Defining a human space through poetry and its ‘artificial resounances’

Ambiente sonoro per lettura intima poetica

Poet Eugene Ostashevsky reads his poems from the book ITERATURE (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2005, www.uglyduklingpresse.org) at Brusci’s studio in Berlin, march 2007. In december 2007 Brusci starts composing and mixing hypothesis of sound worlds obtained processing Ostashevsky’s recorded voice. Here are some first music pieces, with the reference to the poem and to the book. The music pieces are intended as an expressive sound habitat surrounding the intimate and private book reading. Multiple sound versions - generated from the same recorded poem - are conceived to explore the habitat responsiveness to the mental reading experience.
