AVzounds is a new music project combining poetry with lo-fi hip-hop and electronic beats.
Manifesto, AVzounds’ first piece, set parts of The Communist Manifesto to music and got a 4 out of 4 review in the Morning Star. It is available free on Soundcloud.
Our new release is Speak! By American poet Hans Ostrom who reads works by radical writers like Brecht, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Nazim Hikmet, and Lola Ridge, as well as his own poetry and is downloadable from our website. Our next project is with Swedish poet Louise Halvardssen who gives her unique insight into life in the UK.
We want to connect with other poets/spoken word performers and musicians and bring them together for new projects wherever they are. Those who get involved with the projects share their work through social media networks which gives everyone complete control over how and where their projects are promoted.
