📢 Time to choose the next #GenreOfTheWeek!

Huge shoutout to @gamesformusic for handling the current #GenreOfTheWeek!

Next week I'll still be out and about (and stressed and busy), sooo who wants to host?

#GenreOfTheWeek

#VenaCava is a live performance album by #AvantGarde artist #DiamandaGalás. It was released in 1993

She attracted attention particularly for her voice – a soprano #Sfogato – and written accounts that describe her work as original and thought-provoking refer to her as "CAPABLE OF THE MOST UNNERVING VOCAL TERROR" 📢 listen @ 2:40 !

Here is an excerpt from the album that I think is just fantastic. It includes #AmazingGrace and #InHeavenThereIsNoBeer

Enjoy!

Doesn't get much more experimental than this.

#GenreOfTheWeek

@gamesformusic Funny, I think of the current #genreoftheweek as challenging listening. Or, perhaps, music on hard mode. 😂

Is the current #GenreOfTheWeek "easy listening"? That depends, and let's not get too deep into mere pretexts.

Nevertheless, listening to YouTube examples may be much easier with this growing playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCmi-sg-K1ZlFsOTi4cLJNoSUXyBVvIaf&si=2E32In7OcPId8ggH ;p

Also, some relaxing #experimentalMusic pieces might be found on "Music for Church Cleaners" album, recorded, as you might guess it, when a religious building was in maintenance mode:

Consider another proposition for the 😜 🙃 🤔 #GenreOfTheWeek (#ExperimentalMusic / #AvantgardeMusic). Introducing another subgenre -- #plunderphonics in 1989:

Is #AvantGardeMusic the same as #ExperimentalMusic ?
I often hear that they are because "experimental" and "avant-garde" are synonymous, but I beg to differ.
So I'd like to contribute my favorite avant-garde artist to this week's #GenreOfTheWeek : #Buckethead

Starting off with one of my favorite songs "Callbox", I hope that you can hear how this isn't experimental but definitely avant-garde.

For those who are following along this week, I'd like to share STEP OUTSIDE. It is 2 hours dedicated to music that is Strange and Beautiful and is one of my favorite programs on my beloved local community radio station, WMNF.

https://www.wmnf.org/events/a-step-outside/

Every week Sunday 10pm - 12am, archives online good for one week.

I will get to more engaging works later, but it is an actual fact that 4'33" was my #1 played Spotify songs last year.

#GenreOfTheWeek is decided!

This week will be all about #experimentalMusic/ #avantGardeMusic (is it the same thing? we can discuss that too, but...)
The thing to do now is to share our favorite examples of this genre! :)

For a starter example, Alvin Lucier's classic: I Am Sitting In A Room, which shows how many amazing sounds you can get just from repeated re-recording of the same track:
