compositional but not lexical.)
In honor of Hugo Ball (died 14 Sep 1927), creator of “Karwane,” (Cabaret Voltaire, 1916), FLOOD seeks recitation of an original sound poem or of another’s work. We are looking for Sound Poems up to 60 seconds in length.
