Description

"The poetry in Humanophone celebrates composers and creators such as Harry Partch, Raymond Scott, Leon Theremin, and George Ives, who had to invent new instruments to capture the music heard in their "mind's ear." Taking its title from a George Ives invention - an instrument made from a group of humans, each of whom sings a single note, arrayed like a xylophone - Humanophone appears on its surface to be about music. But its real subject is the artist's creative dilemma - how to deliver a new idea, whether it be a song or a poem, through existing media."--BOOK JACKET.
