	The ZAUM Project
		ZAUM is a type of sound-poetry invented by the Russian cubo-futurists around the turn of the century.
		Zaum is the name for a music-theatre composition derived from radical language based concepts introduced during a little understood period of art history close by the turn of the century: Russian Futurism.
		In both cases, the 'absurdity' of zaum had a purpose and was never completely anarchic: for Khlebnikov that purpose was connected with new ways of harnessing language as a means of communication, whereas Kruchenykh totally abandoned rational interpretation wanting to connect on a level that went beyond rational processes and deep into the psyche.

	Encyclopedia article: Zaum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Coined by Kruchenykh in 1913, the word zaum is made up of the Russian prefix za- (beyond, behind) and noun um (the mind) and has been translated as "transreason" or "beyonsense".
		According to scholar Gerald Janecek, zaum can be defined as experimental poetic language characterized by indeterminacy in meaning.
		Examples of zaum include Kruchenykh's poem "dyr bul schyl" and his libretto for the Futurist opera "Victory Over the Sun", and Khlebnikov's so-called "Language of the Birds", "Language of the Gods" and "Language of the Stars".

	Zaum - words without meaning or meaning without words?
		The resulting texts in their total rejection of traditional language are unfortunately inaccessible for the audience of today; they don't provide useful language-based footholds to connect the reader with the inner meaning of the text, leading one to suggest that the texts have reduced cultural significance.
		He believed that zaum language was "demanded by the confused character of contemporary life and served as an antidote to the paralysis of common language."13 This was a reaction against the obsession with meaning, reason, psychology and philosophy presented by the conservative literary traditions.
		The zaum texts themselves are presented in the performance in a manner that seems at first to be illogical or absurd, remaining faithful to cubo-futurist theatre.

	[No title]
		Zaum is the trans-mind-- a state of being where language and vision occur outside of conscious thought.
		The idea of zaum originated from artist-explorer Velimir Khlebnikov and poet Alexei Kruchenyk, theorists of the Russian Cubo-Futurist movement in the early 20th century.
		Zaum, or, "beyonsense" was the suprarational, transcendental language of the future based on Slavic roots and sounds indicated by individual letters of the alphabet.

	from Gerald Janecek "Kruchonykh" Part 2 from "Zaum: The Transrational Poetry of Russian Futurism" at Light and Dust
		Among the recorded contributions of Dr. Kharazov to the discussion of Freud and zaum were a lecture, "Freud's Theories and Zaum poetry," at the Fantastic Little Inn, April 5, 1918, and his participation in a debate "On Theater and Zaum poetry" at the Conservatory, May 27, 1918, in which Kruchonykh also took part (Gordeev 1918:136).
		However, the same limitation would be present in phonetic zaum, since such words would have to be present in their dictionary form in order to be recognized and serve their function; otherwise they become ambiguous, lose their logical function, and become a part of the sound patterning equivalent to other words.
		Zaum, taking all the creative values from insanity [bezumiya] (which is why the words are almost the same), except for its helplessness -its sickness.

	from Gerald Janecek "Kruchonykh" from "Zaum: The Transrational Poetry of Russian Futurism" at Light and Dust
		The only non-phonetic zaum is in the opening lines to the first poem: kak bezkonechnolunylaya verchalkolesa v balomol'e ("as endlessly / she is limp turning / wheels in a molemill [?]").
		In Figure 10, one version of which is in Tsots (this one is from Zaum'), the visual links between the letters and the lines are more developed, the curved lines and positioning of the letters being echoed by the other curved lines.
		At this point, one might raise the not-too-facetious question of the existence of a category of subphonetic zaum on the lowest end of the zaum spectrum, that is, a level of zaum in which letters or graphemes no longer even stand for sounds, but are virtually silent forms, such as in Figure 21.

	Zaum and Sun: The 'first Futurist opera' revisited
		The text was overshadowed by the music, costumes and action; perhaps as in the original performance, after which critics complained that most of the dialogue had been inaudible.
		Kruchenykh wrote much of the text in zaum, or transrational language, in which Russian was broken down into its fundamental sound forms to strip it of precise meaning and to lay bare the deeper and more primitive force of the sounds themselves.
		Obviously, zaum is untranslatable, so in places the actors spoke the original verses, handing out English equivalents on pieces of paper.

