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. 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" target="_blank">And here you can find the complete series of PROBES</a><br><br><br></span></div>
