Summary/Abstract: The article discusses phonographies as two kinds of sound recording: through recordingsand literary inscritpion. The author focuses on the percussiveness associated withbeatboxing, an imitation practiced by traumatized earwitnesses who recreate theircritical bodily experiences by performing modern military sounds. The earwitnessesachieve the percussive effect through onomatopoeia used in oral performances or letternotation. The research material for comparative analysis includes the exhibition Repeatafter me II (2024), presenting the experiences of Ukrainian war refugees, the documentaryfilm Gaza Sound Man (2024) about the situation of Palestinians during Israeli attacks,along with Miron Białoszewski’s A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising and selected war poems.
