[1] Radical Birds of Islam by Jonathan Borofsky & Ed Tomney (ROIR) Where Ed Tomney uses a computer program to translate Borofsky's continual counting of numbers into a musical score for voice. Reconstructed form tape edits and influenced by Islamic prayer chants heard over a Jerusalem radio station.

"Voices of Unknown Origin Appearing on Radio Frequencies were first noticed in Scandinavia by the military in the 30s and were put down to secret Nazi transmitters. But the voices spoke in unknown and mixed tongues. And after the war, no records of secret Nazi transmissions ever came to light. The voices didn't stop after the war...but it was not until 1959 that a Russian-born Swedish citizen, radio and tv producer and filmmaker, Frederich Jorgensen, noticed intrusions on tape and commenced his own systematic study. A disturbing fact soon emerged; the voices zeroed in onto the Swede, addressing him by name, revealing a knowledge of his thoughts and actions and claiming to be the voices of deceased friends and acquaintances..."
... Raymond Cass
[3] scat is partly the human voice's attempts to imitate or "talk" with a musical instrument - often the trumpet.
[4] "Luna Park 010" features an incredible collection of word mangling heavyweights protonouveau nonsensesound poetry. Highly recommended. With Apollinaire, Mayakovski, Joyce, Artaud, Tzara, Duchamp, e.e. cummings, gysin and others. words have never seemed so alien and other and have never served so little purpose while seeming to mean so much without knowing quite why.
[5] "Fellatio Praecox: Outspoken Word Trips" Black Sifichi's unreleased private trax Bootleg CD with Negative Stencil, Roma Napoli and other Parisian and world luminaries.
[6] In 1967's "Comic Strip," Gainsbourg invites Brigitte Bardot to "come into my comic strip." She supplies comic book "Pow-bang" exclamations, innovatively manipulating pop's virtual surfaces like a Liechtenstein painting come alive.
[7] Wreck This Mess: A Collection of word stripping. 1989 Paris.

Wreck This Mess 10 years in the air/area = Amsterdam. Paris. NY. thanx Black Sifichi
