2 short movements based Dada Manifesto by Hugo Ball from 1916.
The manifesto, the text, on an A4-page, is cut into one long strip to fit a music box and then spliced with tape.
Two versions are made: the first copy of the manifesto is cut horizontally into a strip of paper, and the second copy is cut vertically, so the manifesto is basically scanned from top to bottom (Track: Dada Manifesto Vertically) and from left to right (Track: Dada Manifesto Horizontally). The letters D and A in the text are then punctuated, so the absence of D and A (..DADA), is what you hear being played.

The Dada Manifesto encourages poets to stop writing with words, but rather write the word itself, and Ball states that:
„I shall be reading poems that are meant to dispense with conventional language, no less, and to have done with it“
In this way Dada Manifesto Vertically/Dada Manifesto Horizontally acts in accordance with Ball’s manifesto, using the word construct as the direct source.

„Bafis“ is Latin for „To be held for along time.“

Das Projekt ScoreFollower erstellt Videos mit Neue-Musik-Aufnahmen & Partituren synchron (siehe auch der Bericht im BadBlog darüber). Ich habe vor ein paar Monaten angeregt, auch mal die grafischen, eigentlich nicht ‚wörtlich‘ spielbaren Partituren von Bil Smith (früher auf Kulturtechno) in die Sammlung aufzunehmen. Das ist mittlerweile erfolgt.
