letters aloud, reading sound. Reading letters as
words and words through letters. How a sentence
snapped in two will conjoin with the length of any
other fragment to generate new meaning. Poems, text

write. Writing seeing read. These are the parameters
of the gig, as well as hearing - hearing how living

the environment.<br>
