The Australian artist group Arf Arf writes and performs polyphonic sound poetry. Besides this, most of the members make experimental films and animations. Marcus Bergner, Marisa Stirpe, Frank Lovece and Michael Buckley travelled around the world performing poetry and screening films. In 1993 they decided to combine all their talents – moving, drawing, reciting, filming, acting, singing and playing. The collaboratively made experimental and improvisational documentary ‘Thread of Voice’ (featuring Bob Cobbing / Konkrete Canticle) has been shown around the world, and is included in this wonderful compilation.
