*New podcast by Chris Cutler:*  In PROBES #26
<https://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-26-1-chris-cutler/capsula> Satie,
Cocteau and Avraamov prise open the musical door that grants free
interchange between the world of things and the practices of art. Chris
Cutler examines some of the consequences.

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
#26 <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-26-1-chris-cutler/capsula>
looks
at the pioneers who drew the soundscape of the world into the realm of
music and, in so doing, eased the way for the emancipation - or
aestheticisation - of noise, which led to the inclusion of everything from
helicopters to roofing felt, ice to polystyrene, scrap-metal to fax
machines in (non-electronic) music compositions and performances.
