This is an essential compilation of historic poetic and music
works, almost all of them from the first half of the 20th century,
largely by Futurist and Dadaist artists that, taken altogether,
represents a huge aspect of our cultural history. Some of the work
points towards later developments, aesthetic and technological, of
electronic music.
Among the most important works included are the Futurist Luigi Russolo's 'Risveglio di una Citta' (1913), in which the composer uses noisemaking instruments to imagine the early morning sounds of urban life; Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's dramatic spoken text composition, 'La Battaglia di Andrianpoli' (1924), which invokes battle sounds; and Kurt Schwitters' famous sound poem, 'Die Sonata in Urlauten' (1932). Also included are Antonio Russolo's Corale' (1921) and 'Serenata' (1921), Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's 'Sintesi Musicali Futuristiche' (1931) and 'Definizione di Futurismo' (1924), Luigi Grandi's 'Cavalli + Acciaio' (1935), Wyndham Lewis' 'end of Enemy Interlude' (1940), Guillaume Apollinaire's 'Le Pont Mirabeau' (1912), Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco, and Richard Huelsenbeck's 'L'amiral cherche une Maison a Louer', Marcel Duchamp's 'La Mariee mise a nu par ses Celibataires, meme', Richard Heulsenbeck's 'Inventing Dada' (1959), Tristan Tzara's 'Dada Into Surrealism' (1959), Jean Cocteau's 'Le Voleurs d'Enfants' (1929), and 'Tone Poem'.
