Sound Collage

Sound collage is a genre characterized by its unconventional approach to music creation, where artists experiment with unconventional sounds, textures, and arrangements. It often features fragmented rhythms, dissonant instrumentation, and manipulated vocal styles, blurring the lines between music, noise, and spoken word. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, sound collage drew inspiration from avant-garde, surrealism, and cut-up techniques, popularized by artists like William S. Burroughs. During the 1980s and 1990s, the genre gained momentum, particularly in the industrial and experimental scenes. Sound collage is culturally significant for its subversive and anti-commercial ethos, challenging traditional notions of music and art. It intersects with genres like noise, industrial, and plunderphonics, but its emphasis on sonic experimentation and deconstruction sets it apart. Notable for its use of found sounds, tape loops, and audio manipulation, sound collage continues to influence contemporary electronic and avant-garde music.
