In collaboration with Anne Le Troter and the Radio Metanoia collective from the Ville-Evrard hospital in Bondy, France
Martin Bakero offers a performance based on a recording made with Anne Le Troter and the Radio Metanoia collective from the Ville-Evrard hospital in Bondy, France.
Poet, composer and psychotherapist (TheraPoet), Martin Bakero has explored the boundaries of what he calls “acous(e)mantic poetry”. After his musical training at the University of Chile’s music school, he continued to study electro-acoustic composition at the Paris Conservatory. He is now a researcher at the University of Paris.
Working on material and immaterial supports, he leads free associations with artist, mystic and scientist friends and explores resonance, string physics and super-asymmetries. Through the use of radio devices, antennae, sensors and the discovery of new reading and writing technics, he explores the boundaries between sound, sense, smell, vision, action, hallucination and gesture in poetry.
Bakero has initiated several revolutions, including the creation of the Pneumatic Cabaret, the FESTINA LENTE festival (a laboratory of acousmantic electropoetry), and the founding of poetry movements such as “Poetic Revolution”, Casagrande and “Foro de Escritores”. His explorations have given rise to “eletropneumatic” and “acousmantic” poetry.
