Read by Terry Casburn Production and Sound Design by Kevin Seaman

An internal conversation between the creator of iMMERSE!, Charlie Morrow & the producer of  iMMERSE!, bart plantenga. They've been working on the iMMERSE book-podcast-exhibition project for some years now & it was time to take stock of what they've learned & experienced... The fact is the subject of immersion, losing yourself in a context, a space, an altered consciousness remains fascinating. The podcasts are the offspring of the original iMMERSE! book ideas that came to the surface in 2019 as they reconnected after years of little to no contact. They hit upon a collaboration that continues full steam as they discover the depthless depths of immersion... samples used Sea • Delia Derbyshire   A State of Vibration • Wreck This Mess Mikro Kosmos -  Archea [Béla Bartók] • Charlie Morrow Mikro Kosmos - Amoeba [Béla Bartók] • Charlie Morrow   Train to the Plane • Charlie Morrow  Haiku Lingo • Shelley Hirsch & David Weinstein Silence Drawn 4'33” • Paloma Jet & Wreck This Mess HEADPHONICS  01 • Ryoji Ikeda Snake Oil Symphony • Daniel Steven Crafts beach day may 2018 • b/art Cymatic Frequency • Coldcut & Hans Jenny Wave Music III - 60 Clarinets & a Boat • Charlie Morrow 4'33" End Groove Conditional (Various) • b/art Zäuerli • Jodelquartett Säntis Beethoven Amalgam Piano Trio Opus 70 No. 2 & Grosse Fuga 1.1 • Charlie Morrow  Trafficante Onosphere • b/art subjects: immersion, Jerome Rothenberg, dentures, under water, undertow, drowning, marching band, bass drum, Dutch coast, dunes, nostalgia, memory, birds, writing, serotonin, cymatic frequencies, silence, chewing on a bone vs gossip vs science, cochlear implant, SPL – sound pressure level, ears always exposed, mental earplugs, death, drowning, yodeling, Robert Thurman, Tibetan Buddhist Death tales, fallling dreams, lucid dreams, NY Yankees, transistor radio, Mickey Mantle, power of sound, power of words, lifeguard, echo, echo location, soak in the bathtub, enveloped in warm water, Descartes, Plato's Cratylus, vibration, sense of smell, sight dominance, venue audio aesthetics, Kachun Yu, Halcyon Period, climate change, unstable earth, the valley as recording device, sampling, plagiarism, Beethoven was a sampler, notating folk music, Colin Turnbull, the Ik Tribe, coccoon of specialness, jingoism, the People, immersed in your own uniqueness, Infinite Distraction Syndrome IDS ...

Jerome Rothenberg was a legendary poet, translator and anthologist. His work on various poetry anthologies, including Poems for the Millennium were an inspiration for our Cascadian Zen series.

The Village Voice once described him as "a bizarre cross between Hendrix and La Monte Young." He's performed at most of the avant garde's hallowed halls including The Kitchen, Bang On A Can, Central Park Summerstage, The Knitting Factory, Tonic, the Deep Listening Institute, CBGBʼs as well as De Ijsbreker in Amsterdam and many festivals throughout Europe.  Other projects include working with the sonification of the atmospheric phenomena known as the Schumann Resonances and human brainwaves and other esoteric projects such as The Western Enisphere, a drone and micro-pulse acoustic-electric ensemble.

Our dreams are a form of communication; to get our attention and for us to actively tend to them. Whether it's a good dream or a bad one, our dreams want to tell us something we might not have listened to while we were awake. However, scary dreams tell us another thing. Maybe we haven't tended to them in some way for lack of resources to understand, while also trying to escape the difficulty in our lives in various ways, whether that looks like imbibing social media, other addictions, and various forms of escapism. But once we tend to our dreams that tend to us, we end up responding differently to the world around us. What do our dreams tell us and what are the insights and wisdom from the images we see in our dreams? Toko-pa, whose name was chosen from her parents from a book of poems called “Technicians of the Sacred” by Jerome Rothenberg, is a Canadian author, teacher, and dreamworker. She is known for her work in exploring the realms of dreams, creativity, and the human psyche. Through her writings and teachings, Toko-pa delves into the significance of dreaming, the healing power of storytelling, and the importance of embracing one's authentic self. She has authored books such as "Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home," and her website serves as a platform where she shares her insights, teachings, and workshops on these topics.

