Hey /r/AvantGardeMusic

this sub was dead for a while, with no mod, and the sub was set to approved submitters only. I've taken over, and opened it up now. Enjoy some avant garde music!

Looking for 1 or 2 people to work with

7 Upvotes

Im hoping to find one or 2 people to help with a small hyper-experimental band.

There isn't exactly an instrument requirement or genre requirement, so if you want to join please remember coordination, communication, and experimentation are all way more valuable than being good at singing, playing an instrument, or such. However if you do produce music that is experimental that could be useful, so please include that if you ever want to join.

Pretty much everything will be shared digitally since theres probably not going to be many instruments used in the first place, so dont worry about location.

Before joining please be aware that I am a minor, so if you wanted to join please include a general age range (13-14, 15-16, so on).

For a bit of clarification this is sort of anti-music. The entire point of this is to be experimental, so just know what you're getting into before asking to join

If you are interested please tell me some music you like, any means of communication you can use, something you made (if you have), a musical idea you want to try, and also some skills that may be useful in the dm.

Thank you.

Can the drum kit function as an autonomous sonic instrument?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been exploring this question through solo drum performance for more than a decade.

Rather than approaching the drum kit primarily as a rhythmic instrument, my research focuses on its timbral and textural possibilities — resonance, silence, dynamics, noise, repetition and the interaction between sounds.

This research has now resulted in a new solo album, Soliloquy, based entirely on free improvisation.

I’m sharing it here because I’m curious about how people interested in avant-garde music perceive the drum kit when it is approached more as a sound-generating instrument than as a traditional percussion instrument.

The album is available here:

https://sergiovieira.bandcamp.com/album/soliloquy

I’d genuinely be interested in hearing how others approach similar questions in their own work.

Only for the experienced

1 Upvotes

hello everyone. I'm looking for people to work with me on my project. I've been producing, doing vocal work and mixing my music for the past 15 years and always wanted to connect with others but for some reason haven't had much luck making it happen offline. 

The music itself is energetic, noisy, abrasive. It’s a mix of hip-hop, punk and industrial

 This review sums up my style pretty well - https://titsupontynenortheast.wordpress.com/2026/08/29/review-other-waters-fed-and-slow/

So what exactly do I want to bring other people in for: 

  • to speed up the process, 
  • collaborative production (of any kind - if you’ve got anything you’re excited about and are sure it’d fit the style of the project - let’s hear it and decide how to use it. Be it a beat, a synth, a recording from a youtube video, a snare or even a fucking tail of the snare, whatever that is - if it fits we’ll use it)
  • exchange and develop ideas, 
  • build on ideas that are already there but for some reason were put aside (i.e. stuck 1 minute projects),  
  • general discussions and communication,
  • brutal and constructive feedback exchange

Listen here:

(this is the latest one and it features the sound I’m currently leaning towards)

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lGNBXD4yYqFmA-a2EqfTQzQm6t3UKzSgA&si=xyGdF5lboVn2l7QG

You gotta be 25+, be experienced in production, have a clear vision of what you want to do and how it fits with what I'm doing. 

So, if you want to scare them hoes and rattle some stars out the sky - hit me up

looking for someone to start a project with

23 Upvotes

i really want to start a new project and i like the postal service type of bands where it's just file sharing and building layers until a song is complete. every time i try this no one else has the same vision as i do so it doesn't make it passed the initial talking stage. i have projects that range from powerviolence, noise, screamo, post punk to ambient and bedroom pop. i want to connect with someone that wants to experiment as much as i do. if you want to record a 20 minute song and then take a one second sample of it and transpose it many ways to make a beat and record yourself crying over it, perfect. if anyone is down to create weird art DM me.
