HUB RENGA

In 1989 we organized a collaborative piece, “HUB RENGA”, involving The Hub, writer Ramon Sender Barayon, The Well (an electronic conferencing system), KPFA radio in Berkely and New Langton Arts in San Francisco. “Renga” is a traditional Japanese poetic form, in which different poets contributes lines, continuing from the previous poets’ work. In this piece, the Hub composers programmed their systems to respond to certain pre-defined “power words” in a text stream coming from participating writers in the poetry conference of the Well. In a live performance on KPFA, the Well poets could, from their homes, type in their poetic line and hear it immediately read aloud over the air, while it simultaneously and automatically influenced the evolution of the Hub’s music. It’s hard to describe the peculiar quality of communicating feeling that arose in this project: there was something authentically new about people being able to interact socially, while at the same time doing the traditionally more private work of writing and composing music. This selection is an excerpt from the ninety minute live radio event. –TP
