		For her part, Pierson’s main intent seems to be a celebration of his voice and words, both through acoustic parts that mimic his vocal patterns and electronic interludes that slice up and reassemble a recording of his voice to distill its timbral characteristics and emphasize certain important points.
		Perhaps the most striking moment is when Torres chants a series of alliterated words that emulate the hiss of the electronics that surround it.

	Diasporic Avant-Gardes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Conference sessions will center on the crucial alliances that have been forged among African-American poets, Language poets, and French post-Objectivist poets; Caribbean poets, French surrealists, and visual poets; and, finally, minority performance poets and French sound poets working within the tradition of Futurist and Dadaist experiment.
		Each of these poet/performers extends the aesthetic practices of the historical avant-garde for the purpose of exposing and undermining a colonizing politics of representation.
		Conference papers should demonstrate how poets such as these draw from and add to the evolving history of socially engaged, formally innovative poetry, and how their work furthers the possibilities of a cultural poetics of diasporic experiment.
