Tintinnabulation is of common use in French, as much as the verb tintinnabuler, but I didn't know it was invented: who's the author? (Lewis Carrol? James Joyce? Barbara Cartland?) Bertrand I must admit, it says a lot about an artist when an invented word becomes part of language. Do you think that in itself is fluxus?
Re: FLUXLIST:by the by...
Isn't tintinnabulation from Edgar Allen Poe's The Bells? ...and the tintinnabulation that so musically swells from the bells...

Re: FLUXLIST:by the by...
Isn't that more like onomonopoea? 'Tinntinnabulate' sounds like a bell, but the word doesn't really look like it. Or is my idea of iconicity off? Coincidentally, Arvo Pärt uses the term to describe his works, post-1970 or so, after his sabbatical. Note the following, borrowed (without permission) from http://www.musicolog.com/: "I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me. I work with very few elements - with one voice, two voices. I build with primitive materials - with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three notes of a triad are like bells and that is why I call it tintinnabulation." -Arvo Pärt Thought that was kinda neat. ~t np: Spoon, "Advance Cassette" (A Series Of Sneaks)Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: Click Here
Re: FLUXLIST:by the by...
Hm, I had been told by an English professor that Edgar Allen Poe invented the word, but when I looked it up in the American Heritage Dictionary, it appeared as though the roots came from Latin... stranger still, all the other dictionaries I checked attributed it to Poe. I wonder who's right? Dan At 09:56 AM 3/3/2002 +0100, you wrote: Tintinnabulation is of common use in French, as much as the verb tintinnabuler, but I didn't know it was invented: who's the author?
