</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Georgia">There's no end of things that have been laid on, tied to, screwed into
or otherwise attached to alter the sound of conventional instruments. This
sixth programme draws a map and explores some of the outer reaches of string and
wind preparations.</span></p>

</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Georgia">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. This sixth programme 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.</span></p>