Gideon D'Arcangelo is a man of many ambitions. His main interests include the integration of virtual and physical worlds, working toward the design integration of physical, media, systems, graphic & content to ultimately create holistic experiences.  He joined Arup's New York office in 2019 where he is a Principal and serves as the Americas Digital Services Portfolio Leader  and a designer of interactive and immersive environments. He has been the VP of Strategy and Communications at ESI Design. He has worked on the Hall of Human Life at the Boston Museum of Science, and the Institute for War and Peace Reporting's web platform the Reuters Sign at Three Times Square, and the on-island and on-line ancestor search at Ellis Island Ellis Island Heritage experience.  Another focus has been the intersection of new technology and musical experience. He is currently a contributing producer for WNYC's Studio 360. From 2005-2008, he produced the series Listening In on “Weekend America.” In the 1990s, he worked with ethnomusicologist-folklorist Alan Lomax on the Global Jukebox, an illustrated database of world song and dance styles.  I met Gideon when he was a youngster, living in upstate New York in the 1970s where his family was based. His father, painter Allan D'Arcangelo – briefly as well-known as Andy Warhol - and mom Sylvia were close friends of my mentor and artistic collaborator, poet Jerome Rothenberg and his anthropologist wife, Diane. Gideon and I were more in touch after his time at University of Chicago and continue through to the present. His interweaving of creative and social threads, his easy and evergrowing technological learning is a driver of this constellation. Aside from the magic Gideon has brought to his own designs he has kept his father's extraordinary art legacy alive.  Playlist of audio samples A Future Harvest • Charlie Morrow Ein Feuer Aus Licht Und Liebe • Die Welttraumforscher vs Klangwart  Hamanamah • Klangwart Water & Ocean • Charlie Morrow Salmiana • Marc Sloan Insurrection Oratorio 1 • Charlie Morrow & Bread & Puppet Theatre O Yeh Charlie Echomix • Charlie Morrow & b/art Leave With You • 2XM Thalys bells + lobby & elevator & hotel ambience + mall muzak + distant trains + crickets + radio signals

A memorial tribute to Michael McClure with readings and remembrances by Russ Tamblyn, CAConrad, Margaret Randall, Forrest Gander, George Herms, Henry Kaiser, Jerome Rothenberg, Cedar Sigo, Garrett Caples, Paul Nelson, Lyn Hejinian, Andrew Schelling, Amy McClure, Jane McClure, and Joanna McClure. This event was originally broadcast live via Zoom and hosted by Peter Maravelis. Michael McClure (1932-2020) was an award-winning American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist. After moving to San Francisco as a young man, he was one of the five poets who participated in the Six Gallery reading that featured the public debut of Allen Ginsberg's landmark poem "Howl." A key figure of the Beat Generation, McClure is immortalized as Pat McLear in Jack Kerouac's novels The Dharma Bums and Big Sur. He also participated in the 60s counterculture alongside musicians like Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. He taught for many years at California College of the Arts and lived with his wife, Amy, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sponsored by the City Lights Foundation.

Federico García Lorca is Spain's best known and perhaps most beloved poet of the 20th century. Born in 1898, Lorca formed friendships in Madrid with a pleiade of young creators in the 1920s at the Residencia de Estudiantes, al of whom would become very influential in Spanish culture. He was killed by Nacionalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War when he was only 38 years old. Christopher Maurer, professor or Spanish at Boston University introduces in this podcast this major figure in Spanish culture.

