I'm toying (just toying) with the idea of starting a soundpo podcast. There are free services for it,such as podomatic and such. the idea came in a dream.

Geof Huth's Atlanta reading

I see Geof has posted about his reading in Atlanta. I Liked the poems in the vids he posted, The polyphon and Geof Huth's "Man as Green as Eye" particularly caught my eye (trying to imagine Geof as the green man of myth, leaves sprouting out of his mouth while his beard becomes grass)

That good e-freind of mine, Troylloyd, was lucky enough to talk to him and get photographed with him. Jammy git. This is one of the few times I wish i lived in America (very rare). oh well.

making

more technical difficulties

As Supload seems to be playing up at the moment (it keeps insisting that the file I'm trying to upload is either toobig or not an allowed file, even though I have made sure that is not true) I will not be posting any sound poetry for the time being. my pc is being slow and juddery(It may be the heat, the weather here is sweltering at the moment)and seems to freeze at the drop of a hat. It's getting better, but it's still quite bad.

hurrah!

my technical problems are over. I'm going to continue working on the colab with Matt Dalby, and i'm waiting for Troy to get back to me on our colab.

change

We could go on forever about how things changed. Quarks composed symphonies and atoms moulded matter into art. The sky raged on with orange clouds and purple space between them. Grass grew in time-lapse, jerky speed. Buildings were dwarfed by Hollywood bushes (symbols of death that surrounded the Georgia guide stones, scaring birds into silence). I could not stand it, I just couldn’t stand it. Please-let it end, please? It didn’t. The earth split open like a decaying fruit. We are the mould, festering on its surface. We are the decay. Smelling ripe and falling apart over time.

On my hatred of snow

I hate snow. It’s horrible stuff that sticks to the underside of your feet, like mud during a heavy rainfall in a field. Don’t people know where it comes from? During the night giant pigeons (the size of Volkswagens) float menacingly down our streets, cooing in their own revolting way. They then proceed to excrete on the lanes, lawns and byways of our villages and towns. Though these are cold loads rather then the usual warm muck you see on windscreens, you can see the chaos it causes. These are a different kind of pigeon I should mention; these are ancient avians with frost on their beaks and knowledge as old as the universe in their raisin black eyes. They drop this tip-ex whiteness down, blanking out what they regard as a mistake. That means us. Humans are wholly unacceptable to them. Of all the species whose civilisations have touched this earth, the humans are the ones they hate the most. This is mainly because we don’t feed them I expect.

a dead poet in my refrigerator

Yesterday I found William Carlos Williams in my fridge. He was lying (crushed like a crushed car cube) on the top shelf. He was dusted with frost, his blue flesh flecked with ice. His glasses were askew and caked so thick with the effects of the cold they looked like coke bottle bottoms. His tie was tucked underneath the cheese and his left foot was poking through the gap between the slats of the fridge shelf he was perched on. Isn’t it strange, the sort of things you find in the fridge sometimes? Dead poets too.

pc problems

thats well, I still have computer problems. I still can't send emails, but I can receive them. my disk space problem has reared its ugly head. I have run out of stuff to delete, so I'm probably going to get an extra hard drive and dump a load of my stuff there. It means that I can't work on the audio goodness Matt Dalby has been pouring into my inbox, but I invite him to keep on, because I'll work on it when I can. I'll be able to work on the Troylloyd colab, once he gets better from the stomach virus thats layed him low recently. Hope he does get better soon.

The room (in memory of Andrew)

And so I came to sit again, alone in a room dusted with years. It’s a room that has had another occupant. He died all too soon; car crumpled like an un-ironed suit. This room no longer has a bed. I have a table here where it was before and I rest my poem filled computer here to sit and think. Papers and scraps of thoughts are strewn all over the floor. A flag is pinned on the far end of the room, near the ghost haunted corner where I keep my art books. Every area of space in the room is occupied. Every inch. Every spot. By dust, books or music. Not much else, other then me. Alone but not alone, isolated, but with company. Words and images, sounds and similes. Looking at emotion and trying to put it in some order. Maybe I will at sometime, but this room is still watching me. I prefer to wait until he has fallen asleep, sung into a stupor by the hum of the traffic and the constant fluttering of the leaves, falling from trees that look as though they have been planted upside-down, roots pointing towards the sky like frightened worms. I would like to think my silent friend can sleep despite the fact that we have removed his bed. We all need our sleep. Even the dead.

Amanda Stewart on Silliman's blog

I'm listening to a reading made by the Australian sound poet Amanda Stewart That I found of Ron Silliman's blog . Reminds Of Lily greenham. The qualities of the female vocal cords compared to the male is interesting. When I say that she reminds me Lily Greenham it isn't because she's a woman its that I find her hybridisation of sound and textual poetry and her delivery similer.

a get-well-soon poem for Troylloyd

ein stichhaltiges Gedicht für Dirk Helstrunk

Ist hier ein Gedicht für Dirk Helstrunk, mit der Unterstützung von babelfish. Ich bin sicher, dass dieses nicht genaues Deutsches ist, aber wenn Sie es zwar zurück in Sprache zurückführen, Sie etwas interessant erhalten konnten. Ich versuchte, Deutsches zu erlernen (durch den Gebrauch der Klebebänder) aber fuhr nicht fort, passend zu uni. Möglicherweise beginne ich Unterstützung wieder

a belated poem for the 61st anniversary of the Roswell incident which was a few days ago, according the beware of the blog(I only found out today).
