On the first listen, Giorno's layered sound poems are likely the most impactful they will ever be. The repetition is mesmerizing, and as the sound poem goes on, small beauties begin to stand out. The subtle changes of intonation between each individually recorded layer of audio create harmonic dissonance: it doesn't sound like a perfect echo chamber, and that adds to its ethereal quality. The mood of each section is made clear through the passion in John Giorno's voice, and how messy the jumble of noise becomes. At times where it is clear that Giorno is frustrated and upset, it becomes almost impossible to decipher what he is saying, or rather ranting and screaming about, each layer of audio clashing with the others and forming a fumbling mess of anger. During these sections Giorno might also mix in completely different lines, making it that much more difficult to understand what he is saying, and that much more realistic of passionate anger. On the contrary, there are times where Giorno lowers his voice, and the layered audio softly syncs up. The transition between these two states throughout each recording are what make Giorno's layered sound poetry unique and alluring. They push the boundaries of poetry, adding in passion and intonation that are much more difficult to convey in a textual format.
