The Iron Foundry, written by an officially supported Soviet composer during the 1950's, this composition, which has been recorded, is suggestive of events in a foundry. 2. Ballet Mechanique by George Antheil, written during the earlier part of the 20th Century as part of the futurist movement. The performance was promoted by Ezra Pound. 3. L's G.A. (for voice reading through a helium mask and for tape.) The text is Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. It sounds like hordes of brain-damaged people reading it.
