That’s Guillaume Apollinaire‘s face on the cover of Kramer‘s new Shimmy Disc release (due out next month) Words & Music Book One, a poetry-and-music album, inspired by the old Dial-A-Poem records of John Giorno and dedicated to the late great Hal Willner The record features spoken-word pieces by Allen, (“At Apollinaire’s Grave”), Gregory Corso,(“Army”) Terry Southern (“Surrealist Dialogue”), and many others, all of them set to ambient music composed by Kramer, music which he describes as “liquid foundations for the words to float upon”. “The music must never come between the listener, and the words. The words come first.” #GuillaumeApollinaire #AllenGinsberg #kramer #TerrySouthern #shimmydisc @shimmydisc #wordsandmusicbookone #michaelminzer #halwillner #apollinaire #johnGiorno https://www.instagram.com/p/CVoOzfMPgkm/?utm_medium=tumblr
