“Once again made it with only a whisker to spare. October’s sound poetry CD-R is out now for only £3.
It’s called array and features 12 tracks. They explore simple facets of vocal sounds from plosives to sibilants by way of breaths, scream, whispering and laughter. Some tracks are tightly scripted while others are wholly improvised.
Other than tweaking the volume up and cutting sections off the beginning or end of certain tracks there is only one major edit in production. The various ‘i’ tracks were a single long track consisting of two elements. The first was a drone, made using a loop pedal and then reversed. The second was a vocal track played twice over the reversed drone. The whole track was then split into sections.
Seven microphones of varying quality were used at all times.”

Oh, by the way. Did you see SALT’s new poetry blog? Lots of lovely stuff there, they are right on the ball when it comes to marketing, that’s for sure.
