Description
I am attempting to create "music" by using "difficult" sounds. The attempt is to bring the listener into an area of listening and hearing that more traditional music and conventional approaches to music otherwise would not.
I then take these "difficult" sounds and work them together in ways that they may not ordinarily be worked, i.e., two different and "difficult" beat tracks that work off each other is an untraditional and jarring manner that would make "listening" to the song more difficult, but also in some ways more interestingly because it is less traditional.
Anyway, it is all an experiment. My roots are in minimalist composers and the avant-garde. I am more interested in an artist and his work when he is attempting to reach something beyond but "fails," rather than someone who does something that is old hat, no matter how good it may be.
Each Experiment flows one into the next, (see posting in Experiment 2).
Thank you for listening. Comments are welcome.

The difficult aspect in avant garde music is to make it
accessible to the listener while not compromising the
integrity of the experiment. I think you succeeded.
Too often, I fear, that it is enough for most experimental
music to exist. It fails to stretch the ears of the average
listener due to a lack of reference point that invites the
listener to the piece.
As you are well aware the average, or even the above
average Joe or Jill does not have an ear tuned to
experimental music. In my mind there still needs to be a
piece of the music that is accessible.
Having said that, I found your piece interesting. There is a
soul in there as evidenced by the material behind the
beats and the roaring turbines. It works and I congratulate
you.
