experimenting with sound

[floppypawss]

So i've been listening to a lot of vijay iyer, lou reed, velvet underground and kurt rosenwinkel lately, and all of these artists love to experiment with sound and noise, by pushing their instruments beyond the standard expectations. They dont just use chops (the jazz cats out there will get it) but they use space, dissonant chords, and atonal phrasing. Kurt, jazz guitarist uses gain and distortion to push noise, and create a more unified sound, that some might find irritating, but if your like me, you can find just the whole aspect of "free noise" beautiful. i recently listened to White Light/White Heat and was pushed to create this piece:http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/564432 read this description and please listen with an open mind.
If any of you guys have music that you have recently (or not recently) composed that u showcases experimentation in sound, please post it, as i am interested!

Right on. Im interested in this as well. Although I have written some pieces with a similar motive, I don't have anything I've uploaded on here to share. I'm into atonal and extended techniques in orchestral music.
And since your piece is called "War Sounds," it made me think of Penderecki:

That's pretty good war sounds I'd say, and it not only pushed beyond the standard expectations of the use in these instruments, it also expanded on how it was notated. Quite interesting. Penderecki is really just the start into this world though as it can get to be even more interesting.

thanks man it means a lot. that thing you sent me was beautiful. check out some stuff by Schoenberg, or ensembles like third coast percussion. maybe we can collab on some music like this?

I think this is pretty much experimental, i used bitcrushed drumploops and there is 2 drumloop layered, which is afaik not so usual.
