La Materia Verbal / Antologia de la Poesia Sonora Peruana [coll] – [Buh Records]

aarbor   10/4/2023   12-inch, International

An amazing collection of 22 Peruvian sound poems from 1972-2021. Sound poetry is a way to bring the sounds of speech, the poet’s own voice, music and technology together. There are poems that use montage techniques, either because they explore simultaneity or juxtaposition, [A1, B2, A9, B1, A10, B3, B7, B6, B8, A8, B11, and B12]. Others emphasize vocal performance: like the phonetic poems [A4 and A5], the concrete conceptual poems [B10, B9, B5], and the oral/guttural poem [A6]. There are also poems which start with the creation of a computational parameter or algorithm [A2 and A7], eventually using Artificial Intelligence like the poems A3 and B4. AArbor
