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<span class=""> <span class=""><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">probes</span></span></span><span class=""> </span>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. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial"></span></p>
