Sound poetry dates back at least to the experiments of the Dada poets such as Kurt Schwitters and Hugo Ball. In Canada, it has been strong since the 1960s, when bp Nichol and bill bissett began exploring and reinventing its traditions. In the 1990s, a new generation of sound poets has revitalized the Canadian tradition and on this CD their voices sound alongside many of the best-known earlier practitioners. Carnivocal presents a range of contemporary solo performers such as Christian B=F6k, Penn Kemp and Steven Ross Smith; various ensembles, from a classic recording by The Horsemen and Owen Sound to the exciting new sounds of Verbomotorhead.
