Scope and Contents
In this anthology, several obsolete, archaic words are depicted in a visual poetic style, e.g., scurryfunge - Scurryfunge - a hasty tidying of the house between the time you see a neighbor and the time she knocks on the door, dodrantle(sic) [dodrantal] a male stripper's instrument 9" in length. Another card depicts "Plunderphonics" that is applied to any music made by taking one or more existing audio recordings and altering them in some way to make a new composition. There is no attempt to disguise the fact that the sounds making up the composition have been "borrowed" in this way, and sometimes the sounds may be taken from very familiar sources. Plunderphonics can be considered a form of sound collage. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
