Experimental Vocal

Experimental vocal music is a genre characterized by unconventional and innovative uses of the human voice, often pushing the boundaries of traditional singing. This genre emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly in the avant-garde and underground music scenes, and gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Defining characteristics include extended vocal techniques, such as overtones, whispers, and screams, as well as the incorporation of electronic manipulation and processing. The genre's cultural significance lies in its ability to challenge traditional notions of vocal expression, often conveying emotional intensity and intimacy. Experimental vocal music intersects with genres like electronic, avant-garde, and world music, while its emphasis on vocal experimentation sets it apart from more conventional styles. Notable for its use of dissonance, fragmentation, and atmospheric soundscapes, this genre has inspired a devoted following and influenced a wide range of musical styles.
