Well, he was composing along those lines since the 1880's, so that
precedes Surrealism by about 30 years. He only formally studied music so
that he could be considered "valid" in his experimental music, which he
got recognition for by 1914 or so, which is when cubism was just beginning
and futurism was in full swing. Picasso was way-young then...and Musique
Brute was the cutting edge. Right at this time, there were experimental
cabarets doing the stuff that Genesis P'Orridge's clan (Cum Transmissions
or whatever it was called) did as performance art in the 70's; nothing
new.
