Early Avant Garde

Early avant-garde music, flourishing primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, represents a radical departure from traditional music composition and performance. It's characterized by an experimental approach that emphasizes novelty, a break from convention, and often includes atonality, dissonance, and unconventional sounds. Artists like Erik Satie and Luigi Russolo pushed boundaries by exploring unorthodox harmonies and inventing new instruments, respectively. This genre is aligned with the broader artistic avant-garde movement, which included poets like Arthur Rimbaud and Charles Baudelaire, who promoted similarly unconventional expressions in their art. The early avant-garde's daring redefinition of what music could be was profoundly influential and paved the way for subsequent avant-garde and experimental music movements.
