Using Dada movement poetry as a technique for text score composition was very new and different to me however I don’t feel it is the direction I will go with my composition for the creative project as it’s limitations and imagery are not something I wish to explore. Currently I feel more interested in sonic works of a more technical and technological nature. This feels like a step in a totally different direction and to be honest I am not very fond of the sound pieces presented (Jaap Blonk, Maggie Nicholls) in this genre or way of working as the use of the voice by these artists makes me feel quite uncomfortable providing an irritating experience, personally… and respectfully.

On another note, I rather enjoy the Dada movement poetry technique as is.
