1. Velimir Khlebnikov: Lautgedichte. Texte
ZAUM phonetic transcriptions (1908-13). Poetry is phonetic-apparition, language as such song. Vowels are alphabet's resounding strings, consonants the sonic strength of spirit. Khlebnikov fostered the magic-scientific meta-language ZAUM and therefore the game with phonems and rootwords of the Slavic language. Translation, be it lingual or musical, must do justice to such word constructions.

2. Hugo Ball: Klanggedichte (1916)
Poems of the Dada-founder on the stage of Zurich´s "Cabaret Voltaire". Bizarre cubistic costumes and "bruitistic" instrumentally lift this genre to the level of total Art work. Verse without words, in wich the vowel balance is weighed solely according to the value of the formantrow.
