Karawane, on Dada et la Musique
This is the version of Hugo Ball’s sound poem I was familiar with before my little internet video foray in the last post. I’m sure part of it is that it was the first version I heard, but I find this recording far more compelling than any other version (including the recording of Ball himself!). It might be the accent, or how she delivers the nonsense words as if they were real words, without the self-conscious, drawn-out “ooohssaaaaaaaakaaaaa” stuff of the other versions.