Duende - Jerome Rothenberg: The Book Spiritual Instrument დუენდე - ჯერომ როთენბერგი: წიგნი, სპირიტუალური ინსტრუმენტი We have decided to make a two-part recording of Duende dedicated to the poetry of Jerome Rothenberg (see, also, Duende #1). In the current channeling, we shall hear several poems from diverse stages of Rothenberg's vast poetic practice, as well as a short excerpt from the conversation that Irakli Qolbaia conducted with JR in 2018. Three poems are presented in English and in Georgian translation (original recordings by JR himself). We shall also present translation of a text from which the title of this particular Duende channeling is borrowed (in itself, an echo of a seminal text by Stephane Mallarmé). „დუენდე“ თბილისის სათემო რადიოსთვის შექმნილი ყოველკვირეული აუდიო პროექტია, რომელიც რადიო ფორმატს პოეზიის უძველესი ფორმის, ზეპირსიტყვიერების თანამედროვე ფორმად მოიაზრებს. დუენდე ამ ფორმით მოგიტანთ ახალ ამბებს პოეზიის სამყაროდან. პოეზიის სამყაროში ახალი ამბები არ ნიშნავს სიახლეებს. „პოეზია არის ახალი ამბები, რომლებიც ახალ ამბებად რჩება“ - თქვა ეზრა პაუნდმა. „დუენდეს“ ამოცანა პოეტურ ხმათა და მიმართებათა სიმრავლეების ერთიან აუდიო ტექსტურაში მოქცევაა. როგორც ჟან კოკტოს მიერ წარმოდგენილი „ორფეოსი,“ პოეტური აქტი მართლაც ჰგავს რადიოს საშუალებით სხვა სამყაროდან გზავნილების მიღებას. ეს მეტაფორა ცენტრალურია ჩვენი გადაცემის კონტექსტში. პოეზიის მეტყველი პირით მსმენელი ყურისთვის გაზიარების აქტის მნიშვნელობას კარგად გამოხატავს ამერიკელი პოეტის, კლარკ ქულიჯის სიტყვები: სიტყვებს აქვთ თვისებათა სამყარო, რომელიც არ ემთხვევა აღწერით მიმართებათა თვისებებს. ესენია: სიმყარე, სიმკვრივე,ხმოვანი მოცულობა, ვექტორული ძალა, და გამჭვირვალობა/გაუმჭვირვალობის ხარისხები. გადაცემის სათაური ლორკას საეტაპო ლექციიდან არის აღებული. სწორედ ლორკას ეკუთვნის ესპანელების ამ ფოლკლორული ფიგურის, მიწის ზღაპრული სულის პოეტურ აქტთან დაკავშირება. პოეტი ებრძვის დუენდეს, და არა ანგელოზს, ან მუზას. მისივე განმარტებით, დუენდე ის იდუმალი ძალაა, რომელსაც ყველა განიცდის, მაგრამ ვერცერთი ფილოსოფოსი ვერ ახსნის. სწორედ ესაა პოეზიის ტერიტორია. „დუენდეს მოსვლა მუდამ ფორმების რადიკალურ ცვლილებას აღნიშნავს.“ მაუწყებლობა მიმდინარეობს ქართულ და ინგლისურ ენებზე.

DUENDE is a weekly audio project created by Irakli Qolbaia for Community Radio Tbilisi; it views radio format as a modern-day version of an age-old poetic form: oral poetry. In this form, DUENDE will bring news from the world of poetry. In the world of poetry, news does not imply actualities or novelties. Poetry is news that stays news, said Ezra Pound. DUENDE aims to confound the multiplicities of poetic voices into a joined audio texture. As in Orpheus imagined by Jean Cocteau, the poetic act is not unlike the messages from elsewhere received through the radio. This could be used as a core metaphor in the context of our channelings. Importance of the act of sharing poetry by a speaking mouth to a listening ear is well expressed by these words of the American poet, Clark Coolidge: Words have a universe of qualities other than those of descriptive relation: Hardness, Density, Sound-Shape, Vector-Force, & Degrees of Transparency/Opacity. The title of our channeling is taken from Lorca's seminal lecture. It was Lorca who linked this figure of the Spanish folklore, the earthly demon of inspiration and imagination, to the poetic act. A poet is struggling with Duende, not with an angel, or a muse. According to Lorca himself, Duende is that mysterious force that all can sense but no philosopher can explain. This is the domain of poetry. “The arrival of the duende presupposes a radical change to all the old kinds of form, brings totally unknown and fresh sensations, with the qualities of a newly created rose, miraculous, generating an almost religious enthusiasm.” (Federico Garcia Lorca, Theory and Play of the Duende) Irakli Qolbaia is a poet who was born and is currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia. Early on, he decided to follow an advice he found in a film by François Truffaut, Jules et Jim: "Travel, write, translate, learn how to live everywhere. Start right away: the future belongs to the curious by profession". Lately, though, he has come to question the part about traveling, for as Essie Parrish once put it: "I don't have to go nowhere to see. Visions are everywhere." „დუენდე“ თბილისის სათემო რადიოსთვის შექმნილი ყოველკვირეული აუდიო პროექტია, რომელიც რადიო ფორმატს პოეზიის უძველესი ფორმის, ზეპირსიტყვიერების თანამედროვე ფორმად მოიაზრებს. დუენდე ამ ფორმით მოგიტანთ ახალ ამბებს პოეზიის სამყაროდან. პოეზიის სამყაროში ახალი ამბები არ ნიშნავს სიახლეებს. „პოეზია არის ახალი ამბები, რომლებიც ახალ ამბებად რჩება“ - თქვა ეზრა პაუნდმა. „დუენდეს“ ამოცანა პოეტურ ხმათა და მიმართებათა სიმრავლეების ერთიან აუდიო ტექსტურაში მოქცევაა. როგორც ჟან კოკტოს მიერ წარმოდგენილი „ორფეოსი,“ პოეტური აქტი მართლაც ჰგავს რადიოს საშუალებით სხვა სამყაროდან გზავნილების მიღებას. ეს მეტაფორა ცენტრალურია ჩვენი გადაცემის კონტექსტში. პოეზიის მეტყველი პირით მსმენელი ყურისთვის გაზიარების აქტის მნიშვნელობას კარგად გამოხატავს ამერიკელი პოეტის, კლარკ ქულიჯის სიტყვები: სიტყვებს აქვთ თვისებათა სამყარო, რომელიც არ ემთხვევა აღწერით მიმართებათა თვისებებს. ესენია: სიმყარე, სიმკვრივე,ხმოვანი მოცულობა, ვექტორული ძალა, და გამჭვირვალობა/გაუმჭვირვალობის ხარისხები. გადაცემის სათაური ლორკას საეტაპო ლექციიდან არის აღებული. სწორედ ლორკას ეკუთვნის ესპანელების ამ ფოლკლორული ფიგურის, მიწის ზღაპრული სულის პოეტურ აქტთან დაკავშირება. პოეტი ებრძვის დუენდეს, და არა ანგელოზს, ან მუზას. მისივე განმარტებით, დუენდე ის იდუმალი ძალაა, რომელსაც ყველა განიცდის, მაგრამ ვერცერთი ფილოსოფოსი ვერ ახსნის. სწორედ ესაა პოეზიის ტერიტორია. „დუენდეს მოსვლა მუდამ ფორმების რადიკალურ ცვლილებას აღნიშნავს.“ მაუწყებლობა მიმდინარეობს ქართულ და ინგლისურ ენებზე.

