Martín Bakero

Martín Bakero - thera-poet, musician. In his poetry actions, he drives a trance where the breath becomes alive. He breaks the boundaries between sound, sense, senses, non-sense, smell, vision, action, hallucination, gesture: always seeking the opening of the limits of poetry, electronics and new realities. He spatializes the voices in multi-phony, modified in live by acousmantic filters, and has presented performances, lectures, films, expositions, installations and radio actions in many locations throughout Europe; North, Central and South-America. He has experimented with combinatorial, permutation, genetic, astrobiology, quantum mechanics, sound, vision and psychics arts. He studied electro-acoustic composition at the Paris municipal music conservatory and he has a PHD in psychopathology. He teaches in the Universities of Paris, México and Chile. He works rehearsing about severe personality disorders and sound poetry. He created the pneumatic and electropneumatic poetry and now he is developing what he calls “Acousemantic” poetry. He made creative sound residences and performances in Avatar (Québec), National center for arts (México) and Proposta (Barcelona). He is member of several artistic collectives: LaBoRaToiRe, Motor Nightingale, Buzos Tácticos, Casagrande, M’Other, Futures Primitives, Synchronizer, Frères Singuliers and pnEUmAtIkOs, where he works with other artistes, scientists, and mystics. Those projects are some work in progress about the links between poetry, sound, vision and reality. He created the festival Festina Lente and the Laboratory of electropneumatic poetry (Laboratoire d’electropoésie acousmantique) in Paris.
