Sound poetry

Sound poetry is a form of artistic expression that emphasizes the phonetic qualities of language over traditional meaning. It involves the use of spoken sounds, vocal techniques, and sometimes nonsensical or abstract language to create a unique auditory experience. Rather than focusing on narrative or thematic content, sound poetry explores rhythm, tone, and how sounds interact. Performers often incorporate various vocal techniques, including layering voices, using harmonics, and engaging with the physicality of sound. This genre invites listeners to appreciate the aesthetics of sound itself, blurring the boundaries between music and poetry.
