* the post-1945 avant-garde/modern forms of art music.
*Experimental classical music (post-1945)
Experimental classical music
Experimental classical music is a term introduced by composer John Cage in 1955. Cage defined "an experimental action is one the outcome of which is unforeseen" and he was specifically interested in completed works that performed an unpredictable action.
Experimental rock
Experimental rock is a type of music based on rock and roll which experiments with the basic elements of the genre, and/or which pushes the boundaries of common composition and performance technique. Performers may also attempt to individualize their music with unconventional time signatures, instrumental tunings, compositional styles, lyrical techniques, elements of other musical genres, singing styles, or instrumental effects.
Experimental instrumentalism
An experimental musical instrument is a musical instrument that is considered to be of one's own design or a modification or extension of a defined guideline of a certain instrument.
