Narrative by Ilaria Boffa published on 2020-12-11T12:34:06Z Sonopoetry and field recording in Venice 2020 by https://soundcloud.com/ilaria_boffa Special thanks to Venetian poet Francesco Sassetto for being my 'Cicerone' in Venice and to Signor Ernesto Ortis, recently passed away*, for his story of hard work and sacrifice, for sharing his intimate memories and for his kindness. Narrative poem 'Interviews and chats to document and track eustasy. Snatches of narratives amidst passersby’s cheers! and shoves. Microcosms of shopkeepers emigrants and migrant education programmes, gondolier union protests. Evictions. Beside charm and rapture room for wretchedness. Isn’t frailty hostage to habits? ‘Amore, it’s always been that way’. And in the midst of scandals and laissez-faire, ‘Latteria Ortis’. Dairy goods and social role. Grocery delivery service for community building since 1952. Year after year the racket of people trading, exhibiting, copulating discarding and sedimenting the lagoon’s Holocene strata. Geological sequence stratigraphy induces sea level changes. The amplitude of our actions investigated by VHR seismic profiles. The amplitude of our day after. Possibly a VHRsp is all we need.' * https://www.veneziatoday.it/cronaca/ernesto-ortis-morto-venezia.html Genre sonopoetry Comment by No Mates Ensemble so evocative... i travel with this :) 2021-07-05T09:19:43Z Comment by Ingvar Tautra Great, immersive in its form and contents. 2020-12-27T22:55:26Z Comment by Malady of Knots Enjoyed this trio of pieces very much, thank you for opening my ears 2020-12-19T11:08:32Z Comment by Oriental Force (Oriental Love a.k.a Kaya Takada) amazing experimental texture !! 2020-12-12T15:29:06Z Comment by P è n i n ș o l a r Since 1952...)
