What is experimental music today? This book offers an up to date survey of this field for anyone with an interest; from seasoned practitioners to curious readers. This book takes the stance that experimental music is not a limited historical event; but is a proliferation of approaches to sound that reveals much about present-day experience. An experimental work is not identifiable by its sound alone; but by the nature of the questions it poses and its openness to the sounding event.Experimentation is a way of working. It pushes past that which is known to discover what lies beyond it; finding new knowledge; forms; and relationships; or accepting a state of uncertainty. For each of these composers and sound artists; craft is developed and transformed in response to the questions they bring to their work. Scientific; perceptual; or social phenomena become catalysts in the operation of the work. These practices are not presented according to a chronology; a set of techniques; or social groupings. Instead; they are organized according to the content areas that are their subjects; including resonance; harmony; objects; shapes; perception; language; interaction; sites; and histories. Musical materials may be subject; among other treatments; to systemization; observation; examination; magnification; fragmentation; translation; or destabilization. These restless and exploratory modes of engagement have continued to develop over recent decades; expanding the scope of both musical practice and listening.

But Nothing Mind Blowing CoolBy RockyIf you are thinking about getting the E-book Kindle edition like I did. get ready for over half of it to be just text about coloring and more blah blah that really isnt needed. I dont need a prologue to a coloring book. This coloring book. while made by Jupiter Kids. is aimed pretty well towards adults when I finally got to about the 6 designs they show off. All of them are very well drawn and the lines connect together nicely. I like also that there isnt a lot of blank space when I print one of the coloring pages off. It fills out the regular size sheet of paper very well and when coloring does take a little bit of time. if I put thought into color patterns. to complete a design.And yes. I know how to turn e-book pages into PDFs so I can really get the best feel if the coloring book is going to be right for me. While there wasnt a whole to preview in the e-book it did give me a good idea if it was a book that help take my mind of things and release some of the stress I feel when working at a call center. For now. with the price still at 7 bucks. I think Ill just keep using the e-book edition. While the designs are nice. they were nothing new or mind blowing that I havent seen in 20 other adult coloring books that cost less than this one.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
