In July, 2019, Simulacrum Press was proud to publish knewro suite by Ottawa based poet nina jane drystek. knewro suite, as a print publication is comprised of three stark and striking concrete poems which serve as scores for sound poems. At the time of publication there was no extant recording of the sound poems–the scores could be viewed, the articulation of them imagined. Long awaited, drystek has released a recording of the suite (with an added sound poem, wennow) on bandcamp as performed by Conyer Clayton, jw curry, Chris Johnson and, of course, drystek herself.
The delay in the performance and recording of knewro suite was not due to a lack of effort—on the contrary—it was a dedication to a successful performance of the pieces which are, according to jw curry and Chris Johnson, remarkably difficult. Open your earmind and let your ear drum, because knewro suite does not disappoint.
