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

FESTIVAL OF MISFITS

If you are too successful, and have nostalgia for the days when you were not.
If you are unsuccessful, and hope some day success will knock at your door.
If you are too beautiful, and find men in the street are bothersome.
If you are ugly, madame, and wish you were beautiful.
If you sleep profoundly at night, and feel that it is a waste of time.
If you suffer from insomnia, and have time on your hands.
If you have teeth, and no meat.
If you have meat, and no teeth.
If you belong to the weaker sex, and wish you were of the stronger.
If you're in love and it makes you suffer.
If you're loved and it bores you.
If you're rich, and envy the simple happiness of the poor.
If you're poor, and long for la Dolce Vita.
If you're afraid to die, or find no point in living.
If you're a drunkard or teetotaler.
If you believe in heaven or believe in hell.
If you're satisfied wit the colour of your skin, or would rather change it.
If you believe in yourself and are pleased with what you do, or don't believe in yourself, and wonder what you are doing and why


then come to see the
FESTIVAL OF MISFITS

built by people who sometimes sleep soundly, sometimes don't: sometimes are hungry, sometimes overfed: sometimes feel young, rich and handsome, sometimes old, ugly and poor: sometimes belleve in themselves, sometimes don't: sometimes are artists, sometimes not.

We make music which is not Music, poems that are not Poetry, painting that are not Painting,
but music that may fit poetry,
poetry that may fit paintings
paintings that may fit....someting, someting which gives us the chance to enjoy a happy,, nonspecialized fantasy.
