Speaking Straight

Hazel Smith and Roger Dean


This piece of computer-interactive sound poetry is one of a series being composed by us with the use of software written in the Verbal Interactivity Project (VIP). VIP is a development by austraLYSIS, with special input from David Worrall, and operates in the programming language Python. The computer-interactive performer uses multiple computer voices, which choose and speak parts of the currently active or preceding texts in a variety of ways. The texts originate from Hazel's writing, but are transformed progressively; the performer can take control over these processes or drive them algorithmically.  






The Prizes

Francis Raven


How important are other people's experiences?  Are they ours if we

think about them?  What's the difference between your house burning

down and a friend's house burning down?  Or maybe that's just a way of

justifying stealing another person's experiences for your own gain.

Children of the Rhine 2010

Jasmine Tutum


Children of the Rhine 2010 is an exploration of Germany's "Rhineland Bastards" of the Third Reich,  and  my interpretation of this history as a mother of bi-national children in today's Germany . The personal, the historical and the political in living breathing words. "Electronics and Wha" by Ralf Freudenberger.









Paper Don't Mean to Hurt You (Radio Edit)

gtrabbit


This piece borrows audio from video games, poetry readings, my own voice, cable news, pornography, and a disassembled toy piano, among other sources. It was recorded in my apartment using a usb microphone and my computer speakers, slowly layering tracks over each other. Though the foundation of the work is improvisational, it has gone through a great deal of digital editing.

The Word was Disorder

Shane Jesse Christmass


The word was disorder; however the word depended on certain physical factors.  One was that there were clouds all anguished. Would I content action? The gallows in mist of the tall malady ; New are these transpositions. . . permutations of the word - that transform in any order ; It's my garden & the people are mine, mine. Eternity and Heaven are just psychotic pharmacists ; this composition chooses to cook you another way ; o'er shoulders bare. . . Enjoy the sonorous poesy. . ..

The little words that I like so much (George Oppen)

Atlanta Poets Group (with babies)


This piece was performed at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center on June 3, 2010, in collaboration with artist David D'Agostino. This is a diagram showing approximate positions within the space. Except for a recording playing during the performance, the piece is entirely acoustic. The babies are not ours.
