The data patch will identify pauses in the poem and randomise them. Hence, pulling words further apart, splitting them in two, or pushing them closer together, creating new sound-word-hybrids in the process, which will be based on the internal logic of the spoken poem as it was originally performed. In effect, this might leave a moment longer to understand, or make it a second harder to catch up with what is being said. Words that carry more weight because of their emphasised intonation might be pitched even lower, or inverse, their emphasis might be lifted completely. Sentences that are spoken quickly might be made even quicker or slowed. | The data patch will identify pauses in the poem and randomise them.

By playing with these parameters of spoken word the poem is given a unique performative rhythm each time it is heard, which will (re-)shape the poem itself and influence the comprehensibility for the listener. In the process this will reveal to what degree these elements of spoken language play with language and cognition within the poetic genre. | By playing with these parameters of spoken word the poem is given a unique performative rhythm each time it is heard, which will (re-)shape the poem itself and influence the comprehensibility for the listener.

This theme of ‘sound research’ i.e. questioning how we hear speech is inspired by Diana Deutsch’s research into ‘Musical Illusions and Phantom words’ | This theme of ‘sound research’ i.e. questioning how we listen i.e. hear, perceive and understand speech is additionally inspired by Diana Deutsch’s research into ‘Musical Illusions and Phantom words’ | ||
