Expect the Unexpected: Experimental music, or the ignorance of sound design. Zimmermann, B. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 9abstract bibtex Experimental music is a style of music that defines itself by opposition to other music styles. Many music lovers define their musical experience in opposition to other music styles, but experimental music bases its own characteristics not on rhythmic or melodic patterns, or specific instruments, but on the very idea of difference. Experimental music is music that differs. And quite often, together with this idea of difference, comes the idea of surprise. The audience expects that songs or performances will contain something unexpected. This chapter briefly discusses two sets of observations of the practices of experimental musicians. The first set relies on the author’s experience as a participant in a local music community in Switzerland between 1996 and 2013. The second set of data consists of observations of the activities a Chinese musician which was collected using participant observation, and in-depth qualitative field work, between 2003 and 2004 in Beijing.
