Sound Art

Sound Art emerged in the 1960s as a playful response to traditional music, challenging the very definition of what constitutes sound and music, because, obviously, some people just can't help themselves when it comes to creating bizarre audio experiences. Characterised by installations, field recordings, and the delightful chaos of everyday noises, it often sounds like someone left their tape recorder on during a particularly loud dinner party. This genre has led to the realisation that your cat’s meowing or the hum of the fridge can be as expressive as a symphony, leaving listeners wondering if their appliances are the true avant-garde artists of our time.
