The Lake Isle of Innisfree
By William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Achronos X

El cuerpo de la danza es un horizonte:     
una cuerda floja vacía       
imantada de bruma tensa
                             
Aprender a mirarlo.     

Mientras la piel busca     
su definición en el aire.    

Cuando en su búsqueda     
el sonido delimita el espacio. 

Horizon

Sound Map of Hispanic Poetry 

(Ernesto Estrella Cózar / Marcelo Toledo) 

This project plans to develop through sound a fragmentary map of the poetry written in Spanish language throughout diverse time and geographical settings. The poetic and musical research that underlies this map would trace back to the latent states of Spanish language in the Middle Ages, also include the native pre-columbine musical and poetical realm, to then move across the Renaissance and Romanticism and into the most contemporary  revelations of poetry nowadays, both in its textual and its performative emergence. 

The goal of this map is not of a chorological display of poetry and sound, but an exploration of a rich tradition that would make these poems appear and act upon our present as a live tradition that can still today bring forth discoveries and a new sensitivity to both the poetry reader and the music audience.  Each poem, in this sense, will become a field for the exploration and display of a sound idea, this meaning that it will not only be thought on its historical background, but also be crossed diachronically by elements belonging to other poetic worlds. The aim is not that of collage, though. But an intense will to create material for both a performance and studio recording.  All this based on the belief that an enrichness of our senses and a change in the routines of the ear and the eye can occur when we set ourselves to create unexpected elements and share an altered perception of a text familiar to our background. 

The current state of the project includes poems by Antonio Machado, Juan Ramón Jiménez, César Vallejo, Federico García Lorca, Julio Herrera y Reissig and Oliverio Girondo,
