The Sound of Experimental Poetry

"The Sound of Experimental Poetry" is an auditory journey through the intersection of language and sound, where poetry abandons traditional structure in favor of raw vocal expression, sonic manipulation, and avant-garde composition. From the layered spoken explorations of Patti Smith and Soundwalk Collective to the rhythmic vocal experiments of Brion Gysin, this playlist highlights the many ways artists have pushed the boundaries of speech and music.

Featuring works by pioneers like Ivor Cutler, Jaap Blonk, and Charles Olson, the selections range from tape experiments and fragmented phonemes to hypnotic text recitations and electro-acoustic compositions. Whether it’s Kathy Acker’s raw literary performance, Lars-Gunnar Bodin’s electronic vocal collages, or Arrigo Lora-Totino’s dynamic phonetic poetry, each track offers a different perspective on the musicality of language, making this a compelling listen for those drawn to experimental spoken word and sound poetry.
