exercise
listen to the soundpoem by lemaître that you can download on this page and create a score. imagine the soundpoem does not already exist, and the speaker/soundpoet has to know how to recite/perform it, solely by the use of your self-produced score!

think of the score as a piece of art in itself. try to find a way to bypass syntactic problems, also considering using i.p.a. (international phonetic alphabet). the score should be as close to the audio-recording as possible. (please note that the class "european loveletter" also deals with the i.p.a.)

take a look at and listen to the example below!

to send your score please go to participation!
