The Dokaka has been haunting me since New York, partly because I am wondering simply at how the human body, the voice, can create that range of sounds, but also wondering if you might talk a little as to Dokaka's choice of song, which you briefly touched on in the panel. Why Slayer? I have my thoughts on this, but perhaps you know more about his choice? Also, the Osmond, which I've seen her perform on YouTube, is certainly one of the odder videos tracing around that site. How did she come to it? And why has this piece become canonical, as you say, for sound poets? Is it the vehicle, the context, the conjunction of the two? At any rate, a fine selection.
