sure :-)
but what does it mean
1) Experimental as in the genre named by Cage in the 1950's
2) Experimental as in the music is in some way an experiment. When
I wrote a classical guitar piece in rondo sonata form *that*
was certainly an experiment...wasn't very groundbreaking tho'.
Varese was messing with tech in the 1950's
"Genres" are obsolete.
so far the "nothing new since the 1950's"
hypothesis stands.
