CerebralMix 2015-8-09: Poetry Series Ep 1 is the beginning of a new series: an experiment in weaving the narrative into the body of the show unlike before: a new concept in terms of how the show is put together.
Up until now all of the readings have been kept to the “break” portions of the show, typically at the top of each hour. With this episode I break that concept. Yes, there are still readings at the top of each hour, however there are now two readings mixed in with the rest of the music. These are not breaks from the music, they are right alongside the music.
I hope this makes for a more interesting dynamic. It’s not about the readings just being the frame for the show any more. It’s about the text of the poems being integrated directly into the show itself.
The initial Poetry Series is going to be twenty episodes long. At that point I will make a decision as to start another poetry series (I seriously could do this until I decide not to do the show any more), or if I want to take a break and do something else. I think that is going to depend on the feedback I get from this series. If people like the concept enough we can stick with it, maybe tweak it a bit (like focusing on specific poets, or specific themes for each show), or I can head out and find something different to work with.
It may just really come down to me finding something or interesting to play, or something that allows me to try something different with the show. That’s the beauty of this show: it’s constantly evolving as I have new and different ideas.
Readings
All of the reading for this show (and the whole Poetry Series) is being taken from readings released by LibriVox. All of these readings are in the public domain, and can be found on the first ten volumes of their Short Poetry series of releases.
