about

Dutch Futurismo’s Festival of Misfits is a welcome addition to Ektro Records’ series of releases by Hungarian-born artists and musicians Éva Polgár and Sándor Vály. Working with Nea Lindgren and Mikael Jurmu, Polgár and Vály enter the soundscapes of Spanish seashores, streets, flats and ateliers, where their music takes an unpredictable course. The procession of whimsical improvisations, peculiar solutions and impossible circumstances was recorded with a single microphone. Performed on instruments built from scrap materials from streets and dumpsters, Dutch Futurismo brings together Arte Povera and Dada. While impinging the obvious conventions of making music, Dutch Futurismo’s unruly approach also taps into the Cagean tradition of widening the horizons of what is perceived as music in the first place, as each sound on the album lives and breathes according to its own unapologetic logic.

Dutch Futurismo’s Festival of Misfits celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Dada by reciting poems and proclamations of Dadaists Kurt Schwitters, Hugo Ball, Hans Arp and Francis Picabia.

lyrics

Enemy Alien

Standing on a high mountain
I felt free
I danced to the music
the mountains make together

But while I dance
clouds hid the mountains

and when they cleared
I found myself in
this deep valley

where the clouds go walking
among ghostly tree

kszzziss saw
kszzzziss saw
with the hiss of a sawblade
death comes singing
kszzziss saw
kszzzziss saw
How about this one?
Not much left of him
EVERYBODY'S HUNGRY FOR. . .

Not Fantastic
They rarely come back
when they're this far gone
kszzziss saw
kszzzzisss saw

Papers
Have your papers ready
Any rags, any bones, any bottles today
The same old question in the same old way

DIG FOR VICTORY
ksszzziss saw
kssszzzziss saw

Midday was dim
I saw nothing
Riverside 1698
No mountains
22
No way back
22
to the mountains I had lost
ZOOM BOOM
Opened by customs
ZOOM BOOM
Have your papers ready
kksszzziss saw
The round-faced official
with his rubber stamp

ZOOM BOOM
Edinburgh Manchester
The Isle of Man
ZOOM BOOM
kkszziss saw
Says he's an artist
kksszzzzisssaw
That's how far gone he is
Pure Rich Milk
Nature's Finest

kksszzzzissaw
