These are the first lines of the Kurt Schwitters Ursonate, or sonata in primal sounds.
This forty-minute phonetic poem is one of the legends of Dadaism, an artistic movement that arose in Zurich during the First World War and thereafter spread rapidly, especially in Germany and France.
Performed by Ryan Kerr with assistance from Justin Million and Jessica Lynn Scott, this will be a 40-minute aural experience.
