Repetition of words void/vuoto/vacuum (English/Italian/Latino)helped me to express the sound of fowl moving noisily and ungainly.

'Ode for Void n.1, failing the shot

Chasing void like a duck. You can see it
taking off just above the water
the long neck directing. Ungainly.
A sense of urgency upon its beak
and wings. Where to go. Where to go next.
They rest on big trees, the ducks.
I saw two of them perched by a heron’s nest.
I failed the shot.*'

Ode For Void N.1 Failing The Shot

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 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 More-Than-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?'
