apart from the dialogues with important artists and writers, which served him as a starting point for the sound poems in this section, ide also has some "looped & sequenced vocal samples", which don’t have any additional historical importance, but are valuable in themselves, for the sake of the sound, exclusively. we can even listen to a dialogue with a chair – no. 48: "kvi:ts" "from a dialogue with a chair" - or to 49: "'e:mu": "looped samples: snoring".
all the dialogues, due to the loop technique, are like matryoshka dolls (only not decreasing in size, but irregular), based on sound structures framed in each other: fragments of words mixed with body sounds – coughing, snoring, clearing one’s voice etc. – diluted sounds of voice, electronic sounds produced by the synthesizer. the loop creates a certain rhythm that gives the suggestion of a musical pattern, a musicality previously created in the "30 rufe" album by the consonants and vowels being sung and not spoken.
the "duets & trios" are a variation of the "dialogues & loops" but, much like the "vocal notes", and different from the former, they were not “planned”, they just “happened”.
an interesting duet is no. 58, "ai subi da" "with a broken water tube" (listen to the annexed cd), ide’s voice is accompanying the heart-rending sound of the broken tube in an attempt to follow its acoustic flow. the voice of the human being is overlapped on the squeak of the device; there are no more silent intervals, they perform together, at the same time. the irony of the poem comes from the author’s intention to confer human features to the water tube. because the broken device is only able to produce a long pathetic creak, seemingly striving to survive, ide is also forced to perform a shrill dramatic cry, trying to keep the same “frame of mind” with the home appliance, during the 1’15” long piece.
