HUUMMMM ALONG WITH… The Art of NOISE
(a zang tuum tumb fantasy)
a. The group are perfectly capable of intelligent conversation.
b. They have an almost hygenic need for complications.
c. In any given year the group will: respect everyone; die in the field of honour; vote for so and so; respect nature and painting; consider themselves likeable.
d. They will never accept that a whole sentence can ever come from half a man.
e. It took the most advanced electronic equipment imaginable for the group to execute this, their first collection of noise. And a strange way of breathing.
BETWEEN jest AND earnest .. BETWEEN love AND war… BETWEEN now AND then… HUUMMMM along with…
