Poems without words, Words without meaning.
Singing to the sky (Patterns) is inspired by Raoul Hausmann's 1946 sound poem recording bbb+fmsbw .
It focuses on the phonetic aspect of voice and speech through recognizing three universal vowels (ee, oh, aa) in the human voice.
The piece invites the audience to construct their own sound poems and phonetic experiences by howling, speaking,crying,hemming,
singing, reading, roaring, screaming three vowels. Those sound bites create a string of three vowels projected in Chinese characters
through a variety of patterns.
