Three major artists of the European Dadaist avant-garde read from their own texts. German-French sculptor, painter and poet Hans Arp, who was very close to Tristan Tzara when he created Dada in Zürich (from a very rare recording), photomontagist and co-founder of the Berlin Dada movement, Raoul Hausmann (some rare pieces from 1918 to 1957 -- recorded by Henri Chopin) and the great Kurt Schwitters, twentieth century's greatest master of collage who reads his only two recorded merzpoems, "Anna Blume" and "Ursonate" (both recorded in 1932). Including photos, texts and historical introduction (translated in German, French and English). Alongside the seminal Sub Rosa Luna Park CD (a collection of avant-garde voices 1913-1974) Dada Antidada Merz represents more definitive documentation of early Dada/avant-garde output (edited by Marc Dachy once again) -- significant aural documents, previously impossible to access.
