“…I am changed and changing…”: Collective Creation of a Sound Poem
May 21, 2024
14:00-17:00
Please RSVP to participate at: https://forms.gle/1JMPku4EdawtEtfaA
Canadian poet Elee Kraljii Gardiner and Denmark-based sound artist Eduardo Abrantes invite vocalists, poets, musicians, or people who have curiosity about creative processes, to explore recording a visual poem as a sound piece. This investigative and improvisational session will be held in English. Light refreshments will be provided. We welcome people of all backgrounds, languages, disciplines, and ages. The session will be audio recorded and participants will be credited in the final work. We begin promptly at 14:00, so please be on time.
The poem, written by Elee, is related to a project published in the Canadian literary journal SOME with poet Chris Turnbull. Elee explains, “I’ve been collaborating with nature doing durational installations based on pieces of clothing and poems left outdoors in the temperate rainforest of Vancouver, Canada. I monitor the sites to see how they are changed or weathered by the elements and wildlife and record how the poem becomes tattered, covered in fungus, and softened by rain. How might we echo this aspect of the text in a sound piece?”
Elee and Eduardo will facilitate the group’s experiments at vocalizing the poem after which Eduardo will set/alter the recordings.
