Documented in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s by Arrigo Lora Totino (Turin, 1928-2016) one of the greatest interpreters and exegetes of international concrete and sound poetry, this collection features previously unreleased recordings of modern, performance, phonetic, and concrete poetry, alongside tape and spoken word compositions, as well as text-based works by nine artists. It includes both Italian experimentalists and a selection of international figures, such as Arrigo Lora-Totino himself, also including two extraordinary works by Giulia Niccolai and Patrizia Vicinelli - two of the most representative female authors in the context of XX century Italian experimental literature and Sound Poetry - Eugenio Miccini, Patricia Vicinelli, Gerhard Ruhm, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Wendt, and Raoul Hausmann. This compilation is creatively visionary from beginning to end and holds significant historical importance among releases.
