Hi Paul,
it might depend on who, didn't expect to get away with that, did the
programming and to what intent. But then maybe you wouldn't find the music
that he (this machine) riffs from (early John Zorn, George Cartwright, Ikue
Mori, LaDonna Smith, et al or else dance musics from Puerto Rico and you
might consider 'manic typo motherfucker' to be a phrase on timbales and
sense how that moves through his lines) to be music either. Try this from a
different era:
'rent
gaited
fair as in line card
to swoon value slope
stitches drudge into facotrs
wind
a small
to deter clear detrain
agreeing
to scatter record in fish
an adherent right poem
blow
rapping phlox as in alphabet pinks
panding
to stem openwork cyanide
women with reflexed apex
leads or tends
concurrence gases
chat cone'
(Clark Coolidge from 'The Maintains', This Press 1974)
Does this not exhibit a feeling for words?
or back up a little:
'Can dogs
argue
injustices
Dogs in a vise,
and a wood saw
can saw an anatomy
of dog
Such as you never saw.'
(Louis Zukovsky from 'The Immediate Aim' in 'ALL the collected shorter
poems 1923-1958, Cape 1966) or earlier:
A Box
'Out of kindness comes redness and out of rudeness comes rapid same
question, out of an eye comes research, out of selection comes painful
cattle. So then the order is that a white way of being round is something
suggesting a pin and it is disappointing, it is not, it is so rudimentary
to be analysed and see a fine substance strangely, it is so earnest to have
a green point not to red but to point again.'
(Gertrude Stein from 'Tender Buttons' publihed in 1914)
and so on. Do these examples not exhibit a feeling for words? Start
splitting hairs now.
love and love