Audiographics — or New Wilderness Audiographics — was a New Wilderness Foundation project of the 1970s. Audiographics offered a number of sound artists the opportunity to record a variety of works — experimental and traditional music, poetry, storytelling and other sound and language art — in a professional recording studio. His closest collaborator, however, was the poet Jerome Rothenberg, with whom, in 1964, he founded and co-directed The New Wilderness Foundation, which explored the avant-garde in all its dimensions, presenting concerts, issuing cassette recordings and, with another major collaborator, RIP Hayman, publishing EAR Magazine, which chronicled new and unusual composition as had no magazine since Minna Lederman’s legendary “Modern Music” in the years before the World Wars.    The episode features: Tom Johnson, Phillip Corner, Alison Knowles, Jackson Mac Low and Pauline Oliveros, Charlie Morrow, R.I.P Hayman, Richard Schechner and Joan MacIntosh and Ocarina Orchestra.

Born in 1931, Jerome Rothenberg is an American poet, translator and anthologist, noted for his work in the fields of ethnopoetics and performance poetry.  This from Wikipedia:  Technicians of the Sacred (1968), which signalled the beginning of an approach to poetry that Rothenberg, in collaboration with George Quasha, named “ethnopoetics,” went beyond the standard collection of folk songs to include visual and sound poetry and the texts and scenarios for ritual events. Some 150 pages of commentaries gave context to the works included and placed them as well in relation to contemporary and experimental work in the industrial and postindustrial West. Over the next ten years, Rothenberg also founded and with Dennis Tedlock co-edited Alcheringa, the first magazine of ethnopoetics (1970–73, 1975ff.) and edited further anthologies, including:- Shaking the Pumpkin: Traditional Poetry of the Indian North Americas (1972, 2014); A Big Jewish Book: Poems & Other Visions of the Jews from Tribal Times to the Present (revised and republished as Exiled in the Word, 1977 and 1989); America a Prophecy: A New Reading of American Poetry from Pre-Columbian Times to the Present (1973, 2012), co-edited with George Quasha; and Symposium of the Whole: A Range of Discourse Toward An Ethnopoetics (1983), co-edited with Diane Rothenberg. Rothenberg's approach throughout was to treat these large collections as deliberately constructed assemblages or collages, on the one hand, and as manifestos promulgating a complex and multiphasic view of poetry on the other. Speaking of their relation to his work as a whole, he later wrote of the anthology thus conceived as “an assemblage or pulling together of poems & people & ideas about poetry (& much else) in the words of others and in [my] own words. That imago – that representation of where we've been and what we've lived through – is something in fact that I would stand by – like any poem.” ...along with Nicholson Baker, Robert Graves and Laura Riding, pretty well summarizes what we talk about.

This event is a part of the “GIANT NIGHT: The Poetry Project at 50” platform series. Thought of as the pre-spirit of The Poetry Project, Paul Blackburn gave the first “official” reading of The Poetry Project on September 22, 1966.
