what is what
what is what is a visual poem in english, portuguese, french and spanish, printed as a three meter long leporello book
it is based on homophonies between these languages, dictated by the sound of each word
it starts by the word what and finishes by the word pain: in between, a metaphysical monologue where language fragmentation is the main purpose.
text composed in 2008, sound composed and recorded in 2024 at mont efímer, barcelona
first release by mont efímer as a print and mp3 in 2024

ámame
ámame is a visual / sound poem in spanish about love in some of its forms, but always from a failure perspective
it follows a progression of all the vowels of the spanish alphabet with verbs describing orders beyond emotional states
its shape is organic and resembles that of an intestine
text composed in 2010, sound composed, recorded and mixed in 2015 and 2024 at mont efímer, barcelona
amas de loques
amas de loques is a visual / sound poem in french starting by the words “ une main ”, “ a hand ” which refers to the part of the body that performs the most actions
the poem unfolds precisely with that hand undertaking actions that become political and lead to a disturbing final state
its shape is circular, with circles within circles, thus forming a maze in which one can get lost
text composed in 2015, sound composed, recorded and mixed in 2024 at mont efímer, barcelona
