I guess their name is related to Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi.

Yes.. indeed, I think you are right. As you know the avantgarde popnoise band Père Ubu took their name from the character in the same play.. surprisingly named Père Ubu.. Very Happy

Hmm.. there is a whole mythology about the Theatre de l’Oeuvre...

gadji beri bimba! Great site. Been spending much time there over the last few days. Did you check this one out?

http://www.ubu.com/found_frames.html

Shocked

Ha! And I thought I had problems.

What's strange is that considering UB's historical legacy (Feldman, Babbitt, etc) in electronic music, there isn't a similar mp3 archive. Could it be a "worldwide, systematic, frankenstein, communist, gangster, computer, tv, mongrel conspiracy"?

Oh yeah, you want to select 'sound' & then click on 'Francis E Dec' for the above URL to put it all in perspective. Very Happy

Wow! Great site.

It's either synchronicity or did you visit my site Electro80?
I just linked to them last week.
JOHN GIORNO and dial a poet mp3s! in the Aspen section...

I have seen your site too yes. I got the word about the UBUWEB from a buddy who knows the divine entities that are running that site.

John Giorno?? Aha??

Due to a series of apparently coincidental events I rediscovered a site of a friend from the past; Miekal And; http://www.housepress.ca/and.htm.

If you liked the classics from the SUNY mp3 archive at ubu, you might want to check out this more contemporary collection. In particular is his Radio Catepillar http://cla.umn.edu/joglars/radio_caterpillar/index.html; "The world's only email radio station. Listeners are the composers are the djs." Haven't tried them all yet but there's some fun interactive things here. Very Happy

However, be warned that the Recursion Stereoscape apparently operates by repeatedly superimposing html pages over one another which can drive your browser into a nervous breakdown. Shocked

Also ink1 at ic-music media; http://www.ic-musicmedia.com/artist_pages/artistpage.php?id=38648; "film-like soundscapes with spoken word. From chill-out to electro-rage. From silly to serious. " Some of these tracks really kick it whether you like spoken word or not.
