For every view that is born, there is always an opposite.
How it sounds
Like a bagged funk with punk elements and nuggets from avant-garde.
Depending on the amount of alcohol in the blood, it can also sound like free jazz.
It basically sounds like someone wants to say something, but you can not understand what
Why listen to it
From literacy alone.
Why not
Because it is an artistic movement and music is just a part of it.
And because the fact that you oppose another movement just makes you a parasite because without it there is no reason to exist.
Where we meet it
New York
When did it start
In the late ’70s and early’ 80s, it actually started in 1978
Who are the pioneers
Some frustrated punks, who found art in the Artists Space of New York.
James Chance and the Contortions, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Mars, DNA, Theoretical Girls and Rhys Chatham were key founders.
You have to listen
Mainly collections of ZE Records
Days of glory
Just the fact that they influenced important artists in the future.
Red card
The multifaceted nature of the movement could not last.
Nor can you write music without notes.
What is it confused with
This music is confusing in itself.
It does not confuse, it confuses you. Basically with avant-garde and noise.
How do you describe it to an irrelevant person?
Have you seen Jackson Pollock paintings? This, in music!
You can also say: Have you seen any romantic American comedies?
Where the prospective lover goes where his prospective girlfriend goes and they are in a half-empty dark club.
Where a band plays that no one understands what they are trying to do, but thanks to art everyone applauds. 5-6 that is, everyone and everyone.
This band is playing… No wave!
