Ora 12 … Poetics
Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin, with Kristen Kreider

In the 12th episode of Ora, Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin are joined by Kristen Kreider, author of Poetics and Place: The Architecture of Sign, Subjects and Site (I.B. Tauris, 2013), to discuss poetics in relation to writing and listening. The three animate a dense discussion, scrutinising notions of voicing and silent reading, sound and sense, repetition and noise, towards an appreciation of material poetics in relation to sound—a discussion dense, as ever, with a diversity of samples and examples ranging from Anton Bruhin to Denise Riley, from Roman Jakobson to Lisa Robertson, from Kurt Schwitters to Richard Kongrosian.

Why quietude? What characterises quietude as different from silence? In the 8th, and so far noisiest, episode of Ora, Daniela Cascella and Salomé Voegelin produce a quiet space for reflection: reading poems and listening to steps and voices, looking at erased pages and considering urban spaces, from names to translations, from echo chambers to sirens.

the ghost of a sound past
the ghost of a sound present
the ghost of a sound future
For our special Christmas episode, we chose to record our own version of a Christmas Carol, voicing or evoking or recalling the ghost of a sound past, the ghost of a sound present and the ghost of a sound future. We invited David Toop to be our guest in a conversation that took on the shape of a polyphonic reflection on time, memory and anticipation. From a goblin story of some bells to forgotten voices from the south, all the way to stars down to earth.
