Field recording made in a blockhaus in Zuydcoote.

Antiblockhaus

Hiding away again, Vera starts to feel her psychological stability falling apart.  She continues to pray to anything that will hear her pleas to save her from losing herself while trapped alone so far away from home, and no sign of hearing from Vincent and his team.

Sonopoem, old recording of myself reciting the Italian poem 'San Martino' by Giosuè Carducci in primary school (circa 1982) by https://soundcloud.com/ilaria_boffa

'Foreign

Re-imagine, re-design, reset, rewind, restore, rebuild, recover.
Everything I felt I knew is foreign to myself.
Everything that animates me separates itself from itself.
I am the signifier, the signified, the phoneme.'

These verses urge to go back to Innocence.
I encourage the listener to read 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' by William Blake.

(ITA)
Re-immagina, riprogetta, resetta, riavvolgi, ripristina, ricostruisci, recupera.
Tutto ciò che sento di conoscere mi è estraneo.
Tutto ciò che mi anima, separa sé stesso da sé stesso.
Sono il significante, il significato, il fonema.

Poetry, Field recording and the Human Human

'I use this space to offer an experience of Sonopoetry, the voice of verses combined with field/sound recording and music collaborations.
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 Human Human era -from sapiens sapiens to human 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 Human Human, in order to emphasise the human core, the genetic connection to bio and non-bio diversity as per the Biophilia Hypothesis.
Are we listening?'
