Poetry, Field recording and the More-Than-Human Human

'I use this space to offer an experience of Sonopoetry, the voice of verses combined with field/sound recording.
Writing and composition marked the passage from pre-history to history for human beings. I firmly believe that writing&listening (active care/empathy and full attention to each and every sound from each and every living and non living being) could inform, guide and represent the Posthuman era that I'll call MoreThanHuman Human era -from sapiens sapiens to MoreThanHuman Human.
The contemporary alliance between the disciplines of Art, Science and Philosophy elicits the conceptualisation of the Posthuman that to me also implies the transition from the Anthropocene to the Age of Art as a driver of thought and vision. I advocate the responsibility to assign a 'more than human' meaning to the Posthuman concept, that's why More-Than-Human Human, in order to emphasise the human core and the genetic connection to bio and non-bio diversity as per the Biophilia Hypothesis.
Are we listening?'

I am a composer and sound artist with a strong interest both in Computer and Electroacoustic Music. My main interest is to explore the creative use of technologies in Art.
