Christopher Mayo, composer
Performed by Alarm Will Sound
Live at the Mizzou International Composers Festival, July 29, 2017
Notes by the composer:
"Beast (for Hugo Ball)" is a setting of a sound poem of the same name by Canadian poet bpNichol (1944-1988) which was originally released on cassette in 1971. The poem is a tribute to German poet Hugo Ball (1886-1927), author of the Dada Manifesto, co-founder of the Cabaret Voltaire and, as bpNichol so eloquently puts it, “more or less the daddy of sound poetry”.
