“Art is described as being illuminating, and the rest of life as being dark. Naturally, I disagree. If there were a part of life dark enough to keep out of it a light from art, I would want to be in that darkness, fumbling around if necessary, but alive, and I rather think that contemporary music would be in the dark too, bumping into things, knocking others over and in general, adding to the disorder that characterizes life”. John Cage, ‘Notes on Silence’, pg45
Georgia Anne Muldrow – Wrong Way
Sean J Period – Places Everyone
This list is structured around a wonky, bumping, rolling sound: swung beats, loose drums, dropping rhythms. These are the songs that annoy my father, who always tells me that they just ’sound wrong’. Too right.
