phil.i.stein Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 another Bill Laswell fan here. there's nothing quite like some dubbed out bass and John Zorn spewing into a saxaphone.

ahpook Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 if you can say "that's experimental music"... surely it isn't. if it were truly experimental.....you wouldn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 That's that hair split..... There is certainly a sense that some musicains (Hancock, Monk, Jarrett etc) have earned the right to smack the keyboard with their elbow/head/any part of their anantomy. If that's all someone can do, then the credibility of the technique as an artistic choice is compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 As someone who's got more John Zorn and Tzadik label music than any sane person should have, I wanted to like this but I'm not convinced. To my mind the best experimental music has some form to it,a sense of going somewhere and interplaying between the instruments within that loose journey. I got no sense of story here, it went nowhere and didn't make me want to find out what happened next. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How are we defining experimental? Is it instrumentation, structure, musical ambition? I'd probably call something like this experimental: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ6Sk8Aj-SQ[/youtube] Sure they're using guitar, bass and drums, but the guitarist uses a lot of extended techniques and prepared guitars. I can certainly hear a lot of punk and maybe some thrash influences in there, but they way combine and execute them is certainly pushing the boat out for me. Something like this as well: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzu1-SI7_KY&feature=related[/media] Or is being experimental more down to completely left-field avant-garde ideas, like Metal Machine Music or John Cage's stuff? Not just combining existing things in a new way but actually coming up with new things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 If you play enough experimental music does it ever become established and non-experimental music? Answers on the lid of a prepared piano please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I've been to concerts of music by John Cage, Fred Frith, AMM, Globe Unity Orchestra and Cornelius Cardew amongst many others all which had the words 'experimental music' on the poster. The same year i saw concerts by the Yamashita Trio and Derek Bailey with no mention of experimental music on the poster. I'm still not sure how you tell even if it is on the poster but i do now (if i have the opportunity) to ask the performer if it experimental music before they start playing which often puts my mind at ease.
