Next To Of Course God America

Cut-up, fold-in and slow motion techniques as a representation of a state of soul, in words and sounds.

Sonopoetry by Ilaria Boffa
Field recording, wheat fields at 'Anello dei Colli Euganei', by Ilaria Boffa
Pic wheat fields, by IB

'The Value of Everything

When the wind blows 
wild on wheat fields
colonies of bee-eaters twirl 
in and out the canopies. 
Up and down they
rearrange air space.
A cut up technique 
of intermittent trajectories.
The value of watching
their change of pace
on each leaf bent.
Catching sight of nest holes.

The value of living
life folded in half.
Two linear texts juxtaposed
and unequipped for
restoring meaning.

The value of standing 
still, on hold.
The value of everything.'

Summer Gain Again

Track from the album 'Zijn'.

I have recorded the acoustic guitar in my home-studio with the doors open, you can hear some background noises like birds, cars in the distance. I have added a drone to the recording and a strange delay which sampled fragments from the recorded guitar and randomly give it back.

About the album:
I have continued to work with A=432Hz tuning, exploring the possibilities of sustained sounds. I have been working towards an even more static atmosphere than on my previous albums.

I'm very interested in the role of time in this kind of music. The sounds have a different effect and meaning depending on how long they last. To me, the music becomes a vehicle to accomplish a meditative state.

released November 15, 2021

Instruments used on this album: Acoustic guitar, Acoustic guitar with ebow, Sustainer guitar, Soma Lyra 8 synth.

SECOND WIND (lyrics B. Snaith)

When 'Home Sweet Home' is wearing thin.
When you feel the bones
Through the thickest skin.
When all your hope is full of holes.
When your bag of dreams has got punctures in...

How can you believe?
When there's no room to breathe
And all you swallow is vacuum.

You must hold it all in
Till you get your second wind
Then you blow it to your friends
In a kiss of life.
To break the spell.

Tell me, how is it you stay awake while the rest suffocate?

Seabuckthorn - And Bickers Into Colour

Even in solitude, the desire of a little man has become the desire of another, the desire of a certain alter ego, which dominates over him and whose object of desire becomes henceforth his own misfortune.

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?'
