On Friday 22nd of April at 22:00, the sound-poetry artist Thomas Havlik will perform at ResidenceSEA in Heraklion. “Krpff: Syllable Space Flooding” is sound poetry using speeches of politicians and recordings of demonstrations to create an expressive field of interpretation, flooding the space. Sound poetry is an artistic form bridging poetry and musical composition, using the phonetic aspects of speec instead of semantics and syntactics; "verse without words".
Thomas Havlik, born 1978, from Vienna, Austria, creates art on the borders of text, sound, visual and performance-poetry and is co-editor of the Vienna based online sound poetry magazin www.huellkurven.net, dedicated to sound poetry, noise poetry, sound-text composition, auditive poesie, letter-sampling, performance. This month Thomas is at the ResidenceSEA for further developing a work that was tested for the first time last month in Zurich, at Cabaret Voltaire Zürich (CH), and in London at the Austrian Cultural Forum.
