We find out what is a sonic poem from one of the creators and the creative producer of Toccata Studio that runs artists residency programs. While each word in ‘sonic poem’ has clear denotative meanings, when yoked together they offer something else. The artist tells what prompts such a project and what he and his collaborator, Kok Siew-Wai, were exploring.