	"Zaum-tick-l'Eee" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A range of sensations from delight to distress may be experienced when one is being tickled, and I became especially interested in the depth of "body memory" recalled in tickling.
		The sounds produced by the subjects of the work recalled the pure phoneme sound, or "Zaum" poetry, of native peoples and European experimentalists, hence: "Zaum tick l' Eee".
		The interactor engaging the sound sculptures may feel simultaneously delighted by the overheard laughter and somewhat guilty for listening-in with voyeuristic pleasure to such an intimate exchange.

		In early twenties, he was associated with the poetry movement known as "Zaum" ("Trans-sense", "Trans-rational", or "Unintelligible").
		On 17 October 1925, just eight days after being officially accepted into the Leningrad department of the All-Russian Union of Poets, Kharms performed at a Zaum literary evening, along with Vvedensky and Tufanov.
		In January 1926, Kharms and Vvedensky formed a branch of Zaum, calling themselves "Plane Trees".

	Steve Harris, Zaum / Unsolicited Music Ensemble, Bulbs / Plaza Jazz Trio, Soaring
		Zaum is a CD of improvisations (“instant compositions,” it says here) performed by a British ensemble, but – here’s the catch!
		Stevens and Dzierzanowski’s backgrounds are perhaps in rock music, given their tendency to pile on the effects pedals and distortion like they’re in a 1970s rock band.
		On “Zaum,” for instance, the viola ends up sounding more like a lawnmower engine revving up and stalling than anything else.

	Jacket 27 - April 2005 - Brian Reed: Locating "Zaum": Mnatsakanova on Khlebnikov
		This inductive scrutiny of Khlebnikov’s vertiginous wordplay leads Mnatsakanova to downplay zaum as an obshchij jazyk, a ‘general language,’ that is, one that everyone everywhere can (or will be able to) speak and understand.
		Mnatsakanova concludes from this anecdote that, although passages of zaum verse might contain deeper or inscrutable logics, their primary purpose is to convey the ‘magic’ of a child’s uncomprehending but welcoming encounters with new, strange environments.
		Mnatsakanova contends that the transnational zaum fraternity that Khlebnikov celebrates should not be seen as a fuzzy retooling of Marxist-Leninist communism.

	The Space- Blah Blah. Da Da Zaum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In his book Modern Times Modern Places, on the revolutions in ideas and values that have characterised modernity, Peter Conrad has a chapter called Zaum on the loss of meaning of words, the loss of faith in language that, even before the First World War, overtook many artists, writers and composers.
		Zaum was a word the Russian Futurists made up in 1912, to stand for the arbitrary neologisms, unintelligible slogans and fragmented phonemes they liked to use.
		If it means anything at all, says Conrad, zaum means that words have no necessary, inherent meaning.

	TUJEM NAUM VHODD ZAUM - Jose Rod's Konkani Drama
		Given the contribution by Jacint Vaz, Rosario Rodrigues, M. Boyer and others to the Konkanni stage, highlighting these stalwarts's work including imitating them in their actions, etc. by the current generation of stars could be termed as an ultimate tribute to their heroes.
		The drama winds up with Joe and Simone wishing their Son Jills, "Tujem Naum Vhodd Zaum", meaning to say that, as they, from his childhood and till date always wanted what was best for him in future also they wanted the very best for him.
		Without singling out individual performances which were outstanding all the cast did justice to their roles and working as a cohesive unit together with the people behind the scenes contributing their bit, the drama is worth a see and must have provided a complete entertainment package to the audience.

		Zaum is a dance work inspired by the futurist and early modernist philosophers, writers, artists, choreographers, and musicians who worked in the first part of the twentieth century.
		The musical score mimics the sound world created by composer George Antheil in his Ballet Mecanique: multiple pianos, percussion, and industrial noises.
		The music was mostly created using midi controlled synthesized sound (in keeping with Antheil's interest in machine controlled music) with the addition of some sampled piano sounds, sampled industrial noises, and sampled voices.
