"In I98O, twenty-five years had passed since the early days, around I955, of what has since been called sound poetry. Reckoning, rightly or wrongly, that the public who attended the colloquium would know nothing or very little about this movement, my purpose in writing this text was an attempt to prove that this current could rightly, claim the label of avant-garde, and to do so I had to define in detail the components, to briefly trace its sources and history with its various realizations or manifestations, and finally to locate its trajectory in the context of other currents more or less parallel, arisen during this period."--English translation of French text on preface from the publisher's Web site
