The poem is a recording
an experiment in improvised choreography
The material of the poem is performances
the necessarily fragmented notes
cut up
memories scrambled
to transcribe
the trace of those performances
the juxtaposition of words
‘motion’ and ‘capture’
Other Dimensions of Music
movements relation to confinement
the production of sound
bending and twisting after
notes
his own firmly planted
to cross over
quickening
of hands and breath
however weigh[t]ed down
wires, relays
his movement
writing
This phonochoreography
is concerned with a lot of the same
things
of a different order
autobiographies
all kinds of associations
of which I tried
to make room
for in the poem
however obliquely
back and forth
through music
I imagined a train moving
the sound of a horn
how my mother told me what she thought it was
I thought about
I lived called
fugitive
nocturnal
corresponded to
I wanted to imagine
stolen collectivities
a poem
trying to work this
tries to sound
move
old and new
constructs
