 Re-Charting Time

 https://soundcloud.com/jeff-gburek/recharting-time-927-dec-22

Featuring the voice of Ilaria Boffa reading her poem, "Charting Time" ("About Sounds About Us", Samuele Editore, 2019, page 38). Soundscape composed in live session by Jeff Gburek, December 22, 2020. Instrumentation: field recordings, synthesizer, prepared speaker elements, zither, ebow, wandering microphone, floorboards, cellophane foil, pumpkin seeds, glass jars, african shakers.

That window through which we look
it's your window.
A window with blinds banging
fiercely in the cold.
We chart territories, oaths,
peoples walking, mapping stillness.
Unexpectedness opens
and we face the crevasse, the vastness,
loneliness.
I've crossed time for you
past and future.
I'm here, immobile, a whiteness in me.
Leaning against this wall
I yearn for the calm.

'Ebb Tidal Delta, Findings & Intercourse

Upon progression, stasis.
The planimetry of transgressive deposits
detects nonconforming incoming signals. Findings?
Maximum flooding and ebb tidal delta on our faces afterwards.
Our channels capped and monitored by safeguard norms. We’ve been
rounding down our drives. The exercise of replacing intercourse with course
although an inter-course is a course between. Shouldn’t we map an intercourse?

For the sake of science.'
