A student who does not write with the skill normally required of an upper-division student will not earn a passing grade, no matter how well the student performs in other areas of the course. Writing proficiency is required for a passing grade in this course. In addition to critical reading, discussion and listening we will perform experimental music compositions to encourage a "hands-on" engagement with the subject. We will begin be defining what experimental music is - what is the impulse that drives some artists to push outside the realms of their traditions, or even outside what is normally called music? Rather than limiting our view to experimentalism in Western art music, as has largely been the case in surveys of this subject, we will also listen to and study experiments in jazz, rock, hip hip, reggae and other global musics to put the experimentalist aesthetic in a broad historical and cultural context. This course will introduce you to a variety of theories and practices of musical experimentalism in a global context.
