Jörg Piringer Tokyo Sound Poetry Festival (2012)
Amanda Stewart Tokyo Sound Poetry Festival (2012)
Maja Jantar Tokyo Sound Poetry Festival (2012)
Sound poetry is a genre falling midway between music and poetry, removing meaning from poetry and emphasizing its acoustic aspects. It is considered an important field of contemporary art where experimental music and poetry meet. The aim of this festival is to get sound poetry — not yet been properly established or practiced in Japan — recognized as an act of contemporary art for the first time.
