Experimental music is a compositional tradition that arose in the mid-20th century, particularly in North America, of music composed in such a way that its outcome is unforeseeable. The American composer John Cage is seen as one of the more notable composers associated with this music (Grant 2003, 174). In France, as early as 1953, Pierre Schaeffer had begun using the term "musique expérimentale" to describe compositional activities that incorporated tape music, musique concrète, and elektronische Musik. Also, in America, a quite distinct sense of the term was used in the late 1950s to describe computer-controlled composition associated with composers such as Lejaren Hiller. In 1958, Hiller became the first director of the Studio for Experimental Music at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The Groupe de Recherches de Musique Concrète (GRMC), under the leadership of Pierre Schaeffer, organized the First International Decade of Experimental Music between 8 and 18 June 1953. John Cage was also using the term as early as 1955. Composer and critic Michael Nyman starts from Cage's definition and develops the term "experimental" also to describe the work of other American composers (Christian Wolff, Earle Brown, Meredith Monk, Malcolm Goldstein, Morton Feldman, Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Philip Glass, John Cale, Steve Reich, etc.), as well as composers such as Gavin Bryars, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Cornelius Cardew, John Tilbury, Frederic Rzewski, and Keith Rowe (Nyman 1974, 1, 78–81, 93–115).
Sharing a mutual love for fringe genres of music, Mike Rugnetta of the PBS Idea Channel and I answer a letter asking how to go about appreciating the sounds of Free Jazz, Lowercase, Drone, and Noise.

Neil Feather is an active experimental instrument designer in the U.S. and his collaborator, John Berndt, an intense multi-instrumentalist improviser, is the founder of High Zero festival as well as many other groups. Their chemistry along with the mechanical imperatives of the unusual instruments produces an original sound that is at once otherworldly, funny, and somber. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

Thank you for all of your incredible support, and for getting lost in the world of sound. https://samanarecords.bandcamp.com/track/nick-sumbles-the-ironesque-valley-of-lost-existance-bonus-track This was one of my first ambient soundscapes.. It can mean many things depending on the listeners perspective, but I mainly wanted to create a soundscape that represented a valley where metal giants roamed. It is the 1st and opening song for my upcoming album, "N". Put on your headphones and enjoy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. It really means a lot to me, and I always appreciate feedback. I created this track by mixing together various clips I recorded inside a stairwell, in a park, and on my college ...
