Sleeping Poet, cassette 135

(3:19) The Sleeping Poet is what happens when I'm waiting for sleep, and the earplugs I'm wearing create a kind of speech-center feedback from the blood pounding in my ears. Or something like that.

This piece consists of an attempt to create a poetry from the resulting phrases, chopped up via an Excel spreadsheet, in the spirit of William S. Burrough's pioneering work. Listening back to it, maybe I sound a little too "announce"-y. But I want to do more with this kind of found sound, and this bit is an introduction to the idea.
