Tetsu Inoue's work is great stuff.

For all that my process of music-making is largely experimental, I haven't listened to a lot of experimental stuff. No Cage, no Stockhausen, no Merzbow, etc.

I do occasionally find interesting things to expose myself to (

) -- I love Brutum Fulmen's "Quartet for Plastic Toy Horns" and some of Reed Ghazala's pure circuit bending stuff. And I do listen to a bit of 8-bit music, but find myself more inspired by the rhythmically driven stuff than the "melody is king" school.

But I'm not sure experimental music is a place where you really need to study its roots, beyond a basic awareness...

I'm not sure I agree there. Certainly you don't have to codify it, but knowing what has come before is the best way to figure out what comes next.

I've been reading up a lot lately on music of the last 100 years, and as I've learned more, I think my music has been the better for it.

Still, I agree with you to an extent, as a lot of it is intuitive. But intuition is fed by the whole of our knowledge. Expanding your knowledge will serve your art well.

Cheers,
Steve

SoundscapeFM is on the air in Stralsund, Germany at 94.6 MHz FM, and streaming
on the internet at:

http://www.soundscape-fm.net/play.m3u

---Phonographic Migrations 3: SoundscapeFM
"Phonographic Migrations 3: SoundscapeFM" is a collaborative sound work which
takes place during the Garage Festival in Stralsund, Germany from 23 July to 14
August. It takes the form of an FM radio broadcast, combined with a
user-uploadable database filled with field recordings taken from all over the
world. In this way, the local radio is made an interface to the global as the
residents and visitors in Stralsund suddenly have the chance to immerse
themselves in an Amazonian rainforest, a Baltic ice-flow or a Vietnamese street
market--sometimes mixed together into one acoustic environment.

Groet, Erik

Hafler Trio (still going strong- and finally getting treatment)!

He's getting treatment at last? That's absolutely fantastic news!

Well, he's about to get it, anyway. Either way, it looks like mr. McKenzie is going to stay with us for another while. Which is nice.
His disease certainly didn't stop him from being productive, though.
Heh. I wish I had the funds to book him. Not going to happen anytime soon, I'm afraid.

Groet, Erik

So, are there any recent contributions to the genre?
