The most serious of all the Sciences and the end of all ends,
'Pataphysics is the Science of Imaginary Solutions. Although
unknowingly practised by everybody at all times, it took the pistol
toting, expert fencer, literary madman, maniac midget and designer of
the time machine, Alfred Jarry, to recognise it and give it a name. In
this CD, travel overland by sea in your skiff, following Dr Faustroll
by the light of a green candle, along the gidouille that is the history
of Pataphysics in sound.
The publication has been curated by
Professor Andrew Hugill, Director of the Centre for Creative
Technologies and the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre
at De Montford University, UK. He is also a leading authority on
‘Pataphysics and a member of the Collège de 'Pataphysique, where he was
awarded the Emphyteosis and the rank of Petit Fils d'Ubu.
