The Air in the Text Operates the Form of the Inner Sound is a work composed and performed by Miguel Azguime – actor, musician and reciter. The performance revolves around words (words as meaning and words as sounds) and around the gestures of writing, which can be regarded as instrumental, and thus musical gestures, with lyrics by Azguime. Here the instruments – which may be his voice, percussion, a table, a pen or paper – are used as an extension of his body and a projection of the sound of words. Azguime’s voice combine with an electro-acoustic sound transformation and multi channel diffusion system which acts as a counterpoint to the poetry. It is a combination of music and drama, where the re-creation of a poem in a technological environment takes us through the different senses and sounds of the texts. The computerized manipulation of the sounds made by the performer broadens the number of possible interpretations.
