Sound poetry, text-sound
Poems in portuguese, french, spanish, catalan and english.
The purpose of this work lies in the musicality of language: language pushed to the limit of its phonetic entrenchments, evicting semantics for the benefit of sound, in a combinatory framework that generates its own architecture.
The text is built of snatches of conversation, malleable to a multitude of meanings: the meaning no longer reaches out to a passive listener, but one in a constant state of tension, in his attempt to detect the sense amidst the sound.
Or, at worst, surrender to the litany.
Behind what is said stands another language, resonant and inherent in every manner of discourse, which does not usually manifest itself, but, in this context, acquires a place which is its own by right: that of being, also, an object of communication.
