FLOOD invited artists to submit sound poems in honor of Hugo Ball (died September 14, 1927), creator of "Karawane," (Cabaret Voltaire, 1916).

Sound poetry occupies the overlap zone between music and speech. It seeks to capture the musicality of language free of any meaning. It is language abstracted to the point of not belonging to any language group or family. It approximates or appropriates the sounds of language; it may turn any sound into a sonic approximation of language.
