-We read what we know: exploring how writing can be translated radically by sound

-Audiomorphosis : how sound can change what is written

-we read what we know: oral translations from what’s familiar to us: an observation.

How does what we know affect how we read?

We usually assume that whatever we write can be read- especially by someone who speaks our own language. But what if we write in sound rather than in words? We could call them onomatopoeia’s if we so desire, yet the biggest difference would rest upon the fact that onomatopoeia’s are commonly understood, and therefore easily said out loud.

When a person reads someone else’s score, or letters sewn together with the thread of sound, the outcomes can be quite surprising.

I want to explore the phenomenal event of our group reading each other’s poems, and how what we wrote became morphed, and in some cases became obstructive to our natural way of breathing. Literally.

How does our upbringing, or what we know, change the way we read letters meeting? Does accent play a role? Do the people around us affect how we translate the visual to auditory?

And (with permission) I want to use our group as reference.
