As you’ve probably heard me state before Never Records is not about music. Sure music is often the currency of sound, but I’m much more interested in the fellowship of recording and the teaching of the transcendental science of record cutting. To this end, Never Records is really a scripted performance by me in which I lead participants on a guided meditation of sound. 

Some of my favorite Never Records tracks aren’t songs: the architect Elvis Achepol in Kansas City giving directions to the prairie, the cosmologist Paul Malone giving a lecture about the electric universe in London, BJ Nilson’s piezo electric recording of the lathe cutting itself, the evening call  to prayer recorded at the ruins of a citadel in the center of Amman to name a few.

Today we’re going to focus on poets and we’re going to begin with Brooklyn Poets.
