Sound Collage

Sound collage emerged in the early 20th century as avant-garde artists realised that randomly jamming together bits of audio could be quite liberating, and possibly a bit bewildering. Characterised by the layering of diverse audio samples, including spoken word, music snippets, and ambient sounds, it often resembles a sonic free-for-all – perfect for those who prefer their tunes with a side of insanity. The genre has since inspired everything from experimental film scores to viral internet soundbites, proving that chaos can indeed be quite fashionable.
