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?'

So this is an archive page of music processes I'd been involved in from the 20th century & maybe some early 21st century scratchy bits too.
Will include our very own Residents-like project Me Mams Dead Nice, collaborations with my old mucker Joel (we called ourselves The Love that Whirls) & Tim as well as collaborations with my brother Andrew. Other miscellaneous left-overs may feature too!

My two more contemporary music pages can be found here:

'Formed' in Bookham, Surrey in or around early 1988, mythical Marxist band Me Mam's Dead Nice would become a reality resulting in one helluva cacophonic nightmare.
Band members grew & grew, taking in one fifth of the population of Carlisle, Cumbria, eventually resulting in internal disparate disputes resulting in inevitable rupture, (or rapture) & ultimately disbandment in May 1990.
