Combinations of poetry, reggae, and dub.  All music by me.  Poems by other people.

Rasta Poets

This piece is made up of the following components:

* Gertrude Stein reading her poem "If I Told Him" (recording from [Penn Sound](writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Stein.php))
* A recording of black holes colliding from the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) Scientific Collaborative

If I Told Him

Major thanks to Malka Older, the novelist, for having generously contributed her own reading of her short story "The Divided" as the subject and source audio for the 400th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project.

Malka Older – The Divided – Part 9/9 disquiet0400

I'm using the Croaker reggae riddim.  Instead of traditional drums, I'm using rauschen to create a beat.  There are bits of Ezra Pound reading "Hugh Sewlyn Mauberly (Contacts and Life)".
