The Sound of Sound Collage

Experimental, fragmented, and endlessly curious, "The Sound of Sound Collage" assembles a broad spectrum of auditory cut-and-paste work into one chaotic, compelling listen. Pulling from artists like Nurse With Wound, Negativland, and People Like Us, this playlist loops and slices its way through disjointed narratives, cultural detritus, glitched-out electronics, spoken word, and accidental music. Each track feels like a deconstructed broadcast or a scrambled memory tape—sometimes humorous, sometimes unsettling, often both.

The selections span several decades of sound collage traditions and adjacent experimental practices, from William S. Burroughs and Kurt Cobain’s stark spoken-word combo to Igor Wakhevitch’s theatrical transitions. Pieces like Anna Caragnano and Donato Dozzy’s “Parola” drift into textured minimalism, while D/P/I and Eric Copeland lean into post-sample chaos. At times dense and mechanical, at others strangely intimate, the playlist stitches together disembodied voices, media noise, abstract electronics, and field recordings, creating a shifting mosaic of musical detritus and avant-garde leanings.
