 Cutler traces the immense impact Indian instruments and aesthetics had 
on both thinking and playing, across all forms of western music from 
Messiaen and La Monte Young to John Coltrane and the Beatles.</span></span><br><br>Link: <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-cutler/capsula" target="_blank">http://rwm.macba.cat/en/<wbr>curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-<wbr>cutler/capsula</a><br>Transcript: <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/probes20-chris-cutler-transcript/capsula" target="_blank">http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/<wbr>probes20-chris-cutler-transcri<wbr>pt/capsula</a><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;display:inline;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br><br>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.<br></span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;display:inline;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>>></span><a style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag" target="_blank">And HERE you can find the complete series of PROBES</a><br><br></font></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font size="2"><b><span style="color:rgb(255,0,255)">Enjoy!</span></b></font></span></div>
