the only composer that i know of that was associated with the original
movement was Satie. i don't think he was an official member, but was in
Paris at the time and often worked in conjunction with some of the
artists, namely Cocteau. the futurists in Italy were slightly more
musically inclined, and i've heard a cd that has some of their music as
well as a recording of Appolinaire reading his "le pont Mirabeau" on it.

many modern musical groups tout themselves as being "surrealist" but i
have heard few that live up that self-proclaimation. usually when i hear
of a band calling themselves surrealist i stay away in droves.

They Might Be Giants have a surrealistic effect, if not intent.

Yma Sumac, though she was more of an expressionist.

Satie was not a surrealist in any way, shape or form. If he is
associated with any movement in would be the late impressionists, with
whom he used to hang out in Paris bars and cafes getting rat-arsed. He
doesn't even match historically, being around a while prior to the
Dada/surrealists of the earliest period.

Still love his music though. And some of it does -sound- surreal.

Hello,

I don't know if some people who call themselves surrealists (and rightly
so) are now making such music or if there have been experiences in the
past, but I do know that there has been so surrealist music when Andre
Breton was around. He and many others hated music!!!

there is one Schwitters piece on that cd that i mentioned in my earlier
post that i had forgotton about. thanks for reminding me. i think it
dates more from the dada period in that it is essentially nonsensical,
just a bunch of random phonemes based on a 'primitive' musical theme.

it is not difficult to make music based on the principals of dada, in fact
many have said that punk arrose out of dada's ashes. see Griel Marcus's
'Lipstick Traces' for a very convincing and highly entertaining argument
that traces the roots of punk back to dada and the situationalist
movement.

i'd agree with you on the Thinking Fellers, but i've never heard Shlong,
so i won't comment. the only influence that i can see of surrealism in
music today is the use of the dream state for creative inspiration. i
would say that the best example of this is in the work of the Legendary
Pink Dots. in theme, lyrics and music they hold closest to the tennants
of surrealism than any band i can think of. another good example could be
made of Laurie Anderson. most of the 'noize' bands i would trace to dada
more than to surrealism. not to mention the use of sampling in music
being a direct spin-off os the age-old collage technique that the dadaist
and surrealist were so fond of.

There is a story about a meeting between Kurt Schwitters and Adolf Hitler.

Mr. Hitler and Mr. Henry Ford were having tea and peppermint schnapps in a
Bavarian pub discussing Mr. Ford's suggested improvements for the stuka
dive bomber production line. Mr. Schwitters just happened to be in the pub
planning a bank robbery with Al Capone. The year was about 1932 and Mr.
Schwitters was by then a well known German artist. One of Hitler's entourage
whispered into Adolf's tanned ear that a influential German artist was present in
the room. When Hitler heard Schwitters' name he was pleased. Hitler himself
was a landscape artist still developing his later famous and much copied
technique. Hitler was unaware that Schwitters had moved beyond his early
beginnings in landscape. He asked to meet Schwitters. By the time Schwitters was
brought to him a more hip member of Adolf's party told him that Schwitters was
also a poet. Hitler requested that Schwitters recite some heroic German
poetry.

Schwitters was more than happy to comply. He began clearing his throat and
uttering deep guttural sounds. If one listened closely patterns could arguably be
heard. Suddenly Schwitters jumped on a chair and began clucking like a duck and
waiving his arms.

Hitler knocked over his schnapps. Then, sweating from the back of the neck and
turning pink from forehead to Adam's' apple, Adolf suddenly threw up into Henry
Ford's lap.

Soon after that Mr. Schwitters left Germany and headed for France.

In 1938 the Nazi's honored Schwitters by highlighting his work in their
famous showing "The Best of the Degenerates". Following that showing
Schwitters, who had become something of a clairvoyant through his contacts with
the Surrealists, decided it was time to get out of France.

Some years latter the meeting between Schwitters and Hitler was
documented in a short Walt Disney film titled: "De fur her".

So Spike Jones and Kurt Scwittters were one and the same?

I know Brittania waives the rules and Douglas Bader waived the use of
one leg, but to waive your arms, did he just waive them temporalily, or
permanently, and what happened to his hands and fingers? did he end up
like the guy in "Freaks?"

