collaboration w/ Mike Cannell

A few excerpts from a series possibly titled
"Безумно жить одной мечтой, ещё глупей"

(It may be mad to live by a dream,
but it is insane to live without one.)

A collaborative interaction with polypoet Mike Cannell; his energy and enthusiasm are boundless -- he's engaged in a wide breadth of poetic operations at which his hand is deft with the proper placement of elements essential for creating well-wrought works. Some people are born naturals, with an eye & mind in sync to the peculiarities of vispo -- I get the feeling from Mike that he's got that à la naturel ability. Lining the bits up proper, either dirty or clean, to achieve an inherent balance while still preserving the humming human sonority felt by the well-tuned lookreader. He also writes both prose and pwoermds. His soundpoetry is outstanding, operating both in the organic & the processed realm -- the soundpoems will loop continuously after downloading, enabling the looklistener to open a new window for further browsing while wrapped in the aural atmosphere. I particularly enjoy the 8:24 piece "assumption", one of the more processed soundpoems -- akin to a merger of Pierre Henri, Doc Wor Mirran & a Staalplaat noise-comp; after listening for awhile one is earholed into a psychedelische poésie sonore locale of lingual transmutations. Mike is still quite young and no doubt his work will further evolve intricately as he develops his particular strain of noisy poetics -- recently creating his blog in rapidfire intensity with lightnin' tipped fingers & thunder'dup vocality, its auditocular massivity is already gravitational and yet such depths left that we can witness the constellatory formation:

This collaborative exercise was a learning experience for me as I've never attempted vispo via computer due to my dim knowledge of the mechanics involved with even basic programming & I ain't got no fancypants softwares or "killer apps" for userfriendly manipulations -- altho now I may go looking for some freeware of the graphic sort. I learned that a merge of the analog with the digital can be interesting and retain a certain basic rawness. I'll probably post up a few more of the collab pix in the coming weeks -- being a recent blogger myself, I've learned that maintaining a blog has become a motivational prompt for me to create work (not just content, but work I'm somewhat satisfied with) and I need that little push or I tend to lurk in the marginalia of just thinking and not doing.

Even if the mortal is not alive that you are mirroring,
the head realizes it.
