Working Hypothesis

by Chris Mann

Music. Philosophy. Poetry. Chris Mann is a world-renowned, Australian born composer now living in New York City, whose work involves radical experiments with language, textuality, multi-media composition, and experimental formats for publishing texts. WORKING HYPOTHESIS is text as music -- assembling, interrupting, and deconstructing language concepts from scientific, philosophical , and socio-political thought, in ways at once disorienting and amusing. "The surface of his poetry's music, its body's talk--a fast mix of vulgarity and elegance"--John Cage. "As a computer, Latin suffered from predictions. I've a mind to do you too." ("K Marx1843") "Chris Mann can talk the wings off a bat"--Larry Polansky.
