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. In PROBES #14 we take a detour to show how a collision of folk mechanisms, social upheaval, sound recording and electrification underpinned the growth of a new polyglot musical language, and a new aesthetic constituency. <br><br><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag">And here you can find the complete series of PROBES</a><br><br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Enjoy!<br></span><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br><br></span></div></div>
