Haikus and surprises

Reading Novels in Three Lines makes me think of the haiku form of poems. I find it interesting that Feneon's pieces have not been presented in a three-line format (is that the translation? where did the "three" lines come from?), and the haiku, strictly speaking, isn't really in three lines in the traditional Japanese. But a haiku should contain some reference to the seasons, as well as some sort of juxtaposition in thought or concept. Feneon's Lines don't always contain a reference to spring or summer, but I think he captures the change in tone and thought very well.




I found this audio clip on the ubu.com website. I wanted to know what kind of sound clip would exist from someone who is famous for 4'33" of "silence." The leaves and mushrooms were compiled by moi.

This website is full of surprises. Who is the last person you would associate with the avant-garde. I mean, someone so stereotypical in their wholesomeness that you would never, ever think of them in terms of any sort of experimental, avant-garde-type project?


You should check out her performance...completely unexpected.

And I will admit here, as long as NO ONE makes fun of me, that I did own this very album when I was little. Shhh!
