Well, I mean you can actually name composers who were involved with the Fluxus
movement (LaMonte Young for example) which you can't really do with Dada.
I did once come across a mention of a Swiss composer named Hans Heuser who was
involved with the Dadaists in Zurich, but I haven't been able to find any more info
about him and I have a feeling he probably wasn't very special considering his
obscurity.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying.
I did say in my post that they have a very superficial (distant) connection to the
Futurist sound aesthetic at best.

I think as far as the interest in sound processing and the use of "found" sounds
they're definitely part of that continuum. Sure their tracks don't have that
narrative sort of quality that "academic" concrete pieces tend to have and they don't
use the same kinds of compositional structures as the academics, but as far as "sound
research" they're treading pretty much the same ground.

Maybe you should expand on this.
