Categories include Dadaism, Futurism, early 20th century literary experiments, musique concrete, electronic music, Fluxus, Beat sound works, minimalist and process works, performance art, plunderphonics and sampling, and digital glitch works, to name just a few.

THE FATHER: Shall we go on to the terrace, or stay in the room? THE UNCLE: Would it not be better to stay here? THE ELDEST DAUGHTER: Still the stars are shining. THE UNCLE: Ah!
