Jaap Blonk

Jaap Blonk (born 1953 in Woerden, Holland) is a self-taught composer, voice performer and sound poet. His unfinished studies in physics, mathematics and musicology mainly created a penchant for activities in a Dada vein, as did several unsuccessful jobs in offices and other well-organized systems. In the late 1970s he took up saxophone and started to compose music, and a few years later a real breakthrough occurred: he discovered the power and flexibility of his voice.

Matt Dalby

Matt Dalby is a poet and writer based in Manchester, UK since 2002. In 2008 he started to turn away from the more usual spoken-word style of poetry performance in favour of sound poetry. His technique normally involves looping his voice, either to build up many layers of sound and a lot of volume, or to establish a rhythm over which other vocal sounds can happen. In January 2009 Matt Dalby announced his intention to release one CD-R of sound poetry every month for the whole year.
