Description
Book Synopsis
Chambersonic imagines the book as an acoustic chamber. This collection of poems, essays, performance scores, and audio recordings comes alive with documents, rehearsals, and reverberations, all populated by an ensemble of players, instruments, and materials that make sound together. A conductor fades in and out; the audience acts as choreographer; agencies, noises, and situations test their volumes and energies - until voices morph into rebellious notation, signalling the near-silenced, the dissonant, and the ignored.
Review Quotes
"Chambersonic extends what is presumed possible on the page ... [a] rich and varied collection." - Klara du Plessis, Arc Poetry Magazine
"[An] oceanic theatre of language, image, and sound." - melanie brannagan frederiksen, The Winnipeg Free Press
"Chambersonic ... feels like walking through two kinds of interior spaces: one is a rehearsal or performance space where music is being composed and played, the other is the mind-space of the artist reflecting on their practice." - Janani Ambikapathy, The Poetry Foundation
