Vintage recordings of interviews with and essays by surrealist artists. Some of the interviews focus on historical events – meetings, exhibitions, etc. – while others focus on the artistic methods, meaning of “art”, and more abstract topics. Some of the pieces are in English, some in French. For the French, translations are printed in the booklet. There are also some musical selections.

Stories: 10, 11 (description of a dream), 12
Essays/ideas: 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 14, 15
Music: 1, 4, 13 (a poem, actually)
