Comment by Neil Gordon on February 8, 2013 at 2:37pm: Langpo is interesting! I was just reading about jazz musician Eric Doplphy who studied and jammed while listening to birds outside his house in L.A, we would literally play back what they said,etc. Any way... he discovered that they sang in "quarter notes"(Still have to look that up) then he taught that method to Coltrane. Maybe we can do "bird asemics-Langpo-whatever in "quarter notes,"- spaces???

Comment by John M. Bennett on February 8, 2013 at 2:21pm: Heh - stay away from langpo, the boredom will stress you no end!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 8, 2013 at 2:17pm: Thanks for giving that closure. I was having a Langpo post-traumatic stress seizure.

Comment by John M. Bennett on February 8, 2013 at 2:10pm: It will not cohere, it will cohere. (to paraphrase Beckett)

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 8, 2013 at 1:40am: OK, the Homeric line is dactylic hexameter - six stresses per line. If you were writing conventional poetry, you could come up with a flexible equivalent using 18-syllable lines. That's cheating but the basic idea.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 8, 2013 at 1:12am: That's even better. You have the translation issue. That's prose. Now I have to look up the Homeric meter because I don't remember.

You're chronicling the bourgeois-fication of Classicism.

Now I like the concept even better with the asemic & the classical epic, only you have a little chunk of basically 19th century discourse in there.That's deconstructive - unity is shattered or at least has a crack in it.

"It will not cohere."

Comment by John M. Bennett on February 8, 2013 at 12:07am: heh - that pewter sea text comes from The Odyssey!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on February 7, 2013 at 11:45pm: Your Asemic MC here. A warm welcome to the new folks! Don't forget to check group members for asemic mail-art trades. I am receiving some great work I intend to blog asap.

Wow, thank you all for these amazing posts.

Hi Fatima! I really appreciate seeing your work here.

Guido - I think the Brussels eco-asemics are extraordinary. Those rainwater symbols are unreal.

Thanks JMB - man, that found text with the boat on the "pewter sea" - totally conventional flowery realism - juxtaposed with your asemics & those minimalist shreds - that piece is speaking right to me.
