Reading Poems on Friday 31.1.25

The raw, unedited video of reading poems live.

We started out this one with some nice live synthesizer music. I do like the synth because it feels like you are changing the flow of water. Compared to the trumpet which feels like you are creating it.

Then we got into some poems. The first one I read was the translation of the first Bloody Sonnet. More about this project and history here:

We closed out with

. What a nice inspired poem from the Tower of Babel. He really combines art, literature, and weaves these into his poem. I’m especially a fan of the crazy fonts and tried (as best I could) to bring this into audible space.

Fiction by Pablo
Poem: Building Babel
Let us praise our creator, give thanks, and sing! "God, thank you for existing us! Nevertheless, we'll take if from here." Earth was an adequate starter home. But now we must lay these bricks, stack them thick, higher than mountains, past the Milky Way, so that we may meet our Father, face to face. And as brotherhood bloomed, the mortar was glued, the…
