accumulate percussion in search of new timbres and pitch-free noise to meet the
demands of restless modernism.

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.<a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-17-1-chris-cutler/capsula"><span> </span></a></span><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-17-1-chris-cutler/capsula"><b style="padding:0px;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-style:normal;font-variant: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)">In PROBES #17</b></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!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-17-1-chris-cutler/capsula">, we trace how the gamelan collided with western notions of music and exotic percussion spread like a virus into every field</a>.<br><br></span></span></font></div><br style="padding:0px;margin:0px;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;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Transcript available here: </span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/probes17-chris-cutler-transcript/capsula" target="_blank">http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/probes17-chris-cutler-transcript/capsula</a></span></font></div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">You can find the complete series <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag" target="_blank">here</a>: <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag" target="_blank">http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag</a><br></span></font><br><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">+<br>If you like this series, you may also </span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><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!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><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!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">enjoy our <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/linesofsight-tag/">LINES OF SIGHT</a> podcast series, exploring </span></span></font></span></span></font><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:georgia,"Times New Roman",times,serif;font-size:13px;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!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">different ideas linked to transmission as a means of creative expression</span></div>
