workshop
acoustic poetics
the music of language
acoustic poetry and electronic music production as a field of research and as an inspirational startoff point for writing texts of prose. where does language become sound? is there a semantics of sound? how does the acoustic world around us finds its way into literary narratives? what are the impacts of sound, rhythm, harmony and melody on writing and composing a text of prose? what practical enrichment can the knowledge of acoustic poetry, electronic music production and certain basic techniques of how to work with language as a soundsource and musical material bring to the process of writing? acoustic poetry can give us important technical and artisanal impulses on writing texts of prose as well as helping us to develop new narrative forms that oscillate between literature, sound and music.
