Was just told about an awesome site dedicated to Russian Futurist poet Khlebnikov. Here is the link to listen to music using his poetry as lyrics: http://khlebnikov.info/audio/56/music-khlebnikov
Who is Khlebnikov? Apparently, a primitivist, Futurist, anti-Symbolist, Slavophile, shy, pillowcase-carrying, pointillist-and-cubist-appealing-to poet.
Here is a translation of one of his poems:
Bo-beh-oh-bee is the lipsong
Veh-eh-oh-mee is the eyesong
Pee-eh-eh-oh is the eyebrowsong
Lee-eh-eh-ay is the looksong
Gzee-gzee-gzeh-oh is the chainsong
