Scope and Contents

The cover of the compact disc case contains a rounded, typewriter poem print formed by heavy overtyping of the letter "b" in its upper half and the letter "c" in its lower half. In its upper half, Chopin has typed a line of text, "B.C.- vous pour une musique neuve." The postcards are computer images of Henri Chopin's voice. In the brochure, Battier explains how audiopoems become music through the computer. He comments: "I want to invent the sound poet's voice as music." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