Permanently. There were razor blades in the air. Shot from mechanical flutes. He
tried to surrender his weapon but the tendons had been severed. Cry Cry. A small
child inherited the arms that fell from the sockets. Another hungry waif among
many finding objects in the gutter.

Fearing a return of the ground shakers the child took the find and disappeared
into a hole in the ground to sleep among the bottles and bears. A woman
with scars on the forehead and cheek began to weep and prepare a
cooking pot.

A young lieutenant stumbled into the cellar. He said "I'm hungry too, the
bubblegum glued my shoe to the accelerator."

I'd go along with this... I had always made this Legendary Pink Dots
comparison after I became more familiar with surrealism. (I don't know a lot
about Laurie Anderson...)

Here I would compare the "noise" bands (Einsturzende Neubauten, SPK, et al.)
to the Futurists of Italy. The Futurists (notably Luigi Russolo) had some
pretty well-developed ideas about music. Russolo published a manifesto called
"The Art of Noise" which I'm sure is where the band takes its name from
(although I certainly wouldn't describe them as noisy, but perhaps more in the
spirit of Dadaism... same goes for Yello). The Futurists were more involved
in music than the Dadaists or Surrealists (in fact I've never uncovered any
reference to any composers/musicians directly or even indirectly affiliated
with the original Surrealist movement).

Russolo constructed a number of devices which were aptly named
"noise-intoners" and his compositions reflected the Futurist themes of
machinery, motion, and speed. Russolo's ideas were pretty far-reaching, as he
proposed that any sound could and should be incorporated into the musical
vocabulary.

As for the Futurists in general: a highly interesting bunch, though one has
to wonder about some of the Futurist ideas, such as war being the grand
expression of the mechanical age, or that war is the world's only hygiene.
(the dark side of my sense of humor got the best of me when I heard that one--
I guffawed out loud in class; the professor did not share my amusement).
Unfortunately there are also a few ties between Futurism and Italian Fascism,
although Futurism itself seems to more closely represent (violent) anarchism,
at least on paper. Nevertheless I will not deny that the Futurists advanced a
lot of interesting ideas.

Closely related to Futurism is Constructivism, aka Russian Futurism. This
movement was also fascinated by machines and energy. However the
Construcivists had, for a time, a more symbiotic relationship with the State.
A good (albeit non-musical) example of the form is the film _Man with the
Movie Camera_ directed by Dziga Vertov. Also this sort of imagery turned up
on the album cover of _The Man-Machine_ by Kraftwerk which is directly
patterned after Constructivist design techniques.

See _Futurism_ by Caroline Tisdall & Angelo
Bozzolla for more info. (I may regret saying this, but Boyd Rice sort of
seems like a midpoint between Futurism and Dadaism, if you're familiar with
him).

Oh! Of course, you must be the mighty prophet of all that is surreal.

After all, you spend your spare time on IRC going on about Wrestling
which is, as we know, the USA's supreme contribution to surrealist
drama.

Ireland produced Beckett, France produced Genet, Hungary
produced Ionesco and the USA collectively came up with WWF.

Obviously, your deep insight into the human condition of men with
inferiority complexes and masks trying to tear at each others genitals
in a boxing wring must make you Breton's spiritual heir and the arbiter
of all things surreal.

I'm sorry we have so insulted you by not discussing the last bout
between mighty lemon cup cake and the great corn dog in terms of the
revolutionary consciousness shift you got when the great corn dog's
codpeice came off and there wasn't a gigantic snack on a stick where his
wedding tackle should have been.

You must be more surreal than us. You appreciate WWF, we like art,
poetry and music. Some of us see these as an engine for revolutionary
change in the individual and society. You like watching costumed men
cuddling and rolling around a canvas for an hour or so.

Again my apologies for wasting your time, if we had not have been here, you
could have spent some minutes cataloguing your hard video cassettes

I rest my case. Any brainless monkey can create art, most poetry is

exist anymore. At least in wrestling, we get to watch people get
maimed, crippled, and devistated!

I've always admired how your wrestlers manage to carry off so many
elegantly choreographed moves and still keep the crowd thinking that it's
all a real fight. You're showing your type 5-ness again - bowler hats

You pompous, queen-humping, dumbass! :)
