Michi Masumi Sonic Poetry

Welcome to my Sonic Poetry channel — a space where poetry, music, AI Assist, my culture, & lived experiences collaborate.

I am a British Queer Researcher in anthropology & a neurodivergent, disabled transdisciplinary artist, transforming four years of personal poems into art songs (poetry + music) as part of my research on how Black British women can use AI as an artistic assistant for lived experiences.

I explore how technology can support new forms of alternative counternarratives, grounded in identity, memory, culture, & the emotional realities of Black womanhood.

🎤 AI‑assisted vocals created using my earlier singing experience and 40 years of learning music by ear.
🎼 All poems/songs are written, arranged and composed by me.
📝 Autoethnographic storytelling, poetry becomes sonic data that reflects real‑time emotions
🎶 Eclectic musical influences.  acoustic storytelling, experimental textures,  inspired by the rhythms of the Global majority
