Scope and Contents Cobbing describes the first time he used words in a non-semantic way (1959). Now does no belive that there are any distinction beween music and art and poetry and dance. He indicates that he does not notate his sound poems because "every shape one sees on a page, conjures up a sound - any sound one hears conjures up a pattern, a mark on the page. Ross asks Cobbing about his sound scores [abstract markings] and how he reads these marks. He cites Norman McLaren who drew a sound track on film. McLaren stated that "a thin line will give you a high sound, a thicker line will give you a lower sound. If you make a little tiny point it'll give you a high 'ping,' if you make it a rounder blob, a biggr blob, it'll give you a 'boom'..." Cobbing indicates than when he makes marks on paper, he writes in sound. Cobbing tells about a painting he made that was exhibited in a library entitled "Integration alone is not enough" (1962/1963) in which Margaret Thatcher, then a local representative saw...

 Item
Identifier: CC-44991-47167
Scope and Contents This text of this book that was first published in Kontextsound in 1977 consists of an interview of Cobbing by Mottram. Cobbing discusses how he switched from composing conventional poems to sound poems circa 1963. He also makes mention of music as it relates to sound poems and his belief that avant garde musicians appropriated material from poets not vice-versa. Bob Cobbing died at age 82 years in 2002. Robert Shepard wrote the obituary in The Guardian October 7, 2002. "Bob Cobbing, who has died aged 82, was the major exponent of concrete, visual and sound poetry in Britain. Long after its international heyday in the 1960s, he continued to produce visual texts that were also scores for performance, many of them published as booklets by his Writers' Forum press, and launched at its associated workshop, which has been meeting in private houses and rooms above pubs since 1954. His work appears in many anthologies. Born in Enfield, Cobbing was brought up within that close religious...
