Sonata In Primeval Sounds by Kurt Schwitters
@ Paper City Studios’ “Pulp Science Fiction,” Sat. May 9th, 8PM
Dada artist Kurt Schwitters' classic Sonata In Primeval Sounds, is performed by Ursonate Urchestra plus Lead Parachute, as part of Paper City Studios’ Pulp Science Fiction open studios event, on Saturday, May 9th at 8pm, Paper City Studios, 80 Race Street, 3rd Floor, in Holyoke, MA.
Published in 1932, Kurt Schwitters' Sonata In Primeval Sounds--also called Ursonate--is the granddaddy of sound-art poems: a 45-minute nonsense opus that develops 26 abstract themes in sonata form. Ursonate Urchestra co-founder Andy Laties’ rousing participatory interpretations were honored in Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art's "Chicago Artists 1945-1995" retrospective. His partners in Ursonate Urchestra are vocalist Rebecca Migdal and percussionist Eric Blitz; they are joined tonight by experimental sound ensemble Lead Parachute, featuring John Landino on trombone, Glove on guitar and tape measure, and Denis Luzuriaga on synthesizers.
