Description - What's the Matter with Today's Experimental Music? by Leigh Landy
A study of contemporary music based on the premise that it is suffering from a distinct lack of attention. It inspects and evaluates what is happening to musical experimentation, where things might have gone wrong and what can be done to resolve the problem. Today a composer's newest creation is not always eagerly anticipated and the composer is lucky to have his work performed at all. The book is concerned, therefore, with the dispersion of today's experimental compositions. It is intended to be a supplement to surveys of music of the past forty years. Not only are the problems of musical content discussed, but also of extra-musical nature. Today's education and communications media are seen to be the main cause of the anonymity of contemporary music and suggestions are made to improve this situation. The author investigates audio-visual applications new timbres and sound sources, the discovery of musical space, new notations, musical politics, and the "musical community".
