Created in 1966, Stripsody explores the sonic landscape of comic strips. The piece is written for solo unaccompanied voice, utilizing exclusively the onomatopoeic sounds commonly found in comic books of the era (such as "Boom," "Wham," "Gulp," and "Click"). Berberian took the ephemeral, commercial sounds of pop culture and elevated them into high art, echoing the contemporary Pop Art movement led by figures like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
