«I LOVE ALL MUSIC. CLASSICAL, COUNTRY, OPERA, EVERYTHING»

Traditionally it is no secret that visual art and sonic art have fused to inspire and create cultural art movements. A few examples are John Cage's influence of chance and electronic music in the Fluxus movement, the experimental rock of the Velvet Underground's influence on Pop art, Phillip Glass and Steve Reich's impact on the Minimalist movement to name a few. The anti-bourgeois, anti-war and anarchistic Dada movement in the early 1900's is the groundwork to abstract art and sound poetry, a starting point for performance art, a prelude to postmodernism, an influence on pop art, a celebration of antiart to be later embraced for anarcho-political uses in the 1960s and the movement that lay the foundation for Surrealism. In this movement Kurt Schwitters developed what he called sound poems and composers such as Erwin Schulhoff, Hans Heusser and Albert Savinio wrote Dada music, while members of Les Six collaborated with members of the Dada movement and had their works performed at Dada gatherings.
