Experimental Classical

Experimental Classical music emerged in the mid-20th century, as a delightful rebellion against convention, proving that you can indeed compose a symphony with a little less 'Mozart' and a lot more 'what on earth was that?' It often sounds like a mad scientist’s laboratory, with unpredictable dissonance, unconventional instruments, and a considerable amount of silence that would make even a librarian raise an eyebrow.

More about Experimental Classical

It has inspired countless modern composers to think outside the box, or perhaps to just throw the box out entirely and see if it makes a sound when it lands.
