Here are the words. This was recorded in one take with no rehearsal.

Translation into Romanian

gingatao — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:23:04 +0000

Here is Ana reading the poem of mine ‘different senses, different shoes’ which she has translated into Romanian. You can read the poem (original and translation here)

I have been enjoying myself at Pool, a project coordinated by the ABC which is Australia’s national broadcaster. I thought I would podcast these two poems as they are requesting pieces about rivers and birds.

Where was I?

gingatao — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:44:57 +0000

The original intention of the internet was to have a place to do whatever I want, assuming it was an ever expanding space. Still not sure if that is a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ idea. I know it synchs up with pretty well with taoism though.

Australian Sentences #who’s counting

gingatao — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:12:20 +0000

Podcasting is easy really. I don’t why I make such a fuss about it. And this is the year of going live so I did the whole of Australian Sentences #who’s counting with all the poems it links too. So hopefully this forms a little narrative.

Here are the words.

While I was away

gingatao — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:42:34 +0000

I practised my podcasting to little effect. It is still atrocious and I apologise profusely. I was sober though, I am trying to pretend to be a bit drunk, as a character. I hope that doesn’t upset anybody. There is no swearing and I was fully clothed.

Where is everybody?

gingatao — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:39:12 +0000

I have podcast naked and standing up, sorry. Video on demand. (1:13)

Con-temporary Poetry

gingatao — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:37:23 +0000

Alright, it seems to work better when I am sober, like most things. This one is a bit fast, and the voices are a bit funny but the poem was supposed to be a bit of a parody or something.

Standstill

gingatao — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:12:04 +0000

I almost came to a standstill, Ma’am. I tried to go so slowly. And use two distinct voices. Thankyou for listening. Here are the words.

Context

gingatao — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:48:07 +0000

Embarassment, I think is a healthy thing. Otherwise would I be doing this?

You might want to turn it down a little bit. Or a lot.

Here is the script back at the word blog.

The Puzzle Box (1)

gingatao — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 05:14:09 +0000

Yes, yes, I know slow down, you all say. But the writing is connected directly to breath. The mental breaths aren’t the same as normal breathing. The sentences are lond and complex for a reason. I can write short and sharp too, but these long convoluted sentences are a key element in creating the illusion of a machine. So the performance will slow down and the scenes become clearer and slower, I promise.

Still having more fun with the machine. Little bit of a rant in the middle between poems, sorry. And as usual very low production values due entirely to lack of time. And button pushing skills.

Talking To The Ghosts.

gingatao — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:00:54 +0000

Sorry. I am way behind as usual. Aus Lit seems intent on ignoring me. I’m not ignoring them though haha. Insert link to “Three Legged Dog” in Bolts Of Silk. Umm, what was I doing, oh that’s right. I must get to speed poets one Sunday sober and prepared. And Graham liked this one in the blog. So here is a crack at it.

This is the second time I have recorded this one. The first one is locked away in the computer forever. There will be one a year or something. One of the most difficult things in the world is to announce your religeous beliefs. It reveals who you are more than anything else. I don’t believe anyone who completely denies all spiritual existence. I think they are lying to themselves, they wish there was none. I don’t know why.

gingatao, a bow, submission

gingatao — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 08:47:39 +0000

Alright. I admit it. I just love this machine, that is why I do it. It’s like a fantasy for someone who was trapped in his writerly fantasies for twenty years, and you keep telling me such nice things, what do you expect me to do, shout Man Overboard!
