Dada Johann Fuchsgang Goethe. I don't want words that other people have invented. The post goes on to quote the liner notes from Lipstick Traces: As host of a special (Ripley’s Believe It or Not) show on sound poetry, Osmond was asked by the producer to recite only the first line of Ball’s work; incensed at being thought too dumb for art, she memorized the lot and delivered it whole in a rare “glimpse of freedom.”.

Just a word, and the word a movement. For the poem to get online, it went through a few changes. Very easy to understand. In French it means "hobby horse". and yourselves, honoured poets, who are always writing with words but never writing the word itself. Dada Tzara, dada Huelsenbeck, dada m'dada, dada m'dada dada mhm, dada dera dada, dada Hue, dada Tza. In Romanian: "Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it. The first “official” Dada Manifesto, published on July 14, 1916 by Hugo Ball. I want the word where it ends and begins. I want my own stuff, my own rhythm, and vowels and consonants too, matching the rhythm and all my own. It’s a translation of a Dadaist poem into binary code by Lucas Battich, who writes: ‘Karawane’ is a poem written and performed by Hugo Ball in 1916, and it consists of meaningless words and sounds. Can you translate nonsense? By saying dada. }

In German it means "good-bye", "Get off my back", "Be seeing you sometime". If this pulsation is seven yards long, I want words for it that are seven yards long. Dada is the world's best lily-milk soap. It's a question of connections, and of loosening them up a bit to start with. By saying dada. Ball was one of the founders of Dada, and the poem was first read in the newly opened Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. } All the words are other people's inventions. The word, the word, the word outside your domain, your stuffiness, this laughable impotence, your stupendous smugness, outside all the parrotry of your self-evident limitedness. Six of the segments hosted by Osmond have been uploaded to YouTube, including another one about a poet, Renée Vivien. And now for something completely different: Bob Marsh chants the 1916 Dada sound poem by Hugo Ball in a marvellous video interpretation by drummer and videographer Grant Strombeck. Ball's sound poems such as Karawane (1916) and Katzen and Pfauen (1916) exemplified Dada's ironic, nonsensical, and playful yet deadly serious critique of Western culture. Why can't a tree be called Pluplusch, and Pluplubasch when it has been raining. ‘Karawane’ was performed and written by Hugo Ball, and was also performed in 1916 at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich as the video says.

The 1980s series reran on the Sci-fi Channel (UK) and Sci-fi Channel (US) during the 1990s. Finally, it’s worth pointing out that this is not quite the strangest video of “Karawane” on the web.

An International word.
