Quite a collection of voices assembled here, Juan Angel. I notice you have blended a bit of Futurismo into your Dada presentation. I would love to read your opinions/observations/thoughts about how philosophies and artistic techniques set these two movements apart from one another.

Hello Goff!

In the first Dada magazines it was common to find works by Futurist authors.
In the first Futurist publications it was common to find works by Dadaist authors.
In avant-garde Latin American magazines (of Marxist ideology) they published works by Futurist authors.
During the first years of the avant-garde, they coexisted harmonically and exchanged a lot of material.
Cubism, Dadaism, Ultraism, Futurism (Italian or Soviet) etc, etc., coexist and only differentiated by aesthetic positions.
There was a lot of back and forth exchange.
You have to see these movements as a whole, and not separately.

Many thanks Juan Angel. I very much agree that the Futurists and Dadaists shared much in their artistic approaches and methods, but, respectfully, my own observations of their work will not allow me to view both movements as a united "whole."

The Futurists, whose movement predated the Dadaists, seemed interested in breaking down the norms of the 19th Century to create a fast, efficient, and "new" society for the 20th Century. Much of what gave birth to Dadaism was a reaction against World War -- and instead of seeking to build a new society, Dada parodies and absurdities seem more aimed at simply ridiculing the horrors that their times forced upon them.

It is nice to have this little discussion with you today. I fear, as those who hold power become ever more able to manipulate humanity, that one day movements like these will be intentionally wiped from collective consciousness. Carry on with your own fine work!

Hello Goff!
Very true, every movement has its peculiarities. Even Italian Futurism differed from Soviet Futurism.
I point out that at the beginning there was a good relationship between them, something rare in the art world.
What ends up separating them will be political approaches and not aesthetics.
These topics are very exciting! And there is still a lot to study.
Dada and Futurism were the big losers, (an anti-capitalist and anti-bourgeois, the other with its great references associated with fascism) they were for a long time "forgotten", then came Surrealism with all its glamor to put things back in place.
In the world of ART there is no place for those who kick the board!
Fraternal greetings from the South!

(Sorry for my English sudaca !!!)

That was fantastic. So much to listen to. It would be amazing to hear the sound system in England called The Beast play this. Wow!!

... hey - those 10 minutes are very entertaining .. keeps the suspense till the end .. not overloaded which often destroys similar works... a clearly defined route keeps the plot *uncluttered*...

... a movie for my ears .. this is what I like!

Juan Angel, This is a really great piece. The mix of the original recordings with your renditions of other works from the era is wonderful. Everything is now with all the stars are on 45.
