How does one translate a poet's unique style of reading into music? What can an instrument reveal about language and voice? Pauses, whispers, errors, clips, yells, stutters, exhales and inhales find their way off the reading stage, and into a derivative musical composition. As a result of collaboration with poets Bill Kennedy (Apostrophe, ECW Press 2006), Jordan Scott (Blert, Coach House 2008) and Souvankham Thammavongsa (Found, Pedlar 2007), composer Paul Swoger-Ruston has created three musical works that elaborate, re-imagine and recontextualize each author's distinctive text and voice.
