<br><b>VARIATIONS #2. The Globe<br>Summary<br></b>If music initially hesitated to follow the lead of the visual arts in
the field of collage, it made up for lost time in the sixties.
Breakthroughs in high fidelity sound, an influx of consumer level tape
recorders, and the continued influence of television building the notion
of the Global Village were among the factors that led to an explosion
in collage based composition. The most obvious of the shared qualities
in these pieces was a tendency towards the use of World music, culled
from as many disparate locations as possible. If the new availability of
ethnological recordings from around the world had shattered the notion
that music was a universal language, musical collage can be seen as an
instant response to the rest of the world as it became unignorable – a
way to explore things held in common and the potential for hybrid
identities.<br><br>
