In PROBES #27 <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/probes-27> Chris Cutler tracks the modern composer from the scrapyard to the office, then through the living living room and into the kitchen in search of new musical resources - including scrap-metal, typewriters, vacuum cleaners, dot matrix printers, industrial quantities of paper, telephones, and the humble bean. Feat. music by Test Dept., Magnus Lindberg, [The User], Tan Dun, Annie Gosfield, Allison Knowles and more.

A tidal wave of probes and experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of ‘music’. This series tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they do.
