Literary sound-artist Pauline Gloss will present an evening of new and recent work in the text-sound / sound-poetry tradition. She will perform a new piece for electronics and spoken voice, conduct a participatory language game, and present her new cycle for solo voice, “Lullabies for the Psychotic.” Pauline’s current body of work is concerned with how the smallest bits of language– in both their sonic and meaning-making dimensions– can, through repetition, variation, and syntactical rewiring, create temporary sonic and semantic meaning-making structures. Her work investigates and foregrounds the physicality of language by rendering it architecturally. She makes of its discreet bits semantic and sonic building-blocks whose stability is always already in question.
