[spectre] New instalment of Chris Cutler's PROBES series: scrap-metal, typewriters, vacuum cleaners, dot matrix printers, industrial quantities of paper, telephones, and the humble bean

[Radio Web MACBA]

In PROBES #27 <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-27> Chris Cutler tracks
the modern composer from the scrapyard to the office, then through the
living living room and into the kitchen in search of new musical resources
- including scrap-metal, typewriters, vacuum cleaners, dot matrix printers,
industrial quantities of paper, telephones, and the humble bean. Feat.
music by  Test Dept., Magnus Lindberg, [The User],  Tan Dun, Annie
Gosfield, Allison Knowles and more.

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.
