as far as "dada music" is concerned, i heard a field recording of "kurt schwitters" reading (in german i believe) a cut and pasted composition that directly referenced his collage-type art composition.
it has actually been a while since i heard it,
so the details are a bit fuzzy,
but it really made me think of dada as something more than what the art history books say,
and as far as the music/the auditory experience goes,
i believe is is stimulating to have a complete piece of music or experience made up of pieces from diffferent places and different subjects,
i really think that nowadays there is so much shit surrounding us that it is almost expected at this point for a piece of music that tries to reflect the feelings of our "modern day" to be made up from advertising and media.
i think the recording artist closest to use such ideas, is bomb-20,
(his cut and pastes comps are made more up of movie samples and gangsta shit but the means by which he composed it is true to dada technique.....sorta)
his comps make some sense and communicate a cohesive idea, in dada i think the end result isn't very important and doesn't need to make any sense, its more about the means and places you choose the source material to make the piece, nonetheless it reflects a bombardment of collective pieces.
dada is good, have fun
