A Survey Of Experimental Avant Garde And Electronic Music On Vinyl
Today, a spur of the moment video idea came out of a listening session with one album in this survey. I was so taken with it, that I decided to pull a selection of albums from some of the most famous composers and artists in experimental avant-garde and electronic music from that 1950's to the 1980's. Many are important and groundbreaking works of audio art.
Experimental avant garde music encompasses early experiments with magnetic tape manipulation, environmental sounds, percussion, poetry, voice, noise, minimalism, and manipulation of traditional instruments, as well as creation of new instruments.
