This is a mailing list for the discussion of artists and their works who fall within the following boundaries:
- Derivative artists generally considered outside the classical genre but who incorporate traditional classical components in a predominantly unconventional manner. Instrumentation may either be accoustically or electronically generated, but usually fused with another musical style.
- Experimental artists generally considered within the classical genre but who work outside the boundaries of traditional classical structure. Instrumentation is usually acoustically generated, but often by unconventional means.
Here are a few artists who would might be discussed on the list:
- Shinjuku Thief, In The Nursery, Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, Daniel Denis, Pete Namlook, Peter Frohmader, Graeme Revell, Laibach, Autopsia, Mynox Layh, Frame/Cut/Frame, Edgar Varese, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Michael Nyman, Steve Reich, Harry Partch, Morton Feldman, Mossolov, Iannis Xenakis.
NOT discussed on this list are:
-Klaus Schulze & Tangerine Dream: though they incorporate many elements of classical structure, both are discussed extensively on the Space-Music and Tangerine Dream mailing lists.
- Orchestration of popular music (ie. Royal Philharmonic doing Genesis)
- Semantics of musical labels.
The list is available as a daily digest and reflector.
