The recent resurgence of experimental music has given rise to a
more divergent range of practices than has previously been the
case. The Ashgate Research Companion to Experimental Music reflects
these recent developments by providing examples of current thinking
and presenting detailed case studies that document the work of
contemporary figures. The book examines fourteen current
practitioners by interrogating their artistic practices through
annotated interviews, contextualized by nine authored chapters
which explore central issues that emerge from and inform these
discussions. Whilst focusing on composition, the book also
encompasses related aspects of performance, improvisation and sonic
art. The interviews all explore how the selected artists work,
focusing on the processes involved in developing their recent
projects, set against more general aesthetic concerns. They aim to
shed light on the disparate nature of current work whilst seeking
to find possible points of contact. Many of the practitioners are
active in areas that span disciplines, such as composition and
improvisation, and the book explores the interaction of these
activities in the context of their work. The other chapters
consider a range of issues pertinent to recent developments in the
genre, including: definitions of experimentalism and its
relationship with a broader avant garde; experimentalism and
cultural change; notation and its effect on composition; realising
open scores; issues of notation and interpretation in live
electronic music; performing experimental music; improvisation and
technology; improvisation and social meaning; instrumentalizing
objects; visual artists' relationships to experimental music;
working across interdisciplinary boundaries; listening and the
soundscape; working methods, techniques and aesthetics of recent
experimental music.
