Response #4: Sound Poetry

I honestly sat and thought about this project last night (which I didn't realize we had to compile a sound clip for until yesterday), and I just seriously couldn't come up with any idea to pursue. I'm not sure I like most of the sound poetry we've been studying - it's certainly interesting as a theoretical exercise, but lacks some essential attractant in my mind - and the poetry I do like is more ethno-musical or simply plain music than it is poetry. I'm not a musician myself, so sound is a hard expression for me and something that will take some thought and practice. Whenever I think of something, even if it's late, I'll post it on here, but to be honest nothing more than a vague impulse has come to me thus far and I doubt that will change. I'd be much more comfortable mixing music itself than sound poems - the one example I did mix turned out to sound much more like music than any poetry. :(

Anyway, here's what I came up with...I'm going to be adding it to my project for a soundtrack...
