British writer Bob Cobbing, along with Paula Claire and Michael Chant, formed the poetic trio Konkrete Canticle, which first appeared on the compilation Experiments in Disintegrating Language. The three artists designed the entire B-side of the record, with one of the three artists taking the leading, formative role in each of the seven pieces. They created pieces of concrete poetry, sound poetry, performing with voice and accompanying instruments. Works of visual poetry are printed inside the record cover.
