The new episode will be available soon!

In the late nineteenth century two facts conspired to change the face of
music: the collapse of common practice tonality (which overturned the
certainties underpinning the world of art music), and the invention of a
revolutionary new form of memory, sound recording (which redefined and
greatly empowered the world of popular music). A tidal wave of probes and
experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices
ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared
terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound
and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of ‘music’. This series
tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show
how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they
do. PROBES
#6 <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes6_chris_cutler_/capsula%22>
continues
to explore probes into pitch through the preparation and modification of
conventional instruments – looking at the many tapings, wrappings,
clampings, clippings, attachments and impairments applied across the family
of strings, before moving on to the less familiar territory of prepared
winds. Some people get up to some pretty strange behaviour in the pursuit
of unusual sounds.

Enjoy!
