American double bass improviser Damon Smith (who also runs the Balance Point Acoustics label) has established long-term collaborative relationships with two veteran masters of free improvisation – Dutch vocal artist Jaap Blonk, with whom he interpreted the poems of the founder of the Dada movement, Hugo Ball (Hugo Ball: Sechs Laut-Und Klanggedichte, 1916 [Six Sound Poems, 1916] (Balance Point Acoustics, 2014), and American drummer Ra Kalam Bob Moses, with whom he recorded three albums, the latest a duo, Purecircle (Balance Point Acoustics, 2022).
Rune Kitchen brings Blonk and Moses for a first, recorded meeting at Birdcloud Studios in Collinsvile, Illinois, in November 2022, just after Smith finished a long tour with Blonk and began a new tour with Moses. This inspired match worked well and Blonk and Moses wrote a concrete Dada poem as their «liner notes» (…Bugala google a hell of Chihuahua humano Snuka…”). This is also the first album that features Smith’s artwork (and Smith is a passionate arts aficionado), a mirco-collages from 2003 or 2004 reproduced in actual size.
The atmosphere in this session is relaxed but restless, conversational yet eccentric, and blends three distinct, inventive and highly personal approaches to

Jaap Blonk
Delaina Haslam
I was dissed by a sound poet. “Dissed” isn’t quite right. He wasn’t angry but he was disappointed, which we all know to be the worst kind of admonition.

Jaap Blonk had been sold to me as the “world’s greatest living sound poet”. Sound poetry is non-semantic; it sometimes uses sound to convey meaning, at other times there may be no ‘meaning’, just sounds. Blonk in fact deems the term ‘sound poet’ too limited for what he does: “I would rather call myself a maker of creative work in a broad sense. For instance, I compose instrumental music as well, and make visual work.

When it was my turn, I introduced myself. Recognition dawned on him. He said hello but q
