Like all collages vivants and audipoets, audipoeta is bereft of utterance. It hearkens artfully and has no say. Their listening always sounds the same.

PARTICIPATION
Proposed work as accepted for soundpedro 2020:
The Fuse – Adaptable Redacted & re-Realized
One wall has a printout of the poem Adaptable with vowels blacked, or cut, out
Opposite Wall has the poem with the consonants blacked, or cut, out
The Audio speaker on the vowel side plays the poem, read by the author, with the vowels carefully edited out
The Audio speaker on the consonants side plays the poem, read by the author, with the consonants carefully edited out
Record the individual vowels and consonants (out of context) and recreate poem
Multiple voices
Introduce time variance (tracks drift off)
4 variation of the audio (each play 15 minutes)(1 hour loop)
a. consonants only
b. vowels only
c. all random
d. poem normal (still vowels one side consonants other side)
More notes:
Vocalizing the poem is art in itself
I want to be inspired by the composition
And, weekly create a soundscape based on the inspiration
