Collage

Collage music, which got its start in avant-garde circles during the 1960s, is essentially a sonic patchwork of samples, field recordings, and bits of found sound, resembling a musical version of a magpie's nest. The genre is defined by its eclectic layering, creating a disorienting yet oddly satisfying soundscape that can make anyone feel like they've accidentally wandered into an art installation gone awry. It's a delightful reminder that even in music, one person's rubbish can be another's treasure, or at least an avant-garde masterpiece that confounds parents everywhere.
